You could make a city notice School bus yellow/Mac & Cheese color sign down there that looks 100% legit that the city workers assume is real on not leaving trash down here that said Trash, pack it out or a potential of a Maximum $100 Fine by the city. Then use some kind of caulking or mortar for attaching the sign to the wall. A sign like this will get the people who are just leaving crap not the bottle stuffers though, to comply but not everyone but mostly those who just leave crap here. People would not want to leave trash if they know they could get up to $100 fine. Signs like this are easy to have custom made on Etsy that look like the standard official sign that have the Black border black words and golden yellow color behind it using the proper material for the sign.
I feel like there are more options. Place some trash cans near by maybe chain to a tree. could put a recycle can next to it with a sign that says the money from recycling will go to the park get other people involved in maintaining the space as a community effort make it official mask out a mural for the DIY LIZARD DIY then paint on some basic rules and expectations out idk i would explore community interaction maybe, i mean if its a bust its a bust. gotta call coal coal not a diamond
Ask a local homie who knows how to handle a spraycan and make some homerules for the spot on a wall, maybe that could help deal with the trash leaving behind
Can’t stop a few not cleaning up but please know you are teaching many more how to take responsibly for their own mess!!!! Your work is not in vain… I don’t even skate but appreciate your content and efforts from here is AUS…. ✌️
Id love to see you build up in that mountain spot again. I know it was a hassle to get to though. People here just like seeing you build bro, no one expects you to camp this spot for the next 10 years
This is why we cant have anything nice. But seriously, Sit on it for abit, Its better to come back with bursts of enthusiasm then a slow decline of care, These things take time and passion is special, Don't lose it.
Your skate community is lucky to have someone as dedicated as you. It’s upsetting to see how a few bad eggs can spoil your time. Either way you should be proud and hopefully the skate spot will be around when you’re ready to return. God Bless and keep up the great work!
I haven’t started yet but I am getting ready for my own backyard DIY and I am taking alot of inspiration from you and your videos. I live down a private dirt road so there is zero cement around me, I have no other options lol.
I built dirt jumps next door to my house when I was a kid and can totally relate. The amount of work that goes in for people to trash it is a motivation killer like no other. Ur best bet is to find a new spot unfortunately.
I'm always picking up trash when I'm at the beach. It is a rare occasion when I see other people doing the same. There are a few of us out there, but not enough of us out there.
Don't give up man I love these videos, I think that spot is very cool but a little restrictive, it's thin, it's drainage so a bit risky blocking it. I'd love to see you find a new spot with more options of what you could build and make something super special. Maybe you could look into buying a quarter acre or something and make something from scratch, start your own mini skate park! Love your videos man.
Man what a bummer for people to treat spots like that.. your positive energy is so contagious brother and so appreciated, keep going, all your hard work and everything you do and your DIY is sooooo sick! Wish more people were like you!
A lot of people are not fortunate enough to learn respect and credibility as they mature... Maybe you could put up a little sign there to let them know? I printed a note and coated it to glue onto a ramp I built for our local, and I think we are mostly good with people taking care of it. Honestly though, you could find something with better flatground
Skateboarding is such a blessing in that you view the world through a different lens. Envisioning and creating these spots takes a lot of effort and passion. With the good, there always comes the less passionate. The saying that goes something like nobody will take care of something if they didn't work for it applies. I admire your passion and hope to see you further your development as a DIY builder and would emplore the consumers to be respectful and pick up after themselves.
Those bike tires are holding on for dear life 😂. This spot is incredible!! I’m sure everyone in your community appreciates the effort you’re putting in. I’ve enjoyed watching it
Locals step up! This guy has built you something special. Something unique and fun and yours! Step up and maintain this creation. If you skate it and you enjoy it. Clean it. Hell choose a day of the week and that's your day. M, T, W, Th, F, S, Su. 7 people. Thats all its gonna take. Hell 5 people. Hell 3. Someone help him keep this beautiful place functioning. When I go hiking a trail in my area of NY I keep an eye out for random trash. You can do the same here. Some people suck and will always suck don't let them ruin this guys spot! The power is yours. Much love to Zack! Spot is sick!
For real. It does suck that most people dgaf. I used to be a stage manager, and I would be tossing water bottles all day everyday. Someone asked me once why I was cleaning and I told them that the workspace was my living room and walking by trash instead of leading by example wasn't helping the situation. Next thing I know, that person is tossing trash and the cleaning bug spread. So even though most people were still leaving shit everywhere, at least there were a few people on my side keeping it down. Eventually, the average person looks to place something on a clean ledge and maybe they figure out what a trashcan is.
