How To DIY Concrete Quarter Pipe: Under $50!! 

I always wondered how they poured those types of quarters, this gives me a sick idea!

These how to videos are better than any other because you can actually understand how to do not just someone doing a time lapse an then boom it’s done. Also I don’t know how I could have a favorite video because each time he post it is even better than the last.

when you think he’s gonna shred it at the end but he doesn’t haha! love your videos man keep it up

Hit that "thumbs up" button under the video if you want me to install this bad boy in the desert, forest, or similar!! Hope you guys enjoy! 🤘❤️

Someone at my local skatepark build a little bank kind of thing by a planter. It’s pretty old and crumbled but it’s so sick. Keep it up man!

Concrete being smoothed is so satisfying. Your videos are amazing!

I'm so glad I found your channel! All of your content is so well produced and really helpful. Keep killing it man

Vids are coming out great man we all love them keep it up 🙏

Way to bring the real diy tips out! Would love to see one on beer can coping

Cement has heaps of compressive strength but very low tensile ( think flex ), strength. That's why we add what call reo here in Oz. Also, keep the cement wet for the first day after you've poured it because it's curing, not drying, and there's actually quite a bit of heat in the reaction. It will be less likely to crack if wet. Of course not soaked but give it a spray every hour or two and once before packing up for the day. Good vid and some nice cheap fun :D

Not sure what it is exactly (im from australia) but I always love the added aesthetic that your old car gives to the content, very cool.

Should have showed some footage of you skating it! Such a good vid I wonder where i might be able to put something like this..

Nice feeling watching you making this beauty! Thanks for sharing.

I respect your humbleness.. I’ll be following up on your future vids 100

Zack, effing love this channel. I'm 31, and your vids get me hyped on skating like I'm still 16! Mad props bro! 🤘

Great content man, keep up the work. I see this channel going far

Really cool to see the build of it! Would love to see how you secure it and skate it now too!

Very cool, can’t wait to see you ride it. I would like to see more wood builds too, because I really like wood, but this is very cool.

Hell yeah dude. Keep these videos coming!

Love the way this ones edited together 🙂 makes it really interesting to watch

Hell yeah Dowdy! That thing looks sick, wanna see you ride it!

Hell yeah man!! Thanks for another good DIY love how affordable it is

Great work Zack!

i hope i find this when in a couple years when i got my back yard to build up something like this !! this is awesome 👏🏽👏🏽

this was rad i needed this! looking to upgrade some street spots for sure!

NIce, it came out looking awesome man

Well done! Pretty sweet little quarter pipe!

I love this channel!

That's a stunning Morris Minor!

Your Giving me so many IDEAS THANKS

Sick man!

Really like the diys, wanna see some clips of this one being skated ✊🏼

This vid is awesome!! thank you for making it!! make another vid of some skating on it and lets see it get shredded!! if it gets damaged make a vid on repairing it. Thanks man!

Awesome dude

Good shit man 👍

Wow, that quarter pipe is looking smooth, and the concrete had separate from the mold because it is dry... Nice video for sure.

bro, if you could put it together with another one so it's like a mini wall ride halfpipe that'd be so dope!

I just finished a 5 page english essay on this video thank you for being in depth

Truper!! around the wolrd!!

Your probably one of my fav skater RU-vidrs

Thank you very much for this tip now I have the means of practicing some transition skating without having to go to the skatepark when I'm pressed on time!

thank you so much this inspired me tons

Sick video

looks rad af but a little bit thin, keep on bro, great video !

Damn homie cant even add a couple skate clips at the end? Sick vid but lets see this bad boy in action.

zach...you should look into Ductal or any ductile concrete....it's heavier compared to regular concrete but much stronger & you can make it extra thin.

Cool video. Start cutting out for footers ( or finding existing edges ) and these spots start locking together.

Good effort.

What’s going to hold it up. Maybe when I make mine I’ll add a ledge on the inside . Or maybe some rebar that extends out so that I can lock it to a wall. Looks good. Great idea! Great video !

Thank Zack!

Amazing work. Will you add mortar to the base to smooth the transition from flat? Would have loved to see you skate it

Bro this is dope I want to do Something like this at my house.

