Devoted A Video Documentary on Skateboard Media
Many of us were introduced to the sports we now love through the classic print magazine. The early days of many "action sports" were far from mainstream and the only portal into the world of sports like skateboarding were through magazines. "Devoted" is a tribute to people who spent their life documenting skateboarding and looks at the importance and future of print magazines in action sports culture.

My name is Lucas Beaufort, I’m a 35 years old french artist obsessed with skateboarding.
I’ve always been a huge fan of print magazines, I collect every single piece since I was able to read.
Since March 2016, I’ve travelled the globe across Europe, US, Japan and Australia to meet the most influential skateboard media to get their opinion about the future of print.
"DEVOTED" is a tribute to people who spent their life documenting skateboarding.
