I CAN’T BELIEVE I’M BUILDING A SKATEPARK IN MY HOUSE!!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- We’ve done a lot of backyard builds, from dirt jumps to trails, slopestyle jump and MTB pump tracks. But i never thought I’d get the chance to build my own skatepark at my house. This is a dream project and will be super difficult but insanely rewarding at the end! What features should we build and what should I build on the deck area? A skateboard ramp? Scooters…. Enjoy the build lapse and new build and ride episode!

I think the top deck should be like a 3/4 mini bowl, mini ramp all three walls. This would allow for airs onto the deck going straight back and fakie or 180 back into main park.
100% was i was thinking, wanted a 3/4 bowl on the deck of a ramp my whole life
Bro can’t fakie tho
100%
Exactly my thoughts
exactly what i came to say
Knowing how much you like to try new and different things you should leave the center area open and install anchor points you can fasten features to. That way you could put wheels on a feature, slide it in place and anchor it down, use it for awhile, then change it out.
This is a wicked idea
This would be sick!!
I concur
This will be such a sick setup for training. You'll have a selection of features you can session back and forth endlessly.
This👌
A half bowl at the top would be sick, everything a mini ramp has to offer but can use it as a berm as well to turn around
Came here to say exactly that.
This is it!
This one right here MATT!
Agree
exactly what i came to say
What would be really sick is if you cut a little doorway in the back right corner which you can ride your bike through to some sort of other feature - maybe even dirt. Would extend the space
Hell yeah that’s a sick idea
Also he could still utilise the space that's just outside of the barn, no need to use only the indoor space!
@@i-_-am-_-g1467 true, but he probably doesn’t want it to take up space that’s in the way of the courtyard. Maybe a little flat bank up to the level of the bottom of the park would give more room to bail if you go wide and also ride into the skatepark rather than lift bike up
Could maybe even make the little doorway inside of a ramp/half pipe so that you can air over the gap in the ramp
Dear God don't cut holes in the walls, that whole building is asbestos clad
Maybe make the center features movable/removable to change things up over time. A second cool feature would be an opening out of one of the metal sides that takes you onto some dirt features outside.
literally just copied the first 2 comments lol
With all the space to build and the almost squared shape of the building, i feel like not doing a Squarespace plug is a bit of a missed opportunity here Matt 🤔
Jokes aside, can't wait for the finished result and the fun you guys will have riding this! Best of luck 🚲🔥
Would love to see a mini ramp but there's something to be said about building a bar/sofa area to overlook mad evening sessions. Especially in summer, that would be sick!
I’m with this guy
100%
I agree 100%. Thats what I came here to write. Create a bit of a vibe. Still plenty of room in front for manuals, attempted fakies etc. But then a chill spot against the back wall.
I've never commented on AN video. You can reuse all the ply for a temporary floor. Finish the 1/4s and bank. Make an massive vert wall inline with the bank on the opposite wall. Temporary floor to ride. And go from there. If, after riding, you can fit a center feature. Pull up the ply and put something in. I'm so excited to see what you boys do! LOVE the channel! Legends!
try making one of the ramps have a clear acrylic surface so you can see the inner workings of it while you are riding. also probably test if it is a good riding surface first
for MTB, having faster, bigger jumps is part of what separates them from BMX imo. I think starting out with the whole space as a giant halfpipe would be the way to go. That way, you can start from the top section, and not have to worry about having too much speed.
I like the idea @gandi800 had, of having movable obstacles that bolt down to the floor. Then if you aren't using the full halfpipe, you could pull out any number of smaller obstacles or ramps as you session back and forth.
This
Idk... A mini ramp would be cool, but from the first video I have always seen that top section as a cool chill out area..some sick sofas, the classic redbull mini fridge, banging tunes. You can chill with your mates, recharge and drop in! Sick video as always boys!
Tire Hooks on one wall for the bikes while chilling. 2-3 lockers for the boys to toss their stuff and a big ol sectional for just plush kick back sessions while recharging from that game of skate 🤣🤣🤣
Idea!!!!
Box jump with mellower landing leading into the right quarter, directly next to the box a spine so it could be transferred from box to spine from either take of or landing. Or spine -> box.
Transfers are what will make this park feel awesome in such a small space!
Couldn’t be more stoked on these build series! You guys are living my dream 🫡
Think it’s all of our dreams, we just live through the guys 😂
Can’t wait to see the outcome, but I think you should get Kieran Riley in to help with ideas of the layout and then he can christen it with the flair off the top deck 👌🏻😂
You could cover one of the quarter pipes in clear acrylic, and that way you'd still be able to see the inside of the ramp which looks so cool!
