I made 2 of these today. I spaced it out so it had 4 boxes. Only tricky part for me was getting the boxes angled and stapled in without missing the divider.
That is awesome! I love to hear that. And that is a tricky part… it would take more time but maybe mark where the beginning and end of those board are and draw a line. Then each shot would be exactly in the middle. I have definitely missed a few myself :)
bro, I am Californian and I dream about moving out of state, when I do this is what i will be building in my back yard. Love it man so cool. such craftsmanship
I need to know the timlapse of this event my dude...what's a good time estimate of the entire project. Throw me a number what are we talking about 5 hours tops?
The effort and craftsmanship you put into this along with the attention to detail was enjoyable to see and rare coming from something a skater has built. Nice work 👍🏼
Did u use mortar then some sorta thinset on the top tile pieces? Or did u use some sorta patcher/thinset and then tile glue? I used this Mapei concrete patcher on the top and bottom of my ramp thats like Ardex or Henerys, its like a waterbased bondo that dries more like concrete! It comes in a powder and then just add water.
wait... you planted the top??? Why didn't you fill it in with concrete? idk man... seems like lots of extra tricks and creative skate opportunities that are missed from only being able to ride the transition. Flip tricks off the platform alone would be worth it to have that top solid. Oh well, your project not mine.
What a completely standard obstacle not saying it sucks but if you've got that much money to build something wouldn't you try to build something that you can't find at any normal skate park I thought that was kind of the point of building diys
I fully understand that. But that was kind of the point about this. Richmond va has never had a skatepark with actual handrails. So Iv personally always wanted some. Maybe one day we will have parks with rails and hubbas that are actually good 🤞
I just started getting back into skating a few months ago after moving to Richmond about a year ago. Just having access to nice skate parks between 28th street, Southside, and Texas Beach is crazy. I was at Texas Beach for the first time the other week. I never had access to even a decent skatepark in the small town I grew up in, so its been such an amazing vibe re-learning skateboarding in these parks after so many years off a board. Hats off to the people like you that have made it possible for us to have stuff like this to skate! Keep it up, maybe I will see ya around sometime!
Maybe not on a large scale as this place, but as someone with no concrete experience is possible, or would I lack knowledge and skill to make my own mini ramp/bowl correctly. 🛹
