Artist Series: Benjamin Deberdt | Capturing an authentic portrayal of underground European skate scenes

Why does the skate scene in Europe, specifically Paris, seem so much damn cooler than in California? Well it’s because of guys like Benjamin Deberdt. What Youth just linked up with him and talked…

 

“Benjamin Deberdt is a staple in the European skate scene. He’s been influential in bringing an authentic portrayal of underground skate scenes across France and Europe. He started Sugar Magazine and now runs Live Skateboard Media, a European hub for quality skate clips. We recently found ourselves in Paris with Benjamin and talked to him about how he brought an identity and look to the scenes in Europe.”
