Independent - Burnside Replica Box

"Burnside's rise from junkie lair to its current glory was due to [...] years of sweat, toil, and piecemeal ingenuity by local diehards whom Mark [Red] Scott led to expand upon Bret Taylor's original impetus.
Entirely unsubsidized, they laid down concrete and tested it as they went along until they achieved the desired result. It is a grass roots reclamation project that so positively changed the surrounding neighborhood that the city bestowed on [them] a citation for civic improvement.
Burnside is an awe-inspiring pilgrimage site because the right fanatics built it for all the right reasons." –The Answer is Never, A Skateboarder’s History of the World (2002)
