Nearly ten years in the making, the day is almost here. The Big Brooklyn Banks section has been refitted with bricks, and what looks like a smoother facade. Some of the Vans crew was in NYC and hit up the hallowed ground with Steve Rodriguez, Curren Caples, Nelly Morville and more. No exact word on an official opening day to the public, but it’s close!

Major shout to Steve for being the liaison to the NYC Parks Department and the city and making these miracles happen. Just a month ago, Steve was hitting the bricks with none other than Tony Hawk:
