PRO TIP; Wear a REFLECTIVE VEST and dress like construction workers. Nobody will look twice! My buddies and I did this for years fixing up skate spots dressed as road/construction workers. Just wear jeans, boots, regular tshirt, and reflective vest and you're good. I once fixed a spot at a court house/sheriffs office and got away with it in broad daylight. This is how I also get away with doing graffiti, they think I'm cleaning the paint off rather than adding more lol. GOOD LUCK and have fun!
its so funny how you feel like they are about to rob a bank but in reality they are making the area a better place for all walks of life. Skateboarding is beautiful.
Don't mistake what they've done here as a public service. In a year that runway will be so cracked and gnarly it will be a death trap for normal people walking down those stairs. It will need to be fixed at the city's expense. They did it for the spot - which don't get me wrong, I am 100% for - but it is not at all a positive addition to the community.
@@seanylewl look how fucked up it was already, do you think that was safe for the handicapped? they definitely improved it and even if it's only temporary it's still positive. the city was clearly neglecting it already
@@seanylewl thanks for saying that, i think that some people have rose tinted glasses when looking at skateboarding. Do what you gotta do to get the trick, don’t be too much of an asshole, but don’t lie to yourself and others that you’re making an improvement for others. Only time I’d argue that is if a space is used for absolutely nothing then skaters come and make it a spot, that way the area isn’t a waste. That might be the case in this vid
Ship me a free Thrasher-hoodie, or I´ll send this video to the cops! ..No, but seriously. I do the same shit around my hometown. Building small skatespots and obsticles. Try to make them blend in as much as possible so that no one cares. Great video! Very inspiring. Greetings from Norway! :-)
if you look sketchy when doing sketchy shit, people think you are sketchy. If you have work lights, a generator, hi-vis vests and so on, you are just fixing up a trail.
lmao. bro, this isn't rocket surgery. it's pretty simple. step one: get fast set concrete mix. step two: add water step 3: don't get caught hey, completely and totally unrelated, but you wouldn't happen to push mongo, would you?
@@Fausto_4841 wow, so because I was showing some respect to the fact that they took the time to make this video and because I like to write things down for future reference must mean I am an idiot and then try to be a smart ass “ do you push mongo” , understand it’s people like you that make this world 10x times harder for everyone else. Miss me with insults and bullshit-
@@CodyKhaoz getting laughed at makes your world 10x harder? your life must be easy AF. this isn't some hippy commune, you're going to get laughed at once in a while dude.
@@Fausto_4841How bold of you to assume it’s me I was referring to, hippy community huh? Skateboarding is not a hippy community by any means but it doesn’t need some gammer troll to comment on someone else’s comment, going out of your way to try and be little another person, who was simply showing some respect to a video that I and many others found entertaining. Literally no need for you, your comments or anything at all but yet here you are, go play some elder scrolls or something-
And if we use ARDEX instead of BONDO it looks completely normal instead of a sloppy patch of coloured crap. ARDEX Blends in with the concrete and will last forever. 🍻❤
for youtube comment viewers: dont fuck around with fast setting concrete. this is not the regular shit the city uses for sidewalks. inhaling it even a little burns pretty bad so ive personally always worn a respirator or cover your nose, recommend always wear gloves. just dont play around with it, be a professional about it this is not romper room stuff. google quicklime burns.
Commenters saying that these guys are saving the city money and improving the sidewalk are maybe giving these dudes too much credit. They improved the spot for skaters temporarily but that half-assed cement patching with no reinforcing isn't going to last very long until it starts cracking and spalling off. Also they look super sketchy laying concrete in the middle of the fucking night with headlamps lol. Just go to the spot on a Tuesday morning with some reflector vests and hard hats and dirty jeans. Literally nobody will bother you. Cops don't know the maintenance schedule for every sidewalk in the city. Heck, you could even bring a wheel barrow or rent a mixer instead of using whatever the fuck those bags are. Also, those are bags of cement, not concrete. Concrete is a mixture of cement, sand, aggregate, and water.
don't mistake this for a public service. after a few seasons that's going to be even worse than it was, and will cost the city a lot of your tax dollars.
Yeah you don't know what your talking about and they even said in the video they use shifty concrete. Don't try to disguise selfish acts as virtuous community efforts.
so funny to me how skaters are making the places nicer and they still will terrorize us. man so many ideas about how skaters do make the world a better place.
Just do it in plain sight, no one is going to be concerned about construction workers during the day, seeing a bunch of dudes running back and forth with big bags and flash lights in the night is going to look suss as 😂
Ah yes just what every skater wants to do, buying concrete and spending hours on construction work just to be able to skate a spot for a trick that last 2 seconds
it's good for the community and is a great project to do with your buddies or can just come in handy to know how to do later on. a few hours of work is totally worth it to be able to session a spot for the foreseeable future
A trick may last 2 seconds as a clip. But there is so much more to a clip than that. Now they have a spot with a great hilltop view that they can session for hours. Also, imagine how much you could skate that thing if it was right down the street from your house.
Lol, are you going to release a video to help people with Property Damage Charges? Thrashers HOW TO HIRE A PUBLIC DEFENDER WHEN YOU ARE CAUGHT RED HANDED DAMAGING PROPERTY.
it benefits the community and I don't think anyone will give two shits about someone repairing a public sidewalk lol. if you get in trouble I would hope you understood the risks going into it
@@mattfontana why not do both? I have a few full gardens on my property ☺️ hope that makes it up to you and whatever moral high ground you assume you have over randoms on the internet
The amount of time you would put into this you could be updating your resume and/or looking for a job. Try paying your mom a little rent to help with the bills. I mean you're almost 30 and you have no ambition in life. All you do is smoke weed and skateboard. Try co-existing on this planet and making a meaningful contribution to life instead of leeching off of others.

