Risk was an obvious choice for a healthy contribution to the recent "BEYOND THE STREETS" exhibition, curated by Roger Gastman and Adidas Skateboarding THE VENICE PAVILION One of the more nostalgic moments for many Los Angeles Residents during the "Beyond the Streets" event was the iconic recreation of the Venice Pavilion, featuring replicate concrete park fixtures and wall to wall graffiti by none other than Risk.
