Thread for Ohmidineffects "Eastborough" Series of CAPS.
http://i702.photobucket.com/albums/w...icture31-1.png
So this is the official thread for my CAP series "Eastborough". After being semi annoyed of port carverton and giving myself enough time to get comfortable with the CAP editing system I've decided to design my own city piece by piece. This thread will include the different parts of the city ETC. Everyone's welcome to comment. Eastborough is the brother city of SV/NSV, it's on the east coast and is home to alot of grimey D.I.Y. spots and some beautiful plazas, the city has had an alarmingly high crime rate for the past 20 years, so the police and security stopped targeting skateboarders so they could focus on crime. It's separated into 4 different sections
Irvine is right by city hall, and for the most part has remained unchanged from the day it was built and serves as the historical district and a tourist trap. The Greensburg is half occupied warehouses and companies the other half is yuppie paradise. The older warehouses make great studio lofts for rich kids while the garages and loading docks make great spots for skaters. Eastborough City is an island off of the coast but is home to all of the high rise buildings and condos. Finally there's Lynchester, the rougher part of Eastborough, lots of apartment complexes older skate spots and the Lynchester Recreational Center Skatepark. (LRC)
The following links will lead you to the parks.

Location:South Lynchester
Description:In the bustling heart of Lynchester lies LRC. The famed host of the AM Slam, Eastborough's Annual Amateur Skateboarding competition. Most of the participants of the contest know the layout of the park like the back of their hands, because this is the most frequented skatepark in the city. A local hotspot, mostly because it's free and the Rec Center is right next door.

Location:East Lynchester
Description:Located a few blocks away from the infamous Van Buren Houses, lynchester high is not known for its educational system, it's known for its lax school security that allows for people to hop the fence and skate the place to bits. Loads of video parts have been shot here, so most people just come here for a laid back session.

Description: Thanks to iNH buying out the old public storage warehouse in Greensburg, Ohmidineffect had the opportunity to build an entire indoor skatepark for iNH and the general public to skate. Loaded with a variety of different obstacles to skate iNHQ is a great place to get comfortable with a trick before you try it out in the streets, and a great place to hide out on a rainy day.

One of the few skateparks in the city that you can almost always spot a pro in without there being a competition.
