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.

Roll up the side to a fs crooked grind shuvit off the end

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!

That’s a great multipurpose obstacle; probably my favorite out of all of your builds so far.

Awesome video, and really cool spot idea. Would love to try something like this.

We appreciate everything you do man👍🏼

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! 💪💥🔥🤘

Such a cool build. Still love watching your videos, always DIY content at its best!

Dowdy you did it again an amazing vid man 🔥🔥

I love it. It's small, diverse and I imagine it's great to learn stuff on. Awesome build that really anyone could do. I think I'm gonna try to create a really interesting spot this summer, this got me quite inspired :)

Hey Zack, new subscriber here. That spine looks fantastic! Looks like a lot of fun also for not very skilled skaters like myself. I think that's going to be my first DIY project, I want to skate it so bad! :) Do you think it works as a kicker ramp too? Thanks for the content, keep it up! Cheers from Germany.

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.

the few dislikes are from Jamaicans who thought it said "dis i like"

Dowdy, on one side I noticed u used a mix of motar and the white bag of quick crete, but the next day u used the yellow bag with any mix, is it better just to use the yellow bags on concrete mix? I’m tryna get into sum DIY’s in my city

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

You need to get Sean here would be sick if he could build some stuff here !!

Sick

The spot looks super rad, I wanna skate it, where’s it at?...Is it in Los Angeles?

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.

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

Handyman Dowdy on Town

how do you find all these flat ground places to build/skate on

Sicc built

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?

Job well done 🤙🏽 Where were you getting water from?!

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 жыл бұрын

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

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 :)

what do you do for a living ?

nice

Helll yah brother

How many bags did you use ? , what poundage ? 60 , 80?

you fucking rock man. Seriously.

How many ,of what, bags did it take to build that up???????

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

Recycling is important X)

I found this spot like a week before it got leveled.

Wouldn't cover it with plastic keep it wet? I know that is common practice.

How do you get away with this? Dude

Do you do it with free will or need permission

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

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

clean your tools when youre done building!

Dremel tool sponsor. Lol

Can property owna sue you making spot

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 .

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!

They are not curbs, there parking blocks.

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 😉