You could talk with garret ginner if you do decide to continue. He makes rails and maybe he can donate a couple? He’s donated rails to local skateparks before. You can anchor them directly to the concrete.
I don't skate, I don't live near you, but I have really enjoyed this video series. I love seeing people create things, especially for the communal enjoyment. I hope people come together to keep this spot accessible. Hope you document whatever you create next!
Bro you built it! Make a park rules list on the wall, if people wanna skate it and have something to use there will be people who will uphold it! If not just focus on building a park at the mountain spot from your previous videos! I love watching these and seeing you skate the end result, do what makes you happy at the end of the day brother!
Inside a drainage tunnel would be awesome... cool in the summer ... harder for random people to find you could find the perfect one to drop supplies down
Hate to see this series go! It's been a such a satisfying journey to see your craftyness and creativity with this spot. Much respect to you Zack! DIY OR DIE!!
If you figure out how to get people to take care of this beautiful work of art...don't tell anyone, write a book and share it. Great job. Super inspired by every video!
The "snout" is called a cap. Most known is the fat cap, that outputs the most paint at a time, then you have the skinny cap that is more a precision cap, making a small dot, and is perfect for like outlines or highlights. There are several other types like chisel that makes more like a straight line you can adjust the angle off. Since the late 90's evolution of caps have been slow, but in like the last 5-10 years we have seen more crazy stuff come along like the double cap and the pin whole to mention just a few. Pro tip that most people will benefit from is that there tends to be some paint left in the cap after painting a bit, so it'd good practice to purge the paint from the cap by holding the can upside down, so it will just spray air until there is no more paint coming out, that way it will not dry up inside the cap. Like taking a piss the day after a romantic encounter, the spray might deviate from it's common steady stream, or even worse with a spray can, not even work at all. Seems like clear coat is a bit different tho', as usually the clear coat cans will not purge for some reason anyway, however I don't know why. Many manufacturers will make caps of different sizes or genders so graffiti painters will not steal the caps from the store to get different cap types, however now artists can usually buy more caps where they buy their paint, and because they are usually like 1-2$ for tiny baggy of caps, it doesn't seem to be a big problem anymore, like it was in the late 80's and early 90's. Fun fact, the spray can is a Norwegian invention. Skateboarding loves you too Zack. Being an adult in the skateboarding community is not always easy, what sometimes helps me mentally is remembering what kind of junk I was dealing with when I was a skateboarding little jerk back in the days, raising kids like that and learning them about respect and stuff is a super ungreatful task, but being a good example is on it's own super respectable
the more u build and the more perfect it is the more people will trash it only 2 options for me is either gate keep or build 1 or 2 obstacles spread out at different spots
I can't agree more with some of the other comments. Talk to a guy that can handle a spray can and make a beautiful piece of art that lays out the park rules. You shouldn't have to write it down for people to not be idiots, but I bet you'll see a big difference regardless. Love the channel man, keep grinding.
I go a couple of DIY parks and I'm always expecting to sweep and clean first..if it were a crap spot... nobody would be there...no trash..... it just is what it is 👊
I feel you bro! I built many wood and concrete obstacles for skating I can honestly say a lot of skaters and non skaters really don't give a shit. It's all about the moment and after that moment is gone and they're gone the garbage remains 🤬 Carry in carryout! Chalk it up to laziness.
My suggestion, and it sucks that it'd be on you to do this, is to leave a trash can of some kind down there. If people see a place to put the trash, there's a much higher chance they'll use that. It would still be on you to bag the garbage away, but it would at least be a big step forward
As sad as it is I think you have to neglect the spot for a while. Don't pick up any trash don't sweep don't clean up. At a certain point it'll get to where if someone wants to skate it they'll have to clean it to be able to. If you go down there occasionally and clean no one else will because they won't have to because they know you will do it for them.
I want to build my own miniramp somewhere inspired by this series. And dirtbowl with small pumptrack. It seems its possible to use AI to find possibly suitable location, but haven't got around to test it yet. Perhaps something worth experimenting...
It was tough to get a good look at the dirt, but could it be possible that the ditch just flooded severely and washed dirt over everything? Or maybe it was just dirt washing over the edge of the ditch from directly above the ramps. Were there any storms while you were gone? It seems like it naturally settled rather than somebody throwing/blowing it on. Idk, or maybe that's just me trying to hang on to hope for society lol.