The left corner if you look towards the upstairs, that corner could be like a round bowl corner with a additional wall ride feature to air out the bowl to a wall ride to back into the bowl but the end edge of the bowl could be a quaternary pipe hip type corner so the other way you can 270 it 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
You need to add a "heat box", a small 2/4 person room that is isolated to the max so you can hang a wall mounted heater in there. A chair or two with a isolated window to watch the ramp. Would be so nice on the colder days
I know it’s a long way off , but for finishing touches I reckon you hang some neon signs on the wall. A red bull one would be sick!
For the deck, build a chill area with couches, fridges and heating so you others can hang out aswell there.
Have you thought about insulating the ceiling and external walls? That will help with the echo sounds and stabilize the temperatures if you close the skatepark off.
If you truly want to take this space to the next level, I'd look into acoustical baffles to hang from the ceiling. You can find some really cool styles, and it would make the videos sound way better. Maybe hang a big red bull logo that can absorb sound in the middle? Love the builds and the progressions!
Looks great. You should think about adding more structural support to the floor. Right now the floor beams is supported on the wood screws drilled in the leggs. By adding another legg underneath the floor beam down to the ground most of the weight will be diverted from the screws and it will not be in risk of collapsing.
For sure. Structurally it's pretty poor at the moment.
Plus a couple of hammocks
The frame looks great, put clear polycarbonate on the central bank so you can see your framework through. Selfridges did something similar with Peerless plastics and Peeraguard coatings to stop it getting scratched
Looks insane so much potential you for sure need to build some sort of box jump after the roll in area maybe around a 6ft lip have it nice and steep so the gaps short but you still go high so you don’t run out of room definitely need a spine next to the box jump so you get lots of transfers can’t wait to see what you build
The top deck should be a 3/4's mini bowl. And you definitely need a box jump in the center line of the bank. Then probably a pyramid or an A-frame at the back wall with some ledges across the wallside. Loving this build! Again this will be epic! Much love! Legends!
I think you should build a rainbow adjacent to the big vert wall which then leads into a large right hip in the back left corner and moving into another large hip in the back right corner and a nice little step up back onto the 6ft quarter. An idea for the middle would be a roller with spines on either side for transfers. This room has so much potential!
Matt this is sick love how your straight back into epic stuff just after recovery
you’re *
I'd just make it a chill spot up top. A couch, some TV's, get some speakers put in for the place. A fridge, a tool bench to work on your bike if you need.. etc.. A mini ramp will get old when you have a massive skatepark. I'd do the mini ramp outside and just build an overhang so you have more head room. Once you realize that if you get even a foot of air you'll break your neck on the roof, you'll have wasted time and effort into putting it somewhere unusable and just want to move it anyways. Plus if you put it outside you can actually ride in and out of it...
Also I'd put a few stationary HD cams in a few spots. Not only for insurance reasons but also for filming.
Nice cant wait for this build ! But as a carpenter please put some direct posts under the joists , especially when your putting further structures on top .
put a 8 ft wide resi after the roll in space either side so u can fly back up to deck for new learns makes the most sense and a fun box behind it with a ledge or rail for the bmx jiby days and 100 percent mini ramp up top needs to be done
From the main roll-in, you could build a large spine that can be ridden no matter what speed you have (this could allow you to go really high). Then line the back wall with a quarter that can be aired both ways and have two jump boxes on either side of the spine on the way back.
That spot where u wanted to build a mini 3ft ramp could be a chilling spot with sofas, good view for people to watch u guys pulling off ur incredible tricks, cameras setup on the top deck for good angles etc
In the corner you could build a berm jump in and jump out into the 8ft quarter and then put a quarter below the berm and you could make a piece of plywood to wall ride.
Build a bar.... coffee lounge, xbox area for riders republic, snooker table?
A tech deck skate park, helfare sofas a chill area for the lads on the sesh, Because you'll be between riders dropping in... could have a dj area, smoke screen 🤔 haha.
The ultimate lads spot!
A fancy redbull fridge and a bar with drinks on tap plus cool LED lighting would be sick
On the upper deck you could build a 3/4 bowl. You would have the mini and a wall ride on the back wall with corners to carve.
With the playground, it feels fitting that you should have a title for this new venue...
My suggestion would be to name your barn "The Theatre".
It has everything going for it to become one, not to mention you have the workshop concealed away where surgery will, without a doubt, take place on multiple bikes.
Lastly, I think you should name the top deck area where you mentioned making a mini skate section "Main Stage" 😁 for reasons that I hope are obvious.
Big love matt can't wait to see the ramps boarded & ridden on!
I reckon you should make the main ramp out of clear Perspex so you can see the frame of the ramp and all the hard work!
Also would it be worth putting a damp proof membrane under the floor frame incase or rain and the wood rotting? Buzzing to see the rest of this build 🤙🏽
In full support in having inter changeable features you can bolt down and switch around! Shoutout to whoever’s idea it was but think it’s a damn good one. Ride on!
