[blackalbino]

It makes sense to build a plaza with all that free cement they got.

jesus christ, that was incredible. if i could gnar you i would.

Looks like all the "sellouts" are helping skateboarding, and all the "core" guys are just sitting around talking about how "core" they are. Where are the ricky oyolas, the bobby puleos, and the pappalardos at?

5 stars.  COTG never lets me down.   

[popsiclesandskatin]

we all kinda figure berra lurks but this is so direct that its forsure he does.

steve_berra:I'm from the midwest. The concrete sucks as bad as it does on the east coast, so all of u who don't live in CA and want a park. I'm trying.

Building tight ass companies (and benches) out of their garages.  What of it?

nobody owes you anything, if you want something go get it for yourself. stop expecting other people to do it for you

[ticklefingers]

i bet this berrics plaza thing is just some investor looking to put a fancy name on a half baked idea

Norfolk, VA. The park is fun, but it won't be open year round and it's definitely not a plaza. Here's some footy of the park form before it was fenced off and covered in gravel.

[luke_gardner]

It would be cool if they could build one in Chicago.  Parks are a mess here

what, the matrix isn't enough of a plaza for you? hah. agreed, chi needs some help

[Stolen Darkness]

honestly, if east coasters were gettin all the parks im sure the Cali heads would be beggin for some too.

Bethlehem has a plaza now, thanks to the locals...there is always that route instead of being a spoon fed west coaster.

[ChildoftheGhetto]

The first one was in ohio back in like 2005, and no one was begging for one then. Dyrdek and p rod Just started raising money and putting them everywhere. The local pros on the east coast would do the same thing, if they weren't so busy talking shit on everyone that's not from the east coast.

[Stolen Darkness]

I'm not taking sides...which means I'll just bring up points for whatever coast has points that should be brought up...but if Wenning or Pops moved to the West Coast, got on MTV or had spots to 'practice' at to get as good (West Coast) as P. Rod and make all this money, I'm sure it would go into plazas in their hometowns too.

It really just comes down to money and fame.

Both of which are easy or easier to get  here in California than out in the East.

if you want plazas on the east coast then sell out. why should successful, west coast sell outs like dyrdek, prod, berra, and koston, build plazas in the east where everyone hates them for selling out? get your own sell outs dude.

did no one read this? i thought it was really funny.

[NickDagger]

I'm definitely down for anyone building more skateparks anywhere.... but is this gonna be some pay to skate thing? If you read the sign in the picture it talks about there being a pavillion with streaming content from the berrics playing on lcd screens and stuff....

eat a dick faggot we couldn't ever get a public park built here without outside help because the owner of a private pay to skate XtrEmE park would just cock block us.

[H8R part 4]

it would be dope if there were more parks here on the east but really, more parks means more skating for all.
build them anywhere and let people enjoy them.

i hope they build a few in the midwest and in the east to show us some love cause it sucks to see cali constantly getting parks.

[close]

that is exactly why you don't have parks.

[close]

No, fuck you. I completely agree. We don't have shit for parks and even less for spots.

If I'm not confused, Ricky is working extra jobs so that he can continue building a solid reputable brand in order to create a stronger scene on the east coast. He's definitely not making big money off of Traffic, and it seems like he is doing it more for the mission than anything.
I'm not trying to defend the east coast and won't speak on the rest of them, but Ricky puts blood and sweat in to make the east coast a better place.

Can you explain what he does to make a "strong scene" on the east coast? I'm not saying he isn't, but I don't see how that guy has done anything for anyone on the east coast - except maybe whatever he's involved with in his own little local neighborhood.

[HyperBeam]

if ricky oyola wanted to make dough, he would have turned dan plunkett pro. unintentional rhyme. but seriously, dan plunkett, the one that got away. him brock and jake donnelly are the only legit skaters to come out of the east coast.
