FORM is one of those refreshing and hard-to-define events where skateboarding meets art, education, social sciences, DIY culture, gatekeeping, layered onto the act of skateboarding itself. Lots of talking, movies to watch, shared experiences, live music and spontaneous happenings took place over 3 days, all brought together for a group of creative minds. The result? New friendships, expanded knowledge, future collaborations in the making, and last but not least, good fun.
