“From Skateparks to Set Design: A Journey of Creativity, Innovation and Adventure” features presenter Tim Payne, president of Team Pain Skate Parks and ramp designer to the skateboarding stars.
Besides being a skateboarding mainstay in the Orlando area for decades, Payne has built daredevil vert ramps for the X Games, aided and abetted the Jackass crew with set-piece designs and designed the ramp for Tony Hawk’s 900 trick (a two-and-a-half-revolution or 900-degree aerial spin).
Speaking to Orlando Weekly, Payne said that his lecture — currently numbering a couple hundred slides of unique photo and historical documentation — will consist of two distinct parts. In the first section, Payne uses 3-D modeling to demonstrate how Team Payne builds a ramp, from conception to completion. The second part sees Payne telling all about Orlando skateboarding history, the places and the faces. Along with a healthy dose of dodging the cops and sundry authority figures. (The Burdines wall at Fashion Square Mall-as-skate destination will figure in.)
“From Skateparks to Set Design: A Journey of Creativity, Innovation and Adventure” happens at Orlando Museum of Art at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 19. Admission to the museum is free on that Thursday.
Even though the event is free, we recommend that you RSVP in advance. All of the Push-related programming so far has been packed to the rafters.