You built your spot in a yard, Somewhere graffiti artist go to do big pieces or murals. Theyve been there alot longer garunteed. you wont change the rules of the yard by building a spot there. Its unfortunate but you just have to deal with it. the only i can think is getting more builders involved to maintain it but that would basically mean making the spot public. regardless you wont get rid of the graffiti
its happens at most diy spots, the people that have no skin in the game, no time or money invested ,the type of people that have never built anything ever an don't contribute in general ,they just show up. I had a lad collecting money for a diy I started wit all my own money an never asked anyone to give me money ,,I just did it. but this lad made a go fund me an just kept the money for himself ,,funny thing is he works at local skate shops think he would know better. he's so lucky I didn't kick his head in
probably a good thing for the channel to take a break too. i think as a viewer you could see you were getting burnt out on it and ends up being a hard watch. so get something fresh and exciting and the content will benefit from it too.
It sucks but that's the way it is. Tragedy of the commons, you can't go fixing up a public spot and make it into a nice spot to hang out and then be surprised when people start hanging out there and totally ruin it. People suck. Do this on your own property and just let your friends skate it, 'cause shitty people mean we can never have nice things stay nice. If you do want to continue doing nice stuff like this you got to maintain a total sense of detachment for how other people treat it, because they're never going to respect it the way that you do.
Someone else already said it but make a list of “rules” on the wall or get a graffiti homie to paint up a list. Could also bring down a trash can and see if people start using it
Again, as I have asked in previous videos, why don’t you have some of your homies go and help you with the builds ? Seems like it would be more fun, less time consuming, and faster builds if you did
Man, it sucks that people can't keep it tidy. As someone who has a DIY spot at a short distance from home, I can't understand the behaviour. So ungrateful :/
Seems like you should take a break on the build portion of it, hope to see some skate footage though ill try to Donate soon but it would be nice to see some others help the DIY..
The trash might be from homeless people, including the dirt. Not saying it’s not skaters at all, but what skater leaves a broken bike or throws dirt on obstacles.
You just got to know half these bums who are going to come to that spot are not going to respect how much hard work you have been putting in to that spot they will leave there trash garbage etc no one cares and has no respect these days so once u learn to deal with that and know u will have to clean it every time you go then it won't bother you as much

Place some trash cans near by maybe chain to a tree.
could put a recycle can next to it with a sign that says the money from recycling will go to the park
get other people involved in maintaining the space as a community effort
make it official mask out a mural for the DIY
LIZARD DIY then paint on some basic rules and expectations out
idk i would explore community interaction maybe, i mean if its a bust its a bust. gotta call coal coal not a diamond
Ask a local homie who knows how to handle a spraycan and make some homerules for the spot on a wall, maybe that could help deal with the trash leaving behind
Carve onto the wall, the 10 Commandments for da park
get some of that anti spray coating to put over it as well so it doesnt just get written over 🤘
Yeah that might be even better, to stop people from tagging on top@@Baked_brown_dude
i agree
Can’t stop a few not cleaning up but please know you are teaching many more how to take responsibly for their own mess!!!! Your work is not in vain… I don’t even skate but appreciate your content and efforts from here is AUS…. ✌️
Much love!
Appreciate what you've done for your community, sometimes other people's kids suck
You rule dude. Don't let the litter bugs get you down we like watching you build
Id love to see you build up in that mountain spot again. I know it was a hassle to get to though. People here just like seeing you build bro, no one expects you to camp this spot for the next 10 years
I'm working on that spot, more coming soon
This is why we cant have anything nice.
But seriously, Sit on it for abit, Its better to come back with bursts of enthusiasm then a slow decline of care, These things take time and passion is special, Don't lose it.
Exactly, hopefully that's the case
No pressure brotha. Gotta do what’s best for you, if you feel pressure to go down there then don’t. Love all the videos you’ve put out thus far!
Appreciate it man!
Never stop. Never quit. That's the casual DIY game. Keep it going an heads up mate. Cheers

I'd love to purchase some land!
I’ve seen cheap “acreage for sale” in northern Cali or in the so cal desert
@@ZackDowdy gotta be careful though, then you'd need insurance for people to come skate it. gets costly quick without some way to monetize it.
