in the vid you wonder why there is water flowing. there was rainwater in the drainage ditch because the ground was already saturated from recent rain. none of the new rain could soak into the ground :)
Ngl all the added challenges with weather and stuff almost makes it more interesting. I’ve been invested in your project for a bit now and I don’t want it to end lol. Such a cool spot.
I discovered your channel with this whole build and holy hell I am super impressed! I wish I could still skate. I had to quit a few years ago cause my body was giving out and I was spending everyday in pain, this was when I was in my early 20s. Now I'm 29 and Ive been diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis. Turns out all throught my youth, I was skateboarding with a genetic disease, that inflammimates my spinal areas and all I did all aggrevate it 100x, but I do not regret skateboarding. I am still heavily passionate about the sport, the scene, it all. Skateboarding lead me to many great places and people. I still look at my Enjoi setup (R.I.P Ben Raemers
Not wrong about being safe. But working in construction and having to deal with AQMD/EPA silicosis testing...you get more exposure sitting at the beach for an hour than you do working with concrete mixes for 3 months straight

it is a positive message. if you want something, get it. life is that simple. put in work and get that goal. you prove that time and again in these vids. definitely an inspiration. diy or die.
Been enjoying the videos. A cheap buy but so needed in DIY, is a chip brush. It will help apply your adhesive and bonding agent and also help clean your tools at the end of a job. Also using the mixing tray as your cleaning tray makes another tool multi use. Great work, now I need to get out and build!
Oi man I’ve found that instead of sweeping spots you can use a blower. I’ve got this battery powered electric makita blower. It’s awesome for blasting the floor around a spot or for clearing dust from rub bricking
Bro that’s sick ! Cool video. You should look into a grout bag , would help with your clean lines !! Would probably save you time , look better , and can limit the amount of excess material!
when it rains you should put your cement on the top of quarter pipe so it doesn’t get flooded. Have you thought about rendering the sides to close it up?
Great job man! looks smooth, we used to have an obstacle just like this at my local park and it was my favourite part of it before they modified it a couple years back, love those transition grinds into the straight drop off and also popping into it like a ledge into crooks and 5.0s to fakie, man i miss that spot it was the most fun T-T
i find it insane you just leave the stuff there when its flooding so much. at least put the crete on the ramp. rad videos, so awesome seeing someone do this, i feel inspired for some reason I also feel like this park will show up in a video game lol
Looking good! 🤘 edit: 28:44 - maybe adding a little angled lead-in on the side the water flows from would make it last longer and be easier than knocking out the back
Its weird i keep seeing skaters that like mixing bonding agent into wet concrete mix. It’s supposed to be painted on the surface and allowed to dry before pouring ur wet crete on it.
the comment of wow. maan. yeah it was. probably him. wink wink type shit. they rode the spot wit the homies. caant be mad. or upset it you set to skaters. upp an they was hype and shout out to you. for making the spots. i know you waned it to set but people hit it an thats its !

How do I fix the broken concrete at my local skatepark? I'll take some videos today and link something. The smooth top layer is broken off all over the place. I'm cool with the Parks guy. I help him shovel the snow out.
kind of hard to keep things level building on a slant. i guess you could have used a level with an angle finder and set that to your deck then set your coping to that level. im just saying that because i see the masons do that as they go on the mortar. than they tap the blocks to where they need them with their hands and scraper tools etc throw the level back on it and move down the line

Loved the old school surf music.
Damn Zack someone Else hit it with a Skateboard before U....Not Cool....

Please start wearing an N95 when you’re rub bricking/working with concrete! Silicosis is no joke, homie! Keep up the dope videos as always ❤
Yes for reals …. 😅
Silicosis is a problem related to occupational exposure. A few concrete projects throughout your life do not put you at serious risk.
@@mattc1012since the pandemic, there are quite a few N95 “Professionals” out there saving the planet one mask at a time. 😂

Loved this entire series. So excited for a possible season 2?!
Yes!
Those fisheye clips go hard
You need some wellington boots for that rain!
That's beautiful, nice to see that you have a line thought out and can work the whole spot at once. Super inspiring!
It's fun with more obstacles now!

