Building with Ben: Checking out Ben De Gros DIY Skate Spot

We went up to Vancouver, BC to check out the DIY skate spot that Ben De Gros (The Vancouver Carpenter) has been building up there, and he gave us the rundown of his self built skatepark obstacles.

I was always under the assumption that was his private backyard. Didn’t know it had an expiration date :(

[@facksmasheen]

I always kinda assumed the same, but wondered how he could afford it in one of the most expensive places to live in the world.

[@burger1113]

All good things do, it seems eh

[@MikeRawbertson]

Hopefully will become a reality if we can get him this UA-cam money!!! ❤

[@WilliamC1978]

I thought the same thing!

[@TechLurker]

He should hold his own contest every year invite only, and call it Bens Backyard

[@bakewellspud]

heaven is a tennis court with various ledges and curbs

[@donanti]

The Vancouver Carpenter did it again!

[@didcay2344]

Hell yeah, love watching Ben skate and talk about the little details that normally aren't talked about in skateboarding, very knowledgeable and eager to share his carpentry wisdom!

[@AdjacencyBias]

Same same

[@pablopanesso1057]

I love how he’s not satisfied with any of the obstacles 🤣

[@AdjacencyBias]

it is the skaters curse haha

[@jimmymcgiggles5571]

video should have a million views!! this guy is awesome seems super chill

[@AdjacencyBias]

Couldn’t agree more 😉

[@liam_dawson]

"alot of gratification in having built the obstacles" ! I feel that ! except my dad built the stuff i skated. or i diy'd it with cinder blocks and plywood :) This was an easy watch !

[@DustinKeiser]

2:06 I noticed the same thing with power slides on certain ground too

[@tomas746]

His lil park looks so fun

[@frontsidegrime]

thats dope Ben! ive been skating forever but not good enough to get paid, so ive landed in the world of contracting, and i watch your drywall videos all the time! so sick to see you rip!

[@michaelbenjamin2625]

Pretty much the typical skater who’s good but not quite good enough career path haha

[@FORANWFS]

Such a tidy build , imagine having g it behind yr house

[@Rustyfingaz]

3:28 we gonna ignore that smoothness outta that back 50

[@guilhermeguedelha2004]

tks ben

[@narrowonflow]

5:47 thats almost a a bank dude 🤩

[@Marlon-mr3vq]

Enjoyed watching

[@AdjacencyBias]

Glad you enjoyed

[@brokedownsuperman]

What a fantastic guy!

[@mutatedgenome]

Sweet. Thanks for this video.

[@AdjacencyBias]

You're welcome!

[@seltic13]

Still waiting for you to finish the mini ramp build video!! IF you can get on that I am looking to build one in my backyard when rain quits.

[@AdjacencyBias]

build us one when you're done ;)

[@emanueltomasini9947]

Dad ist back again, nice!

[@narrowonflow]

9:02 🥲

[@ha_ilzz]

sick setup haha

[@sweet7878]

It's funny to think that ramp would allow for tennis but an extra foot wouldn't. That ramp is already super in the way for where you'd stand playing tennis. Looks like a perfect setup though.

[@bFOURdwZEROlf]

that bench is great

[@AdjacencyBias]

so good

[@AaronFelizmenio]

This is well filmed.

[@AdjacencyBias]

Thanks!

[@gepettowins]

Well i haven’t built shit and i’m not as good at skating as you but at least we both can’t blunt fakie

[@JordanMoffitt]

Everybody loves Ben!

[@AdjacencyBias]

its true

[@krzysztoflew8810]

Ben

[@jim_carry]

bruh he skates good

[@AdjacencyBias]

even better in person it's crazy

[@brad1424]

da man

[@AdjacencyBias]

da myth

[@himebaughchris4026]

Aww... Somebody misses that UA-cam attention.

[@AdjacencyBias]

In his defense, we bugged him to let us make this ;)
