Second episode of #diyskatespot tutorial. I'm having a blast making them. Make sure to let me know what you'd like to see next & subscribe for more! In this video we build a skate spot using mortar mix, a cheap and relevantly fast curing concrete that sometimes is a good alternative to the popular bondo. Use this technique to fix a ditch, build a bank, ledge, stairs, gap, rail, just about anything you want to #skateboard!

I would say patience is important when building a DIY and to not rush anything.

Patience is a virtue for sure, I’m learning that taking my time normally equals better quality
Awesome video. Great tip on keeping it little wet as well as using a good filler. Overall awesome job and a rad spot.

Thanks man! The filler really saved so much concrete & time. Lesson learned was to let it cure a lot longer for sure.

Another good Video, thanks for the tips! Keep Up the DIY vids, im so excited!

@@ZackDowdy what about a little ledge or something Like that? Just a couple of bricks an old stone stuff. The bricks Like a little Wall as the foundation, the stones into it and then much concrete between and on top of those Things! Me and my Friends Just found a old House, perfekt concrete foundation! Would be super cool If you keep Up the nice DIY Videos. And i think when you got the DIY " Basics" then you may could do a little quarter or something. I think everyone would Like that! But- Do what you want! You are the one who is gonna skate it, Not me ( would be hard cause im from Germany) Keep it up- See you!
Good work bro. Awesome job.

Most mortar mix is too much sand to cement ratio. I always mix in plain Portland cement to quickcrete mortar mix. Takes longer to dry, but it’s super pro quality.
Hey man sick video!! Also just wondering how you made your intro? Really curious because I’m trying to make my own intro. Your is almost just what I have in mind

Please guys dont full over man-hole covers, drains or anything else the city needs access to. That is the fastest way to get a spot destroyed. DIY on!🤘🤘

Dont rip that shorts and send it to me!
The problem with your doing is it’s gonna chip at the bottom. Then you’re worse off than you were before you added the crete.

Dill Humpston Little bondo on the bottom & your good, also the liquid concrete is good for bonding the old w/ new. You’re right that it’s a potential issue.

Is there a way to prevent chipping in the first place?
