HEART - A Tribute to Skateshops - Part 1

[@artemface]

Skateshops are the heart and soul of a local skate community, full stop. Also, the Heart book is great, it’s on my coffee table rn ♥️

[@oscarlozano1983]

Best memories, before the internet and smartphones. My local shop was downtown which seemed like a world away from Northside of town. It's where you met new skate friends and all got along. Rich poor punk hip hop Northside Southside. You met up watched the new skate video felt the boards stood on them felt the concave then went skated downtown and survived on a hot dog and big gulp

[@ShawnPBruce]

This is so dope. I’ve been photographing skateboarding for a while now and I’m always so excited to visit a new city and stop by the local shop to see where the locals hang out.

[@AlexisxGautier]

Thanks Shawn! Do you have an Instagram account where you post your pictures? I’d love to check them out.

[@AlexisxGautier]

Thanks!

What a great watch! Bringing back those nostalgic moments when I was a grommet frequenting my local skate shop. I wish there was more of a community connection/camaraderie in skate shops and the streets here in Melbourne - a lot of skaters are snobs and stick to their own cliques

[@AlexisxGautier]

I feel like that's an issue big cities can face, rather than smaller ones. Cities where there are enough people to have multiples crews. I've experienced the same within the underground hardcore punk scene where my roots are (along with skateboarding) and felt it was pretty similar to the skate scene.

I remember hanging out at the skateshop all day playing inn the parking lot asking for stickers the vibe there really shaped my childhood rip good times davenport iowa

Great job Alexis! This is beautiful.

[@armandobarajasjr]

Awesome! Long live the art & skate-type skate shops! Community, not greed - hard to maintain a skate shop on these principles though (?)
