On the furthest outreaches of the East Coast, there lives a humanoid that knows no limits. One day, an idea was hatched, deep within his cerebral cortex and, after many years of hard work and dedication, his vision for a wooden backyard mega-bowl with yards and yards of grindable coping was complete. This unique individual goes by a number of tags… some call him Science, while others prefer, Dave. I don’t think he cares what you call him. He just wants to build and skate and collect toys. His creation is called the Spruce Goose or the “eighth wonder of the world.” The grand opening party invite went something like this… “Expect nothing. Leave with something whacky. Free Skatelite burns. There are no directions, but the right ones. BYOB. Bring a grillable. Bring a tent. Bring your board. Bring your cajones…” That about sums it up. Here are a collection of photos and videos from a great group of photographers and filmers that contributed their work to memorialize this unveiling of radness. Big thanks to Mark Nichols, Quinn Knight, Evan Foster, Rob Nelson and Josh McFadden. 100% Respect to master builder & destroyer, Dave Maxwell.
