    Freshly poured concrete needs it or it will crack fast. You can actually spray water on 10 year old concrete and if you sit and watch the concrete will slowly take some hydration.

    Thanks for the video Ben. Love the step by step. I never knew why my 8" trucks felt so good on my 8.25" board. You hit it on the head. It feels like it flips easy like a smaller board. But the tiny bit bigger deck inspires confidence to land cleaner. I live in the Lower Mainland as well. Maybe I will run into at one of the local parks you've featured.

    @@zerodicjcorez9173 You won't be disappointed. When I started skating again. I went from my classic 7.75 to 8. It felt huge. Now 8 feels small. 8.25 - 8.50, truck size one size smaller is such a nice feeling. If you can get past the "magic carpet" look. You will kill it at flat ground and everything else. The board flips faster but you have way more to land on. Also not riding a pencil on trasition is nice.

Ive got the space but a sloped block and we have to actully leave home to skate, like get in the car leave as the roads here are country roads and no good, really chunky blue metal . One day ill get a slap put in the machine shed $$$ so we can skate year round and ive already saved your half pip tutorial and this is going in the same ideas file. Thank Ben .

    Hi ben!! In construction we use when ,we dont have the specific liquid for de molding, kerosene or diesel fuel it’s greasy enogh and armored concrete, I don’t know how you call it in canada or use in argentina is hormigon armado you always use rebars and the way is to put 3 in a triangle or four in case of real concrete and we use what we call estribos which is a square rebar every 15 or 20 cm tying the rebars together so that takes te cut effect on the structure but the sort thing is allways use rebars!!!!

    Rad. This was fun to watch. I made a glorified parking block for the sidewalk in front of my house. One of my biggest mistakes was not mixing the concrete wet enough. I also made the edges way too sharp which tore up my board & trucks pretty quickly. I eventually got a rub brick & rounded the edges to about .75 radius which made it 1000% better