Uoww man, nice piece of art ❤
It’s Great to see you making this ramp! Don’t put pressure on your self to upload buddy 🤙🏻
NICE PROJECT DUDE!
Love these vids bro they’re so relaxing to me just smoked one now I’m watching this in bed it’s like Holmes on homes for skaters
Love the update always wanted to see one

Great build man!
Happy at the length of this vid. It was frustrating getting small updates lol
Most stylish skater on and off the board
Alright guys who watched his uploads and skated it?😂
love the video ( from Canada St. John's Newfound )
Awesome project!
killer spot
you should clip up the videos you made for the diy into one video like chopped up summary of the stages.. good series though haha!!
Looks great to walk ride
wow this one was really great! epic!
You need to put a box of flat bar!!!
Great content - liked & subscribed!
need to seal the sides with concrete or its gonna wash out. sick ass spot though my dude ! Keep shreddin !
Dedication 👍👊🏻
Yay!
ur in cal is there not a park near u?
You’re missing the point…DIY
Who else is here for the snail 15:08
Hey zack How much did you spend ?
Dude just built a concrete dam in a municipal drainage ditch, AND documented the entire thing. I hope the "likes" can pay for the fines.
great video dude, such a rad spot
31:48 dude walks by in background .. nice work great to see the diy coming together
Was about to say the same. Dude looks kinda sus.
Sketchy ass dude in the back. Doesn't even have a board. Be aware of your surroundings

As a refugee from the time before municpal skate parks, this DIY spot warms my heart.
What a build dawg!! Well worth it! 🛹💯

as someone who mixes mud for a living id suggest getting a small ho. works well with a small mudbox ur using to mix in
Everyone loves to see this shit bro. Always focus on your own mental health enjoy the break dude
Information: washes inevitably end up having a lot of water wash through them
only problem with the graffiti there is that it's so toy lol
Another rad video dude👍 you’re truly the Johnny Appleseed of skateboarding. Thanks man.
Excellent series of build vids , very enjoyable to watch , I’ve subscribed, looking forwards to you doing more , peace ✌️
Man your voice and accent really reminds me of Rodney Mullen!
Awesome. Was really lookin forward to this one of the finished diy qp. Yes, more diy vids. Theyre great. Thx
Has anyone ever said you resemble Freddy Corbin?
Cool spot hope to skate it sometime in the upcoming year or so..
Sweet build Dowdy! All the hard work looks like it is paying off 🥳🍻
rip black widow
Excellent work. But I want to build these at my local skatepark. It needs a 2 and 3 foot half pipe. Has space for these ramps around the outside.
This turned out pretty good man. Good job
Thanks!
A DIY spine with dubbel rail next ? 🙏
i find it insane you just leave the stuff there when its flooding so much. at least put the crete on the ramp.
rad videos, so awesome seeing someone do this, i feel inspired
for some reason I also feel like this park will show up in a video game lol
Right!!! This was the second time the rain messed his stuff up like wth😂
Looking good! 🤘

Your spot is going to end becoming so famous in video's
subscribed only cause my last name is Dow ;). Spot looks slick, I’m looking for it, if I find it I’ll be super respectful!
Wish more mortar was Used between the coping blocks? 😬. Good job Man as a pool / tile guy ….i wish I could have help you !!! 🤙🏽

Probably causing less problems than official skateparks, unless there is a flashflood
I bet some people that don't know better think that you're Tony hawk. Bit of resemblance there.
Great job
I did not just watch this guy pour the glue on the ramp😭 your supposed to mix that in with the concrete
Come help me build a spot under the new freeway work they did here ! Ill be working it out
LETS GOOO it’s gonna be there for years
We're going to need Ben Degros to come down and build with you.
love this, man. inspirational for sure. ty
Why can’t the homies step up and help you with the projects ?
awesome
black widow life matters
This little thing looks perfect tho
This is so fucking cool man. Thanks a bunch
Does it make to the job easier wearing 3D glasses?
By the end of this year ima need a whole skate park in that canal
