Reminded me of Rickey from Trailer park boys

For any kids out there. This is honestly a great step to get you comfortable with tools. Working on projects like this when I was kid really helped me later on in life. Built a mini mini half pipe for cheap when I was younger. Neighbors loved me mowing their lawns, but hated me when I didn't need me money for my halfpipe any more lol.

I built a mini ramp in my parents garage using hand tools and making it up as I was going along when I was 13. 17 years later I have a successful carpentry business and have been doing house renovations for 14 years. These are handy skills that you don't realise may help down the line.

how to get free rail: step 1: have a shop with at least 20k worth of tools this tutorial is hilariously misguided, who is this for? professional wood workers who happen to skate? You don't need to do half this stuff. Just screw in some 90 degree braces and then screw in the pipe. Tadaaaah, done

I work at Lowe’s and I will say if you need wood it’s there for free. When big bundles of wood come in they have little 2x3x4s on the bottom so the forklift forks can get under it. They are called different things like “kickers, stickers, etc.” there is usually a giant pallet of it in the back.

I was planning on making a slappy rail similiar to this todag, glad i got to see this method before

Seeing him have so much fun and enjoying himself skating after the work he put into doing the flatbar was so great!!!

you guys are awesome!! never seen ya before today but i love the vibes and it’s dope that as business men you guys can still help out the less fortunate. much love , skate or die 🤟🏼

Thanks for the detailed instruction! This will be my first DIY project! It is also great to see all those tools in action!

This series is beautiful, thanks guys for the ideas!

I loved how easy and cheap it was to make a manual pad thanks to you, I never thought of that but now I have one in my house

Way to really help out the skate community! Most riders can not afford boards let alone obstacles. Great work!

What is it about the sound of a grind that is so satisfying? I've had a lot of fun on PVC but, like you, I like to hear it.

Just built one man, super stoked on it. We added a wooden pyramid shaped bit to help with some of the forces stability straight down onto the 2x6’s. Thanks for sharing these tips.

I have just today made a PVC grind rail, but much worse than the one in this video. However, by taking a 1' by 9' thick MDF plank, propped up on one end by a couple bricks, I have a rudimentary roll-in to roll me into the grind rail... It is all so basic and crap, but I still feel like I have technically started to build a Skatepark in some super junkyard sense, and the thought alone is very exciting and inspiring...

Thanks guys! Watched this video last night and thought to myself, "hey, I have all of that in the garage." Today I have myself a new flat rail. Love it.

Dude I’ve been seeing these videos. After I found out about Keen Ramps and your dyi on making the red transition ramps. You guys are saints I’m going to work on making these hopefully.

this is a really great video. i watched it before, but youtube thrown it up again in my feed. share with your loved ones who skate

My boy was just asking me to build one of these! This video (free info) is why I will purchase from you in the future. Honest company helping other skaters.

This is dope dude. I have plenty of scrap wood in my wood shop and pvc. I'm totally gonna build a rail to skate. Great idea guys.

Awesome! I grew up building skate parks from scratch in 1995 when I was 17. Now I am doing it with my 9 yr olds son.

You guys inspire the hell out of me! Made a couple bits now, just need the British summer back

I've been skating for just about 15 years and I haven't been able to skate in awhile cause of working alot but man I'd love to have another box or mini quarter pipe. I used to be sponsored by my local shop when I lived in Florida and the owner hooked me up with an awesome rail, but I moved to lame ass Tennessee and I couldn't bring the rail. This don't have anything to do with this video but anything skating brings me joy. Also you can go to Lowe's or Home Depot and buy a long metal pipe pretty cheap and extension to it so you can make the legs for the rail. But your idea is great and it works and it's basically free. Good video.

You guys are hilarious 😂 nice video. Plan on building something like this for my kids. Thank you for the ideas

The force due to friction is generally independent of the contact area between the two surfaces. This means that even if you have two heavy objects of the same mass, where one is half as long and twice as high as the other one, they still experience the same frictional force when you drag them over the ground.

I love that you Guys show how to do these things i cant aford ramps or rail but I can skate ramps and rails anyway because of you Guys videos

nah i acctualy respect this company adn channel so much this video just goes to show they value there customers much love 🤎

Giving back to the community.. very noble🙏

I love how you can see the finished product in the back of the truck at the very beginning.

Keep it up guys I never usually comment on videos but I subscribed I like your content keep it up ❤️

I made this, haven't riden it yet but I am stoked on it, gonna use it for snowboarding and skating. Made mine shorter than yalls cuz it was more practical for me but I am so pumped to skate/board this. Thanks guys.

