HEART - A Tribute to Skateshops - Part 1

This 32 minute long documentary is a love letter to all the skateshops and their community of artists, photographers and friends.
This film is a sequel to the HEART book released in 2022 celebrating 40 years of skateshops’ history by French artist Lucas Beaufort.

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 ♥️

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.

[@veronicaibarra8865]

Beautiful. Just what we need.

[@AlexisxGautier]

Thanks Veronica, glad you liked it!

[@thegourmetfoodi3702]

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.

[@jameslowe2979]

Loved this film, really well made with a light touch. Excellent job.

[@AlexisxGautier]

[@collectivetrofa]

[@leovalls1143]

Great job guys! Doing it for the culture.

[@armandobarajasjr]

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

[@sarahconnor2390]

Great Great Job!!

[@mrblaze6982]

I’m from Heidelberg like the dude in the video! We had the dopest skateshop called „skate express“! Sadly during covid it closed and now theres there is only a „chain-shop“! So sad! I loved growing up going there! Shaped me so much! So important! 🛹❤️

[@AlexisxGautier]

No way! I reached out to them to get some pictures from the early days (no luck finding some unfortunately). Great guys!
