For over 20 years rumor has it that Mark O'Connor performed an entire concert while riding a skateboard. After 20 years, the rumors have become legend. But still people have wondered; was it true? Did it take place, where, and with who?

A video has now surfaced from the audience of 2,000 people circling a blocked off street in downtown Nashville capturing the events of this musical-skateboarding adventure. The Skateboarding Extravaganza was an idea that Mark O'Connor put together with some of his good friends who were musicians and skateboarders. Together, they would often ride their boards in empty parking garages in the middle of the night (even during the period they were releasing Grammy winning albums!) The Extravaganza was an official scheduled event at the Summer Lights Festival.

Even while Mark O'Connor and Victor Wooten ride a skateboard, one gets the distinct feeling that they are still playing the electric violin and bass guitar better than anyone else on the planet!

Mark O'Connor - Violin
Victor Wooten - Bass
"Future Man" Roy Wooten - Drumitar
Michael Kott - Cello