That is awesome👍

You can build a complete bowl using that timber form method but you leave the screws sticking out a bit to tie your rebar to 👍

Thanks for all the inspiration. I have some pics to send u of a spot u and the aussie DIY diaries inspired

I've tied rebar for a living and if you're not building a proper structurally sound building you don't really need tight ties. I knew some people that would tie really sloppy and you'd walk on the bars and the wire would snap. Not fun to slip on. But sloppy or not sloppy as long as it holds while you're pouring your quarter pipe you'll be sweet! Thought I'd also mention the fact that you used pliers instead of wire nippers and still managed to do a good job haha.

Great video! Just add some shreddin in next time

Nice Morris

Love your videos man!!! I have a question on the concrete mixture you use. Can I use it to resurface a pavement and fill small cracks? ✌whenever you can answer my questions

Right On!!! So no backside smith?

been watching ur videos for a while im tryna skate with ya zack

So cool 😎

Hi, I'm keen to get something like this done so I can drop it into a spot ninja style without having to spend time and risk getting caught building on site. A few questions do you think making it a board length wide and adding a lip of about a board width and keeping the base where it meets the ground 3 inches for extra strength would add too much weight? I want it to be movable at least until it is in place. I saw you moving yours around in the vid but and hopefully I can get some help with mine Also as far as support goes I'm thinking of stacking soil up behind it to stop it falling backwards as there is no wall I hope this is enough. Have you had any problems at the base of your quarter where it meets the ground My idea is to dig 3 inches down and bump the bottom of my quarter against the edge of an existing concrete area so there is no weak connection. I suppose this was more or less your original intention for your quarter. Anyway good job chief I'd been thinking about this sort of thing for a while but never got round to it.

‘Take’ the concrete quarter pipe...🗽🇺🇸

soo sick

Nice one

watched the whole vid to see how you set it into the established crete and dude ended before completing. also, materials and tools exceed 50$ if you count tools. I assume you use a hammer and an angle grinder with a mason bit to cut out the footer? Still, stoked on the method.

I’m doing basically the same thing, but I’m going to treat it like it’s a mold and build it upside down. Using a piece of mega smooth painted fiber glass so the top riding side will be perfect.

Hell Ya! Recycling 🇺🇸💗

Cool content! I love your DIY mentality, but in this case - talking about movable ramps, why using concrete instead of just wood?

crazy video quality how did the youtube algorithm get my here just now?

Can you make a concrete box/manual pad DIY video?

I like this...a lot

This is dope sick to see the whole process, but a question I have is if I wanted to start getting my basic building tools what should I do or what's going to be best?

Awesome

Cool idea brother! Why didn’t you skate it?

Seeing this made me see how easy it really is. Damn I’m lazy.

Wouldn't it just snap in half without any support underneath? Did it work out?

Sweet quarter pipe. Did you need to cure it like keep it wet for a few days after you toke it out of the mold?

where there a bunch of pebbles in the concrete mix? every time i buy concrete i cant get it smooth because of the pebbles in there and i just need to know so i can buy the right one.

Cool channel

Tech necke way of doing things

I've never seen a quarterpipe like this. Would it hold up? It looks really thin. Or is there gonna be some structure at the backside?

Now that you got the mold, make a couple more, see if you can put them back to back and have a spine

The tapered down part looks under 1"? Did that crack? Looks like it's under 100 pounds unless you are super 💪?! You moved it pretty easy?

You sound just like J.G. Quintel aka Mordecai off Regular Show. Its actually really crazy how similar you guys sound.

What’s more costly, building the concrete piece like you did, or just continuing with the forms and making a wood quarter pipe?

is there a reason that you build all your stof of cocrete insted of tree ?

Dude how u not gonna skate it afterwards? Let me c that b/s smith u were talking about.

I may have missed it if you said it but how long did you wait to pull it from the form?

brb running to Home Depot real quick

Nice

Cool beans

Weird question... can i use wire fence as chicken wire for a shitty manny pad i wanna pour at my local diy spot 🤔 i built the wooden form and have some rusty rebar just no chicken wire :/

Wow so I can make a cast for ramps? That is sooo sooo sooo useful to know, now if they remove my miniramps they won't be hard to replace lmao

Have you ever seen the guy who use to run tampa skate park with Brian S. driveway skatepark. All concrete.

forrest for sure!

Does it slide down, or do you need something to hold it in position?

This is interesting there is many of a teacqneuce I would like to encourage you to create ok

Does anyone know what shoes he's rocking ? Adidas obviously, but there are so many out there...