You can get away with a lot with Hi Vis …. Goes for ‘“legal graff walls” too 😏
That's dam good advice tricks of the trade...

Does anyone know where this spot is ?
Yeah it’s in Deez
@@Chilimane what a cheap laugh
i love these
It’s fucking hilarious how skaters have to repave side walks “stealthily” . Even though they are basically saving the city money!

Great guys well done 🙂😎😜
someone have the spot name? swear ive seen this place before
so funny to me how skaters are making the places nicer and they still will terrorize us. man so many ideas about how skaters do make the world a better place.
nicer would have been planting grass and tree not concretre for a rail you can find in every skatapark in stupid murican land
Lol only problem is I never had any money or means to do this when I was ripping at a young age 😄
Let alone to pay the fines and for 'damage' if you get caught.
Tight !
👍🏽👍🏽
Thrasher is #1
hell yea now this is what skateboarding is all about
stealing place to nature you mean? when every skatepark has a rail like that and around there's millions better spots you extra spoiled muricans
I wish I could do this at the USC blocks... Shame what they did to that legendary spot...
All that work to skate that little rail. They should try to do this to get El Toro back up and running so it could be skated
Y’all need to step your game up. Just get some hi viz shirts, a hard hat and some cones and ain’t no one ganna bother you during the day 😂
Yaye
I likes you thrasher
Just do it in plain sight, no one is going to be concerned about construction workers during the day, seeing a bunch of dudes running back and forth with big bags and flash lights in the night is going to look suss as 😂
Provoke The Stoke
Imagine all that work. Then sack on the first trick. 😑
Incredible
Skate and destroy < Skate and do public maintenance for free.
The most punk rock shit ever tbh
lol nice
👊🏿✊🏿☝🏿🙏🏿✔️✔️🙏🏿
👍🏼👎🏼
all this for a pretty standard skatepark' rail
So weird how you have to go undercover to fix the city's infrastructure for free hahahaha
brain spinnin
That is skate life for real. There's no rules, really. Make your own path!

any1 got a pin to this spot?
for a skatepark rail actually nothing special
