Public domaine skate board culture @ the gaite lyrique

The idea of skate boarding has always been somewhat scary to me. How is it possible to balance while moving on four wheels and a board, there are no breaks so how do you stop? yes okay, dumb question, but with all that coordination I would most probably end up in a wall before I could react to stop myself. At the Gaite lyrique  they've had the most incredible exhibition for the past 2 months on the art of skate boarding, and I don't just mean the ability to balance but the actual art found in this skateboarding culture. It finishes today, so if you are in Paris go and check it out it is definitely fascinating!
