About the owner

Blake Rodevick grew up in Millersville, Maryland. Where his Grandfather and Uncle shared a large garage in his backyard. In high school, Blake took an interest in downhill skateboarding, as well and riding anything with a motor.

In 2012, Blake started a business for resurfacing flat-spotted skateboard wheels using a homemade attachment for his Grandfather’s lathe. He named it Eastern Wheel Modders.

In 2016, while attending Towson University, Blake bought his first electric skateboard for commuting. After having it break down, he realized he was the only one in the area who would be willing to try to fix it.
