Jim Murphy has organized a Native Skate Jam on a six-foot high half pipe at the the Smithsonian Institution (Potomac Atrium National Museum of the American Indian). The session is on Friday, July 3 through Sunday, July 5 at 12 and 2 p.m. daily. The skate jam is in support of “Ramp It Up: Skateboard Culture in Native America” that is open through Sept. 13, 2009. Speaking of Ramp it Up, Betsy Gordon sent in some snaps from the exhibit.

Todd Harder, a Native American artist, has some deck graphics he designed on display there. Todd, if you’re reading this, congratulations brother!
Todd, you may not remember me, but we skated a bit on some local ramps (yours?) early 80’s when I was in school at Adrian College. Rick
