This is huge! NYC's MoMI is having a massive exhibit and installation celebrating the DIY skate videos of the 90s. Plan B videos, TransWorld videos, 411s and more. The full announcement is here. Definitely book a trip to NYC—don't miss this one!

On the opening night of September 7, don't miss an all-new digital re-master of Plan B’s 1993 release Virtual Reality , along with rarely seen archival footage. Michaela Ternasky-Holland, Mike Ternasky’s daughter, will moderate a discussion with skateboard legend Matt Hensley and filmmaker Jacob Rosenberg, Ternasky’s protege and collaborator. Event details here .

"Recording the Ride , installed in MoMI’s Video Screening Amphitheater and Gallery, will feature videos and objects related to the formative years of the skate video in the 1980s and 1990s, with a focus on those that laid the foundation for the structure and style of the genre, including releases by Powell Peralta, H-Street, Plan B, World Industries, Girl, Birdhouse, 411, Zoo York, and more. Highlights include artifacts from the production of The Bones Brigade Video Show (1984); a focus on Mike Ternasky and the brand Plan B, with vintage production and post-production artifacts used in the making of their seminal releases The Questionable Video (1992) and Virtual Reality (1993); and behind-the-scenes images, including photos shot by Spike Jonze—whose filmmaking career began with the production of skate videos—on the set of Video Days (1991). Period skateboard decks will link the spirit and aesthetic established in these videos to the emergence of 1990s skater-owned brands."
