What tricks do you want to see on the spot!?!

@ozzygreen619 3 года назад

Slappy Noseslide to any flatground trick would be sick!

@Sjuuljoosen 3 года назад

Fs. 5-0 stal transfer to fakie. Or maybe fs blunt transfer. I think if you'd slightly wet the concrete and rocks below the surface itll help prevent cracking. Maybe a sheet of plastic to prevent vapourizing. If you own a chissel you could grind two parralel groves and just chissel a channel. This also gives the new layer of concrete some thickness which helps for the strenght and maybe avoids the need of the vinylpatcher.

I use the 3D Satellite option on iPhone maps to find DIY spots. I found an abandoned tennis court in an isolated part of town! No businesses, no houses, no complaints and no one to get in my way!

@angelokefalas3750 3 года назад

Another Killer Video Brother! Definitely one of your best builds! Looks so sick. Now that you have that cordless grinder, you are going to be able to build so much more. Several years ago I bought an inexpensive generator from Harbor Freight for $88. I use it when I'm working at a spot with no electricity to charge up all my cordless tools. Great tool to invest in. Keep Killing It! 💪💥🔥🤘

These videos are so awesome. Have you ever tried skating the quarter mile long drainage ditch near 5725 Eastgate Dr, San Diego, CA 92121? It’s about 20 feet wide with small banks on each side. There’s hardly any downward incline to the drainage.

You should keep the gravel away from the forms so when you strip it the substrate won’t erode

I noticed you add mortar to your Quikrete mix, what's the purpose of that? Smoother finish? Added strength due to extra Portland?

@doogliebop 4 месяца назад

Is there a reason for you using different cements? Like is the industrial (white bag) better for a base layer or are you just using what you got?

@TheMarkarian13 9 месяцев назад

Put a tarp over it for some shade next time bruh. Slows the curing a bit. Especially stops the sun from baking it direct. Good job as always tho :)

@eurnrome9139 2 года назад

Is there a video for that concrete ledge/manny pad or did I just miss it? I wanna try and build one so bad. Also, if you ever go to Austin TX there's a PERFECT hidden diy spot that's been growing the past few years.

@donny483 2 года назад

Hey Zack! Super nice DIY videos, learnt a lot so far. Just a question: do I understand it correctly that the first pour of concreate (wich makes up the tha basics of the shape) is a drier mix wich you then finish of with a more wet concrete mix for the nice smooth finish? Thanks for the reply man, so much appreciated :)

@ZackDowdy 2 года назад

Stoked they can help! You got that right, drier mix for the fill & a little more pasty/wet for the top.

What kind of concrete mix do you use for the top layer? it looks alot smoother and it looks like it has less aggregate compared to the initial layer

Mortar! Sometimes I’ll mix it into the crete the second side I just layered on top & it doesn’t seem as strong.

@glennramsey3471 3 года назад

Am I crazy or did my dude make a cut but not break out the concrete at the beginning of the transition? What was the point of the cut? Should be so that the riding surface doesn’t taper too thin and break up from rolling over it.

@glennramsey3471 3 года назад

Or was it broken up but the fill just filled flush to the ground level? Would seem like a waste of time if so? Just curious... I was lookin’ out for it specifically but didn’t really see anything besides the cut

@TheMogador1111 3 года назад

hi, you are killing your back and wasting you time by doing the mix this way . open the bags of mortier on the ground , shape it like a volcano and then add your water on the hole . and then yon can do the mix standing up with a shovel taking the mortier from the outside to the center. i hope this tips can help .Love your video and style . Alex, French 43 years sk8ter and builder .

@ZackDowdy 3 года назад

I've tried this in the past and it got really messy, I've had success with quickcrete but because the mortar is so fine, it kinda ends up spreading out vs mixing. But maybe I should try again!

@ryanurquhart8436 2 года назад

They are not curbs, there parking blocks.

@culturevultureexclusives Год назад

That's the technical term but they're more commonly referred to as curbs. Yes, curbs also refers the edge of a sidewalk. Did you know literally every ledge is considered a curb in Spain? Not everyone speaks the same way 😉
