93 STILL ep.02 / LE FORUM – ZEROPOLIS LILLE
Fellow skate-nerd and piv-fakie enthusiast Olivier Ente shines light on the terrain that helped shape Lille’s criminally underrated skate scene, with a 6-part docu-series entitled 93 Still, one of which is this brilliant deep dive into the history of the now-defunct brick beauty known as LE FORUM.
Growing up, Tavu’s output always felt light-years ahead of what was being featured in French mags, both in terms of his spot selection and how he used them, but also with the world-building around his art, the events he was involved in (you’ll see what we mean in a later episode), and everything else he touched. I guess it makes sense that he’d keep the same energy when deciding to get his Ted Barrow on…
Shoutout to Zeropolis Skateshop for making this possible and for holding it down in Lille for the last 25+ years. Episode one is also available on their channel/site, and they’ll be dropping more episodes every week.
