I bottled beer for about 8 months. Work sucked, but we lined up after work every night. I barely made it out of there.

yeah mr’s comments strike close to the heart. its hard to draw that fine line b/w work and skating, when trying to actually make enough. how much is enough? you think that they built a giant grill at the keilbasa plant and those guys eat killer grilled kielbasa all day? or the bread factory theory, love the smell of bread? work there and it fades. Bottom line: There has ALWAYS been something to skate at eastern. The vert ramp, mini ramp,that curb,the new mini ramp, and then this thing. Yes it is closed on most days and sessions must be coordinated through management. and yes it was built by team pain.

That is a very nice park. I skated it once and everything was perfect. The birch is awesome and the lines you can throw down are gnarly. The bowl is massive and skates crazy nice. I’m still waiting for a job opportunity to come up so I can skate it again.

Boy, things must have changed at Eastern. When I worked there you weren’t even allowed to skate in the warehouse at all. Reggie hired some new “management” whose focus was on the money. I think they got into Reggie’s ear and when it was all said and done, all of the emphasis was taken away from the skating part of the biz and the focus seemed to shift to making sure the numbers crunched at the end of the day. That is one of the reasons I ended up leaving Eastern. They were getting all this clout as being such a core distributor and the employees (all skaters) weren’t even allowed to bring their boards in the shop. It got pretty sad there for a while. I say all of that to really emphsis how good it is to see something of this magnitude going up at Eastern. Like I said, things must have changed and it is damn good to see. I hope they lifted the “no skating” ban so they can actually enjoy this shit.