Looking forward to this! Idea, you could have a spine with a tunnel section so you don't have to hit it and can ride through
Have a look at pitville skatepark in Cheltenham with the small box jump with a quarter hip on it. That would help with change of direction to incorporate other areas of the space. looks so sick!!!!
It's amazing how Big and yet Small something can feel at the same time! The comparison to the size of the Airbag blew my mind...
I think instead of making a middle feature you make a nice big bowl with another deck and features on the far side. Could put like a big vertical tombstone somewhere too
The deck could be used for little grind/stall box, and little quarter, looks short on the outer wall for mini ramp. Or just leave it and see what feels like a good use at the end. Maybe a kit area (full face and standard lids, pads etc for when you want easy access for trying something out your comfort zone) and mini fridge etc
Here’s an idea for the big wall directly across from the quarter pipes, make another quarter pipe but have a rainbow shaped wall ride over it. It would be a massive wall ride but I think you’d have enough speed
In one of the corners make a massive berm that has a deck in the top corner so you can do airs over it
Build a mini lounge/viewing point/sofa chill spot but with room for tricks and dropping in etc
Definitely the mini ramp! Also i agree spine/boxjump. But have like a corner ramp with a giant quarter over on the opposite side that you could jump the boxjump into shooting you into that back wall
I'd build the vert wall up opposite end and ply it all. So basically a half pipe for now. Ride it a few times, get a feel for the flow and speed. Build up from there. Remove ply in the middle, build feature primo.
Definitely need a 90 degree corner wall/berm ride in one of the corners. Whatever youd call it
I think you should put some couches and make the top deck a hangout/guest area that you can also drop in from
Opposite of what you just built, make a pump bump and then a vert wall against the far wall. Then, in the center make a fun box with banks/hips on either side. Next to the far wall do two quarters on both ends with a spine and roller in between.
Mini half pipe up top with a one foot extension on each side so you can hip transfer left or right into the main park area. Left side hip, middle box jump and right side spine with a 1ft deck instead of a double coping. Big quarter all the way along the backside with the left side going up into a vert wall. Right side of the park on the back wall have it turn into a bowl corner back on your self and then have a set of wooden dirt style jumps into a padded wall if you have too much speed from the jumps.
Def have a nice sized spine and right next to it a box jump this way you can transfer from spine to box and ride both features both directions…killer job so far boyssssss keep it up!
Modular is king! Make some epic quarters on the other side with decks and pockets in the back two corners.
I think that the space that hasnt been used would be an awesome space to add a foam pit or a resi. With ben and jamie improving so rapidly, it would be amazing to include it for the sake of their further progression. But good work on what you made already. Looks amazing!
I think a resi jump is a great idea! Foam pit Would take up to much space and be super expensive
You should build a lounge or bar area up on the top platform but leave room to air up and manual back into the skatepark
Maybe include a jump line from the top deck, where you have a berm in the far corner and jump out to the yard where a mini airbag could be placed. Also consider extending some of the ramps into part of the yard if you need some more width?
I think Mini Skate board ramp is the best idea for that deck
super hyped for this! you can do so much with it, skateboarding vids, scooter vids, whatever you do we'll watch it man good looks
Modular foam pit!!!
Put it next to what ever feature you want!!!
Monster bowl in one corner (or a Redbull one) and that idea for a mini bowl up top is cool too! Do it!
Have you thought about closing and putting insolation in the building? Even some tarp could help reduce the wind bite
Rent/buy yourself a framing nailer (paslode gun) and you’ll never look back, you’ll be firing through the wood builds! Stoked on the new space, will be unreal to watch you guys ride in there when it’s done 🤘🏻
Dude! Super awesome so far!! Absolutely yes to the Minny ramp.
Doing a C shaped mini ramp up top is a must
Idea for the deck area: i would build some 2 stage/stories half bowl going all the way arround. That way you could rail out straight in the drop.
The area you had marked as a roll in reminds me of the warehouse level on THPS. You could add another quarter up there along the back wall and then possibly a short kicker that you could jump down to a massive bank. The bank would also give you an easier way to get back up top. I hope that makes sense lol
Edit: I agree with the mini ramp idea. I had one in my backyard as a teenager and I had some of the best times of my life riding it with my friends. I can't wait to see the rest of the build.
The mini ramp would be really fun to watch.
I’m a landscaper and build a lot of deckings, I would probably add more supports to the joists. Just another run half way between the supports that are already there just so it doesn’t start to sag in the middle over time.
Even just having actual timbers under his joists rather than just relying on the shear strength of the two screws into their blocks. Some damp proof membrane under each block will also help with longevity as I'm sure it will get some moisture under there straight into the end grain. Joist hangers would also not go amiss
Sheet the ramps in a clear acrylic so you can still see the skeleton! Would look epic!
