Brian Yeagle on The Wheel Mill

"
"The Wheel Mill is a new skate park located only two miles from my apartment and has afforded a good number of sessions already despite not being officially open. A few friends have been involved since the beginning, or were integral to the beginning, as designers and builders or the park. These shots are from the unfinished rhythm room. The line has a wonderful combination of lateral shifts and elevation changes that give it an organic feel I haven’t experienced on any other box line. Of course, the wire wheel is only a little provisional setup for the day. I imagined it to be much more sturdy than it was. Even fastened to the deck with screws the structure itself was rickety, only made of thin boards of uncertain strength that I shouldn’t have put much confidence in. It survived a few foot-plants and by buddy Tom did some sub-box moves on it from the lip. As things develop I’ll post more interior and action shots from the Mill. It’s exciting watching things proceed there and enlightening to have access to the behind the scenes processes that are often overlooked when considering something of this nature. Much respect for all those involved, mostly for Harry Geyer, the gentleman standing behind everything."  - Brian Yeagle
