dude that board rack on yer bike is the highlight of this vid for me. cant believe i never even searched for one. ive just been strapping it onto my front pizza rack. works fine but thats where my little doggie hangs out.
So sick! Another thing to think about is utility lines will sometimes be buried under sidewalks or on the side of roads. If anyone is thinking about doing this, either don't dig deep or be extra cautious because these lines aren't always marked
Your DIY videos are my favourite. No shame in saving the trick for another time when you are feeling more confident. Maybe film a “road to pole jam” video where you build up to it using smaller ones and then go back to the one you built for redemption.
Thanks for posting this, skateboarders often forget that making new spots for skateboarding is as important as learning new tricks, especially when making new spots are unlocking new tricks. The least that I can do here in China is to carry a rub brick and wax in my backpack to unlock some places in my neighborhood and around my area. Surely whole crew can do much more.
If it does break you can always back up your car into the yellow pole. Or just send it for the double jam!!! 🎉 love the vids man, love from the uk, you got me into diy spots!!!! ❤
Zack, This is street art. As with all artists, your work is always a work in progress. Only you can perceive the imperfections. Therefore, you’ve done well. As I’ve mentioned before, people can talk endlessly, but until they create something of their own, it’s just idle chatter.
no let down at all man, pole jams are scary af i think! lol awesome vid though, the diy stuff is a lot of fun to watch. what was the crack filler that you used at the front of the pole? looks very easy with a caulk gun and little clean up
following your channel is not just great for insights and info, but its also so inspiring on so many levels. You are freaking awesome and original, quite gnarly and incredibly chill, keep on rocking my friend. Much love 2 you straight from Brazil!
this is one of the best spots you've made. it sounds really cool and solid when you're hitting it and since all anyone can really do on a polejam is clear it, it makes sense for it to be a challenge.
Great video. I was also wondering why you didn’t dig a little for the back part, I understand it would make it more mellow, but more sturdy. Good job at knowing your limits too, skaters often struggle with letting go of a trick after trying for so long, the problem is you’ll be tired, therefore you’re more prone to injury, which is not good for your skating.
Yeah, It's kinda steep.. Totally agree..🤔The angle towards the top could use be a bit lowering, which obviously would allow better or atleast more flow off & onto the pavement..🙂
That happened with a rail I built, my friend told me the height to make it and said it would be easy. Turns out he was wrong and we both were not ready for it and i had to lower it lol
Let down? Get fk'd your a frikkin champ, building spots, facing fears, thrashing till hurtin .. doesn't get more legit. Only fools sacrifice a future of more skate for a one way ego trip!
I've never found a good pole jam or done one but with that said seems like The technique would be act like you're jumping over the pole instead of riding up it and let the pole push the board up onto your feet. It's always seemed to me like it's more of a wallie than a grind. But again this is advice from somebody who's never done the trick and I'm aware there's a stereotype about that person
sure, if you hit it with your car, maybe. 😅 also, im pretty sure Zack doesn't like blatantly destroying property. adding something you brought yourself is a bit different than breaking stuff that is already there so you can skate it. not to mention, that those yellow safety/barrier poles are usually filled with concrete, and are not always hollow. but yes, if that pole were leaning, it would be a good pole jam.
Keep building Dowdy!!! 🤟🏽🛹

Made by Fairdale, it rules!

The Dowdy Nuzzi plan is sooo chill and cool. Love it.

I think concrete will crack less when poured thicker. As in digging out more earth to make pour at least 4 inches thick.

Great man
Ooookay, I’ll start building some DIYs too.
Do it!
Dang it Dowdy! 😂
What’s the name of that tube of white/blue stuff you used to patch the crack in the run up?
great vid!
Love this shit dude! Peak content
Decent Pole jam spot!!! #jamSesh
huuge respect!
Where can I get that skate rack on your bike?
nice broo! subbing!
Saw this on ig!
Rainbolt when he’s 45 and takes up skating
That happened with a rail I built, my friend told me the height to make it and said it would be easy. Turns out he was wrong and we both were not ready for it and i had to lower it lol
Homie, put a tight mesh in the crete to avoid the cracking and splitting

Your not wrong though it's like an invisible ollie
best vids
🙌🛹🚧💯
Nuzz Dowd respect ✊🏽
perfect pole was already at the spot coulda just banged it down or backed a truck into it
Kick it over, dig down a foot and re-set it
Bro that's what I was thinking about!!! Maybe it is worth to spend half an hour doing it and jam it like a hell of a times.
@@marceugeni Might have hit that in my 20's but I'd get wrecked on that now I'm 40
@@willblackett4709 me too man!! 43!!!
Let me know when it falls over
Could you not bend that yellow pole into a pole jam?
sure, if you hit it with your car, maybe. 😅

wtf are you smoking my guy? thats for vehichles to hit and withstand impact.go make a video of you trying to bend it and tag me
@@mikayla_collie truck and chain
@@zacharbell ok? I'm obviously not saying it cant be done. 😅
Mikayla said it perfectly
Is this dude supposed to be doing this
Don't give up your day job.