A box with a dished deck would be cool in the middle so you could do cool wheel tricks over it also a curved vert wall in the corner would be mint
In the corner to the left of the 8ft quarter, a curved wall ride around the corner of the room could be a cool feature
Matt, you have just out done yourself. This is insane. Can’t wait to see u ride it!!
Build a little quarter at the back of the deck so you can get speed and step down into the bank or for Matt make it easier to land facies
should put a kicker with a foam pit in one of the corners. Also i feel it's tempting to put a feature in the middle of the room but maybe not enough open area to do something with. Maybe a short wooden roller on one of the lanes. Either way it's going to be sick
I did wonder how you were going to invigorate and change the mix. 💥 and here it is. Stunning work.
For the middle feature you should build a spine and roller on the outside 4ft so you can keep a lot of speed into the 4ft wide quarter pipe for transfers and whatnot.
Corner overlip bowl on the far right side next to the 8ft quarter. 3/4 mini bowl for the deck.
Build a warm room with a tarp and space heater for breaks
Also build the spine box to save room on the landing and kicker on landing side, quarter on front but not vert
Could always use a couple sheets of clear perspex over some of your ramps to leave the bare bones of it on show but still have it rideable. Best to do it on a larger radius ramp though as bending it could be tricky. Sure a bit of heat would help it though.
I think transparent flooring on some places to let the skeletal reminiscence shine through in some places would be sick! Love the look too! Like a few transparent stripes on the ramps as floor windows would be epic. Dunno if that would be feasible though. Maybe some sorts of acrilyc or plexiglass would be strong and bendable enough to do the job.
@hitmeupofficialmattjonesvi2455 Reported ;D
Seems like a waste of money for something that sounds cool but really isn't. Plus an area of plexiglass would be slippery as hell
This is absolutely incredible. Living the best life!
hundred percent put a little mini ramp at the top with maybe like a rail or ledge on the back wall. could you use mini bikes up there too
Woah you have got to build a mini ramp on the upstairs section for your skateboard!! Also a spine would be awesome into a vert wall and you could deffo have a jump box on the right of it on the return journey and bowl At least one corner
I think a mini ramp up top would be great but as for the middle of the warehouse a huge central option box would be great. As a 3-4m box, a spine, and step up box one way so it’s a step down coming the other way. Options for transfer galore!!!
I would build a massive hip so you can link lines over to the rear wall of the shed, it also needs a massive bowl corner in one of those shed corners
That top deck needs a mini pump track to whip around and back into the drop in. 💥💣
I’ve been a joiner/carpenter for 30 years and you guys would put a lot of guys to shame, love your channel and enthusiasm, relate to the cold hands had to warm mine up with my Raptor for many years, 😎
Must not be working with great carpenters then, this isn't even upto standard for a basic courtyard deck so far. All well and good to have confidence but they really should have someone with a bit more structural knowledge too
To slow the speed down from the drop in, build a ramp that lands you into a foam pit! Would be fun to see that.
The 8' Quarter on the left might be better half-width with a hip (corner seems like deadspace); you'd be able to straight jump to coping/deck or transfer right into the quarters. Then a quarter on that back wall to give an approach.
The mini ramp is a yes. In the corner to the left of the roll in (the one nearer the back wall) how about one of those half ball shaped things for loads of in and out routes.
A central spine would definitely be the move. Plus on one side if it morphed into a volcano feature it would open up the rest of the park with hips in and out and such
Dude Matt you gotta build the mini ramp on the upper deck like a 3 walled bowl with quarter pipes on every wall and bowl corners to pump around connecting them. That way you can air up on to the upper deck and roll straight into a quarter and do a lil jibby trick or 2 and then air back down into the lower park. I picturing 180 up to fakie bar spin then head straight back in. Or 180 fakie roll to 180 fakie roll to halfcab back in for Ben maybe lol
I love the start of a new build series. So much potential and love not knowing how it’s going to finish. Yes to the mini ramp. Definitely needs a sofa and a decent sound system. I can picture a band playing up there
Deffo need a box jump in the middle after bank, and a spin next to it that leads up to one of the quarters. Can spine transfer to box landing etc, so much potential
Looks awesome but you should put pieces of lumber under your joists as well that supports the weight of the floor! Screws are good for fastening but not supporting weight!
Maybe get a moveable resi.mat to put on the half pipe landing and on a possible future box jump. Looks sick and I agree with other people's suggestions as to make the middle modular which that with the resi will get the most out of the limited space
Our couches up top and make it a sick hangout spot
Sick Matt.
Definitely step up from the quarter and then fakie the top deck and 180 back in
100% put a little wood burner a couple sofas and a tv on that top deck, warm up in between runs
On the loft build a small shack where you can warm yourself up.
