What tricks do you want to see on the spot!?!
Slappy Noseslide to any flatground trick would be sick!
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.
All of them
Nose truck tranfers. A tiny no comply.
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!
I see you posted this 3 years ago and wanted to know the progress in building at the tennis courts?? In my neighborhood there's 3 abandoned courts but they have security posted there and wanted to know if you ran into any issues???
@@Mahmoud_Hassan786 You can find other areas that aren't as populated. I found that tennis court on accident. I was looking for flat ground and I ended up putting a quarter pipe and a fun box. I had to sweep the dirt and kill all the weeds growing in the ground. I was fun for a couple months until I had to move lol I suggest looking on maps to find hidden spots.
You've been killing it recently with the videos man, keep it up!
Much love AJ!
That’s a great multipurpose obstacle; probably my favorite out of all of your builds so far.
Same! Thank you
Love your daily uploads! Don’t burn yourself out though!😂
Dremel sent you a tool!? Sick
Soooo stoked!
the few dislikes are from Jamaicans who thought it said "dis i like"
😂🤣😂
Seriously looks like a ton of fun, those plants popping out gives the spot a phenomenal touch!!! Thanks for the inspiration!!!
You should do a how to build wallride spot soon.
Not usually here this early. Looking forward to this video.
i cant help but rewatch all of your diy videos, you are like diy skate god dude
how do you find all these flat ground places to build/skate on
I’ve been watching for a couple months now contemplating on making my own diy up at this park by my house and you have convinced me 😅
Same
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! 💪💥🔥🤘
Do you do it with free will or need permission
Really appreciate all you do Zack, thanks and best wishes from the U.K
Thanks for watching!
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 :)
Love to hear that!
Such a cool build. Still love watching your videos, always DIY content at its best!
Thanks man, Skate or DIY!
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.
looks like such a fun obstacle! little storage holes on the side for some wax too!
Dang might go there today 🙌🏽
Enjoy!
Al is so sick
Big Al is my the homie! The most ripping nurse I know
So dope!! Video coming on his MRI job soon!
Yo I live right by this diy spot that’s sick
Where?
clean your tools when youre done building!
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 :)
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
Pretty cool brother!!! I know where this spot is! That carnitas spot in the back is 🔥!!

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?
The spot looks super rad, I wanna skate it, where’s it at?...Is it in Los Angeles?
Awesome video, and really cool spot idea. Would love to try something like this.
How many ,of what, bags did it take to build that up???????
These video’s inspire everyone on so many levels. Keep em coming. Much love bruv ✨
I found this spot like a week before it got leveled.
How many bags did you use ? , what poundage ? 60 , 80?
I do not understand how the likes are so low compared to views ! Such good videos and such a mellow dude
Diy is like couple streets down from me and Dallas is to far so this is epic
you fucking rock man. Seriously.
This is so sick
Much love!
Man's logging the hours, respect!
building one thx for the inspiration
Can property owna sue you making spot
What dude?! Sick build!
I miss living in La Mesa
How do you get away with this? Dude
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 :)
Stoked they can help! You got that right, drier mix for the fill & a little more pasty/wet for the top.
what do you do for a living ?
you are a great videographer
Dremel tool sponsor. Lol
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 . Alex, French 43 years sk8ter and builder .
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!
You and Big Al good team
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.
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

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.
Helll yah brother
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.
Love it
I noticed you add mortar to your Quikrete mix, what's the purpose of that? Smoother finish? Added strength due to extra Portland?
Job well done 🤙🏽
Where were you getting water from?!
I typically fill up water buckets at home first
Damn I was waiting for the dremel discount code!
Hopefully I’ll get one soon! 😅
Epic
Sick
nice
Sick
been watching these construction videos endlessly, they're so useful and calming to watch
This is badass dude!
Sicc built
Yes loved this! get something to stabilise your talking to the camera for your other videos too. It makes a huge difference
Oh sick ! Hit that spot a couple months ago can’t wait to check out the new stuff
Where?
@@MaLaCoiD spring st & gateside in La Mesa
You need to get Sean here would be sick if he could build some stuff here !!
Just skated there it is so fun and learned so many new tricks on it
We appreciate everything you do man👍🏼
These videos just get my hyped to skate and even film
Recycling is important X)
Good to meet you man! 🍻 cant wait to skate it . Lets diy sometime
Your vids never disappoint Zach!
Looks like a fun addition to the DIY that popped up by me think got most of the materials on site
Clip from a sick session with some real rippers th-cam.com/video/v_Sy31D4Hm0/w-d-xo.html
Fixed up some banks today and screwed around th-cam.com/video/UVi6FegAnSU/w-d-xo.html
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 😉
*they're
That in north county or south ?
Cool channel by the way like to see the passion it's rad
i love your videos
They love you!
Dowdy you did it again an amazing vid man 🔥🔥
So sick looks fun as hell
Looks super fun
Yeeessssss
poggers
Sick
This diy is better than a lot of city built skateparks
Thank you!
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
Mortar! Sometimes I’ll mix it into the crete the second side I just layered on top & it doesn’t seem as strong.
@@ZackDowdy thank you!
love your work man keep it up
Much love Jay
Wouldn't cover it with plastic keep it wet? I know that is common practice.
