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.
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.
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 :)
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! 💪💥🔥🤘
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.
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.
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.
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
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 :)
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
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!
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 😉
What tricks do you want to see on the spot!?!
Slappy Noseslide to any flatground trick would be sick!

All of them
Nose truck tranfers. A tiny no comply.
Roll up the side to a fs crooked grind shuvit off the end

That’s a great multipurpose obstacle; probably my favorite out of all of your builds so far.
Same! Thank you
You've been killing it recently with the videos man, keep it up!
Much love AJ!
i cant help but rewatch all of your diy videos, you are like diy skate god dude
Seriously looks like a ton of fun, those plants popping out gives the spot a phenomenal touch!!! Thanks for the inspiration!!!
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
Big Al is my the homie! The most ripping nurse I know
So dope!! Video coming on his MRI job soon!
looks like such a fun obstacle! little storage holes on the side for some wax too!
Love your daily uploads! Don’t burn yourself out though!😂
You should do a how to build wallride spot soon.
Really appreciate all you do Zack, thanks and best wishes from the U.K
Thanks for watching!
been watching these construction videos endlessly, they're so useful and calming to watch
Al is so sick
Such a cool build. Still love watching your videos, always DIY content at its best!
Thanks man, Skate or DIY!
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!
Man's logging the hours, respect!

@@MaLaCoiD spring st & gateside in La Mesa

Pretty cool brother!!! I know where this spot is! That carnitas spot in the back is 🔥!!
This is so sick
Much love!
how do you find all these flat ground places to build/skate on
Dang might go there today 🙌🏽
Enjoy!
I do not understand how the likes are so low compared to views ! Such good videos and such a mellow dude
Just skated there it is so fun and learned so many new tricks on it
Dremel sent you a tool!? Sick
Soooo stoked!
Diy is like couple streets down from me and Dallas is to far so this is epic
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 ruclips.net/video/v_Sy31D4Hm0/видео.html
Fixed up some banks today and screwed around ruclips.net/video/UVi6FegAnSU/видео.html
What dude?! Sick build!
Looks super fun
Your vids never disappoint Zach!
the few dislikes are from Jamaicans who thought it said "dis i like"
😂🤣😂
You and Big Al good team
We appreciate everything you do man👍🏼
Good to meet you man! 🍻 cant wait to skate it . Lets diy sometime
Yes loved this! get something to stabilise your talking to the camera for your other videos too. It makes a huge difference
This is badass dude!
Dowdy you did it again an amazing vid man 🔥🔥
building one thx for the inspiration

You need to get Sean here would be sick if he could build some stuff here !!

So sick looks fun as hell
you are a great videographer

love your work man keep it up
Much love Jay
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?
Do you do it with free will or need permission
I noticed you add mortar to your Quikrete mix, what's the purpose of that? Smoother finish? Added strength due to extra Portland?
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
Handyman Dowdy on Town
The spot looks super rad, I wanna skate it, where’s it at?...Is it in Los Angeles?
This diy is better than a lot of city built skateparks
Thank you!
I miss living in La Mesa
Job well done 🤙🏽
Where were you getting water from?!
I typically fill up water buckets at home first
i love your videos
They love you!
Hey Zack! Super nice DIY videos, learnt a lot so far.

Stoked they can help! You got that right, drier mix for the fill & a little more pasty/wet for the top.
Damn I was waiting for the dremel discount code!
Hopefully I’ll get one soon! 😅
You should keep the gravel away from the forms so when you strip it the substrate won’t erode
How many ,of what, bags did it take to build that up???????
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!
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 :)
Sicc built
Love it
How many bags did you use ? , what poundage ? 60 , 80?
what do you do for a living ?
you fucking rock man. Seriously.
Sick
Recycling is important X)
Helll yah brother
Epic
That in north county or south ?
Cool channel by the way like to see the passion it's rad
nice
How do you get away with this? Dude
I found this spot like a week before it got leveled.
Yeeessssss

clean your tools when youre done building!
Dremel tool sponsor. Lol

Can property owna sue you making spot
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
Wouldn't cover it with plastic keep it wet? I know that is common practice.
Pretty cool brother!!! I know where this spot is! That carnitas spot in the back is 🔥!!