Man what a bummer for people to treat spots like that.. your positive energy is so contagious brother and so appreciated, keep going, all your hard work and everything you do and your DIY is sooooo sick! Wish more people were like you!
Totally get it, hundreds of hours and soooo much money and time. Just for randoms to trash it will crush anyone
A lot of people are not fortunate enough to learn respect and credibility as they mature... Maybe you could put up a little sign there to let them know? I printed a note and coated it to glue onto a ramp I built for our local, and I think we are mostly good with people taking care of it.

Papa Dowdy teaching the kids common decency and respect. Someone had to do it lol

Get someone to tag a “lizard diy rule set” on the wall somewhere. At least a little extra reminder to pick up after yourself
spray paint rules on the ground real big.
1. clean up after yourself
2. preserve the space
3.dont be a dick
The world needs more people like you bro. Thank you for doing what you can!
Especially digging the background music this episode. Very endless summer
I don't skate, I don't live near you, but I have really enjoyed this video series. I love seeing people create things, especially for the communal enjoyment. I hope people come together to keep this spot accessible. Hope you document whatever you create next!
I'm going to miss this spot. It's amazing how much hard work went into it. It's a proper little skate park. Your awesome zach🙌
Bro you built it! Make a park rules list on the wall, if people wanna skate it and have something to use there will be people who will uphold it! If not just focus on building a park at the mountain spot from your previous videos! I love watching these and seeing you skate the end result, do what makes you happy at the end of the day brother!
sometimes you need those "gatekeepers" and locals to enforce the rules to keep the spot going. the locals need to step up.
Inside a drainage tunnel would be awesome... cool in the summer ... harder for random people to find you could find the perfect one to drop supplies down
Love the channel and your projects. Go have fun brada. I'll be watching whatever vids you make. Cheers
Cool seeing all the stuff you've made after it's been used and worn in.
Hate to see this series go! It's been a such a satisfying journey to see your craftyness and creativity with this spot. Much respect to you Zack! DIY OR DIE!!
Looks bangin my man! Good work Zack
A series of random, small individual spots in places would be cool, I think it would also keep things exciting for you
If you figure out how to get people to take care of this beautiful work of art...don't tell anyone, write a book and share it. Great job. Super inspired by every video!
Rad spot Hopefully word will get round to keep it clean.
Burnout is very real, no worries!! Do what you gotta do, we'll be here with you!!

Awesome spot man!!!
Keep a spare tube on your bike. Save you from walking it back! Keep up the great work !
the more u build and the more perfect it is the more people will trash it only 2 options for me is either gate keep or build 1 or 2 obstacles spread out at different spots
Ok you did put the trash can down there nice .. love you bro keep the fire 🔥
If I was wealthy I'd pay Zack to come spend a few weeks in my town building DIY spots, lol. Amazing work.
I can't agree more with some of the other comments. Talk to a guy that can handle a spray can and make a beautiful piece of art that lays out the park rules. You shouldn't have to write it down for people to not be idiots, but I bet you'll see a big difference regardless. Love the channel man, keep grinding.
I go a couple of DIY parks and I'm always expecting to sweep and clean first..if it were a crap spot... nobody would be there...no trash..... it just is what it is 👊
You rule!
New spot missions ahead !
Yes new vidéo
i remember when you built the first ramp, damn its been a while
I feel you bro! I built many wood and concrete obstacles for skating I can honestly say a lot of skaters and non skaters really don't give a shit. It's all about the moment and after that moment is gone and they're gone the garbage remains 🤬 Carry in carryout! Chalk it up to laziness.
Hell yeah, keep skateboarding criminal!
Is your father David Spade?!
I think you are doing a great job. take a new place and then everything you learned in the first place you do in the new one. Will be good
Very understandable. Almost like all of your work and effort goes unappreciated by the community you built it in
Many hands make light work🌟
Use all the garbage for filling and build more stuff
It would be cool to see a few gorilla street spot builds. Those are always so creative
GREAT VIDEO ! 🤘🤪🤘❗️
My suggestion, and it sucks that it'd be on you to do this, is to leave a trash can of some kind down there. If people see a place to put the trash, there's a much higher chance they'll use that. It would still be on you to bag the garbage away, but it would at least be a big step forward
Love ❤you and what you do 🙏god bless brother 💪✌️boneheads pick up after yourselves 👍
As sad as it is I think you have to neglect the spot for a while. Don't pick up any trash don't sweep don't clean up. At a certain point it'll get to where if someone wants to skate it they'll have to clean it to be able to. If you go down there occasionally and clean no one else will because they won't have to because they know you will do it for them.
blown spots are blown spots. time to move on until the spotlight passes
I want to build my own miniramp somewhere inspired by this series. And dirtbowl with small pumptrack. It seems its possible to use AI to find possibly suitable location, but haven't got around to test it yet. Perhaps something worth experimenting...
