From Heading South to Far East
So, it seems that the video below was triggered by a postcard I sent to Takahiro Morita, a while ago, featuring this photo…
This one is from a couple years ago, at the end of a great week-end spent in Poitiers, for the Skate This Art group show / art and music event, held by local creative force Jonathan Alix back then… Good times, for sure, and a lot of great people were met, including Margeaux, here, or "Go-Mar" as she would most likely want to be called…
It is quite funny to write about how skateboarders are (while wishing they were) strange characters living an eccentric and free life, to finally meet the epitome of all that, only as a teenage girl that could most likely spit further than you or I. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
Here she is, after a week-end of partying like it was 1999 all over again, skating, harvesting flea-markets, scaring the hell out of young children, discussing the fine art of zine making and more, about to start her trek back home. Needless to say the adults amongst us heading another direction were scared shitless for her, until she finally let us know she was home and safe.
Long live the weirdos in skateboarding.
