Paine's Park Project

About me:

Love Park made Philadelphia a skate Mecca around the world. Love was epic. It wasn’t a ramp or a half-pipe, it was the street, a park, a piece of the city…that just happened to be perfect to skate. Love was where guys like Stevie Williams and Josh Kalis made a name for themselves. Kids rode the R5 from the suburbs to Love just to watch kids from North Girard and South of Catherine put on a show. Love was born and lived on common belief. Life-loving, hard-charging, uncompromised belief. The idea of Paine’s Park was born from Love and that same belief. It was born from every bruised shin and broken wrist; every drop of sweat and blood; it was born from a soul that lost its body. Paine’s Park isn’t going to be just another place to skate, it will be the home of skating in Philly, the place that the tomorrow of skate will come from. A park designed to be a natural part of its environment, just like Love. Not ramps, kickers and a couple rails in a parking lot…but common ground for a worldwide community. The shirts represent a movement. A movement to raise Paine from Love. A movement to give the body back to the soul. A movement to, once again, make Philly the center of skate. We had Love. We will have Paine. From Love comes Paine. ....