Love to hear that
i understad Bro,I'm working on my first spot now.thank you Sir for the video
If you build and put all the work for you and someone else doesn’t RESPECT it enough. YOUD APPRECIATE IT IF IT WAS JUST YOU!
I appreciate you in my own mind...
HOME DEPOT HAS PALLETS OF "BROKEN" BAGS THAT USUALLY COST 1-5 DOLLARS A PALLET. SHOULD HELP YOU SAVE MONEY
It was tough to get a good look at the dirt, but could it be possible that the ditch just flooded severely and washed dirt over everything? Or maybe it was just dirt washing over the edge of the ditch from directly above the ramps. Were there any storms while you were gone? It seems like it naturally settled rather than somebody throwing/blowing it on. Idk, or maybe that's just me trying to hang on to hope for society lol.
You built your spot in a yard, Somewhere graffiti artist go to do big pieces or murals. Theyve been there alot longer garunteed. you wont change the rules of the yard by building a spot there. Its unfortunate but you just have to deal with it. the only i can think is getting more builders involved to maintain it but that would basically mean making the spot public. regardless you wont get rid of the graffiti
No good deed goes unpunished.
Put a trash can down there brosef .. maybe that can help some 🤷
Milk crate , bottom cut out. Apply to wall, line with trash bag and fill , Repeat
Trash can with plastic bags - trash sign 🪧
Don’t smoke crank and leave trash at the local diy!
Love it
The can has the fan tip
U need a diamond grinder to smooth that out
its happens at most diy spots, the people that have no skin in the game, no time or money invested ,the type of people that have never built anything ever an don't contribute in general ,they just show up. I had a lad collecting money for a diy I started wit all my own money an never asked anyone to give me money ,,I just did it. but this lad made a go fund me an just kept the money for himself ,,funny thing is he works at local skate shops think he would know better. he's so lucky I didn't kick his head in
can you start building diy at Linda Vista? In the empty space between the small pool and the kicker to kicker gap thing.
Haha that would be cool
We can't have nice things because people cant be respectful. That is sad... but fuck them. Time well spent bro, thanks for the content ✌✌
yeah i built 2 skate ramps inspired from these videos too but i didn't video the process
Hell ya!
Sick shades! Where can I order those from?
Is there any signage to instruct the savages on maintaining the spot?
probably a good thing for the channel to take a break too. i think as a viewer you could see you were getting burnt out on it and ends up being a hard watch. so get something fresh and exciting and the content will benefit from it too.
It sucks but that's the way it is. Tragedy of the commons, you can't go fixing up a public spot and make it into a nice spot to hang out and then be surprised when people start hanging out there and totally ruin it. People suck.

Someone else already said it but make a list of “rules” on the wall or get a graffiti homie to paint up a list. Could also bring down a trash can and see if people start using it
All the dirt looks like it’s just from a big storm?
Again, as I have asked in previous videos, why don’t you have some of your homies go and help you with the builds ? Seems like it would be more fun, less time consuming, and faster builds if you did
❤
Zack what’s up seen you skate at WSVT quite a few times, Can i get a hint on where this Diy is ?
Man, it sucks that people can't keep it tidy. As someone who has a DIY spot at a short distance from home, I can't understand the behaviour. So ungrateful :/
Spray paint no trash!
Spray paint guide lines respectfully
People suck. I'd be sick of it too.
You tata,my deserve the respect you are not getting. People suck! Get it together Gen Z!
Have any of you guys actually been there yet?
Seems like you should take a break on the build portion of it, hope to see some skate footage though ill try to Donate soon but it would be nice to see some others help the DIY..
The trash might be from homeless people, including the dirt. Not saying it’s not skaters at all, but what skater leaves a broken bike or throws dirt on obstacles.
A lot of Ghetto kids in the area
You just got to know half these bums who are going to come to that spot are not going to respect how much hard work you have been putting in to that spot they will leave there trash garbage etc no one cares and has no respect these days so once u learn to deal with that and know u will have to clean it every time you go then it won't bother you as much