I appreciate y'all helping people learn how to make skate ramps and obstacles etc. Have you considered old bed frames? They make rad coping/rail material of you have a grinder...

the classic ghetto bar. love it. u can do this with metal as welll if u can just drill holes. also shotgun rails work sick with this type frame

i respect what u guys do aa lot over your competition in the states. u guys are doing quality first and care about the skaters. the bigger boys are the ikea of ramps .

That thing would be dope for the snow skate thanks for the ideas

Really enjoyed watching this.

I built this to day, ty!!! I promise l buy something from yall soon.

This is so fun, I'm from Malaysia. Thanks for this video dude

I didn't this project with my son and it turned out awesome ... we found a scrap 10 foot long basketball hoop post and I had two 10 foot 2x6's just sitting in the corner of the garage taking up space. I used that same 30ﾟ angle you suggested in your video and it worked perfectly. I would send you a picture but I don't know where to send them because because you can't attach any pics to these comments.

Dude, i've gotten so desperate, i took apart my trampoline and used the circular frame as a curve rail, it was the perfect height and everything to practice on, and was easy to pop on and off! I love being creative when it comes to inventing pieces to trick off!

so, I've been doing carpentry for like 6 years now and its crazy how you can still pick up little tricks from watching other people. Like if you don't have a table saw the way you made the mark for the table of the skill saw was actually a great idea. I usually always just tried cutting the line by following it with the blade which even though it's not super hard doing it the way you did makes so much more sense.

Showed this to my dad to see if he will help me build this!🤞fingers crossed

Hey, watching you from Ukraine. Thanks for this video!!!

So they came down I used pallets scrap wood left overs and the left over pvc and they helped me build three box rails and two box ramps with ramps on all 4 sides and one with two ramps that ypu can land on two do the box rails. Ot took us maybe 2 hpurs to build it all and they was so happy. I was a poor military airforce brat kod in 90s and early 2000s amd had to male our own rails and ramps out of anything lol.

I've made a rail outta PVC. The white pvc is good for slides 50 -50 the trucks dig in some but if you wax it. It grinds

Hey guys, I just made a PVC grind rail this afternoon! I watched this video maybe 2 weeks ago, and I finally pulled my thumb out and did it! It is a complete mess compared to yours, the 2 x 4s were more like 1 x 3 than 1.5 x 3.5 and super flimsy materials designed to line the inside of a loft to hold insulation in, but the PVC pipe took a full truck impact from a Caveman so it seems to work! I didn't have a good way to clamp and I don't have any table tools, so I had to wrestle the pipe and beams together with my legs like I was climbing a rope. Also, I didn't have a good way to angle cut the beams all the way along, so I just cut a flat 4" into one end of the beams, and put a roughly 1 foot beam of 2.4 under them, screwing it in so that it looks like an original-style Crucafix (T shaped). Since the legs are only on one end, the whole Pipe bends down a little when you land on, and as the Beams are only screwed in at the ends and not the iddle, they bow outward in the middle as the pipe flexes down, but honestly it feels pretty solid still and it sort of feels like a ribcage which breathes as you put your weight on and off it. I sort of like the effect. Best part, I used all materials from old housework projects which were necessary to comply with safety standards anyways, so technically I did not spend a single penny specifically to complete this project! _____ Thank you so much for this video. I basically knew everything you instructed already, thank to 'Design Tech' (my era's UK equivalent to the common US term 'Shop Class') but the reminders were invaluable. Furthermore, the most valuable part of all - inspiration. Your friendly natures, and the way you hang and have chill fun together while working, really inspired me more than anything. Ripe old age of 30 and I have made my first skate obstacle with actual tools and effort. Thank you so much.

You guys are sick, subbed

Love this idea

Definitely would like to know how to make a DIY pole jam.

If you guys used bolts to mount the rail, you could replace it in the future, or have different diameters to switch out, different shapes. Even upgrade it to metal in the future. This is pretty great, wish I still skated but I'm too old now.

You can also skip the PVC and get some old chain-link fence top bars from someone/somewhere.

For the pvc pipe u can also use the trampoline pools

I'm starting to build a manual pad/grind box along with a grind rail. Eventually I want to build a mini ramp. My local skatepark is laughable so I'm just gonna start building and buying stuff for my house.

I would say not for free. Most kids don't have trucks, cars, or power tools. However I do likey the resourcefulness you gave to kids. Right on
