The expression DIY gets thrown around a lot nowadays and we at Beaulieu are guilty of it too. It’s become a buzz word that gradually loses its meaning as it is overused and coopted by big companies to sell us our slice of counterculture.
On the 23rd of April, was held the 3rd annual Beaulieu DIY Jam in the South of France. Skaters from all around, gathered in the old quarry to enjoy the Hang-Up crew’s newest concrete creations.
The Beaulieu DIY is an abandonned skatepark built in in 1998 by a group of young dudes from Beaulieu and town council workers in part of an old quarry given to them by the mayor. Over the years, the park has grown thanks to many skaters and lately the Hang-Up crew has been building there and scored a deal with local authorities to be caretakers of the spot.
