SPRAYING Concrete - How New Concrete Skateparks Are Built!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 сер 2024
- How concrete skateparks are built; showing the entire process of a concrete ramp being built from start to finish.
First they literally spray the concrete in a general shape of the ramp. Then they distribute the concrete evenly to needed areas before starting the smoothing process. During the smoothing process handfuls of concrete are thrown into needed areas before making more passes with the hand tools to smooth further.
Once a general smoothness is achieved, other hand tools are used for further smoothing and several more passes are made. Next appears to come an edging process for the edges where metal meets concrete and the edges of the ramps. Finally, the ramp is smoothed with rainbow patterns for a finished appearance.
This is what I could gather from watching the process, so there is sure to be more going on than what I saw.
Spohn Ranch is building a skatepark near me and I am documenting the entire process from start to finish!

Next time when I am at the skate park this is going to be in my head. The time, effort and money that goes into building a concrete skate park sometimes is just not understood. I appreciate the labor.
Just a note I've never seen any video uploaded for so long with no dislikes... I love it!
Heck yea it’s going to be awesome to just look at the park and imagine people building it. Will give you a whole new appreciation for just being there.
And thank you!!
@@FoxJumps that's because they removed dislikes from UA-cam
As a skater turned engineer, I absolutely love this. I'm impressed by skilled laborers on a daily basis, and these guys are absolute craftsmen.
This is awesome! You never get to see this part or the skimming of it. Usually get before and after.
the teamwork and dedication brings a tear to my eye
Incredible! Love how patient they look. Slow and careful to make it as good as possible
Wow just complete wow. Artists at work. Literally had a couple of tears in my eyes at the end.
can’t wait for this thing to open up
Me either! It's going to be SICK!!
Thanks for sharing, I always wondered how it was done. I thought maybe less hands on. You guys really put a lot of work into each peice.
i enjoyed watching these guys work. they are really talented and dedicated to making the ramp perfect. i liked watching the guy with the hose and the guy with the blue hat, they seemed extra determined.
Absolutely agreed man! It was so clear that they were there to make it right
It’s cool to see how much work is done by hand. And I’ve never Seen concrete being sprayed like that, it’s cool to watch!
Right?! Now look at Newarks park and think about how these guys built it!
Same dudes
@Brant_Moore they do a great job!
Cool to see! Thanks for posting Brant!
Thanks for watching!! It was fun to capture
I'm just realizing until now I've never seen how this is done
Exactly same here! haha
what'd you think?!
@@Brant_Moore thats wild, I'm not sure how I expected it to be done but it definitely wasn't by a hose😂
Haha isn’t it funny how hard it is to imagine how they’d do it after you’ve seen how they actually do it?
@@Brant_Moore it really is:P I wish I could ride that park when its done because it looks like its coming out great!
@@justinmorris890 thats how its done when you have a company with alot of money... when your goin DIY type shit, you use a shovel, a bucket, and your intuition as a engineer
Thank you so much. That was very Satisfying. I've poured foundations, driveways,sidewalks, and walls. That was Cool. :) I want to make a little one now HEHEHEHE
Glad you enjoyed it man!! Also, thanks for being here to watch it! Was it what you'd expect?
Any idea what the guy was applying to the dry concrete with the paint roller?
@@sz8558 it looks like a concrete bonding agent (look up Sika).. Most likely used to help prevent cracking but you will often see it used to bond new concrete to existing
Dudes riding that hose like a pro!
hahahahahaha!
Great footage. Some love gone into that. Awsome.
Thanks man and absolutely! You could tell that they really care about what they’re doing!
I don’t know if the people building the skateparks know that the skatepark that they’re building will make so many good memories and good times for possibly decades
impressive...a lot of work and technique 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
It’s so cool to see the process. Trey jones needs to get these guys to come by his house since he was talking about doing concrete this time around
This was so awesome always wanted to this done an you just provided that for me grate footage of it keep up the dope video an keep them coming 👍👍👊
so satisfying
I do concrete for a living and I've always been curious what type of Crete they use. It cures sooo smooth
When I talked to someone there he said that they checked a few local companies and found some they liked so I'm assuming that's what they do with other parks as well. They went over it by hand 3-4 times smoothing it out before they were done
Im a union ready mix driver and we get city jobs like this, i have helped make sidewalks ,bridges , stadiums, Anything the city of so. Cal needs made in concrete basically. My dream is to help make a skatepark, so then i can ride what I have helped build. This dudes in concrete work so hard.
Yes been waiting for the next update
Thanks for tuning in! What'd you think?!
That's pretty dope
Brilliant work.
Dude holding the sheild definitely needs a full mask jesus 😂
1:48 did you ask him what he's putting on there?
Great Work! I am just getting ready to build one down here in Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca Mexico. If you have any photos of the progress and anything else you would like to share I'd be so stoked! Thanks
Awesome !
Is the last floating step we see is the final step ?
I’m honestly not sure as I wasn’t there for what came next when they were building any of the obstacles at the park. There is the portion around 2 minutes where the guy is painting something onto the ramps. I’m not sure if that is the final step for the concrete or not, but it seems like it could be. They also sealed the seams up in the bowl after everything else was done in it
What is that white stuff the guy in the bowl is applying?
I suddenly want to build a skatepark.
What is the guy in the bowl using to seal that
The guy spraying definitely knows how to man handle that hose.
Love seeing the progress, but I would hate to be that guy standing at the top acting like a human backstop!
Haha watching that part I couldn’t help but get the feeling that he might’ve been the newest guy on the crew
Haha, your totally right! That's a new guy job for sure!
Not a mask or gloves in sight.
Skills!
I’d be wearing a resporAtor 4 sure!!
Waiting for a new sprocket to come and my old one is broken can I ride without a sprocket?
What's that white stuff he was painting on the bowl??
This is gonna be dope.
Also, might be a budget mini spot locally somewhere it won't bother anyone. Not sure if I seek permission first or build first lol.
But Cinder blocks some random rocks and filler, plus diy skate spot ingenuity should make for a cool budget skate spot.
Cinderblocks and concrete don't cost alot per se, and random rubble can help fill shit in cheap. Beer can coping. Maybe even pvc pipe coping and "rails" wood for forms while pouring.
Just really want a fun box back. There's like not a single one in my city anymore. So kinda wanna build a steezy big ass one. Thinking under a bridge that crosses over a valley that's just recreational trails. on a spot off to the side of the trails. Not that far from a legal local park and some unsanctioned dirt jumps.
Lol Burnside of my city but bike friendly.
Easier to ask for forgiveness than it is to ask for permission. Best to visit your potential spot and observe it for foot traffic and whatnot, then make your plans and take measurements and all that, do as much prep as you can at home then come in fully prepared for a quick low-key install. The less foot traffic and visibility the less likely someone will report it or fuck with it, and once it's cured it's pretty much permanent unless the city bulldozes it. Lots of diy spots get torn down within hours of being set up if the spot isn't secluded enough.
@@Chudchanning the place I'm planning is under a bridge on a random section of gravel beside a bunch of bike trails and running trails. In a random valley system. Where it like literally shouldn't bother anyone.
Only problem is getting shit to said location. But half why I'm tempted to ask for permission. Might be able to get permission to do it and get a city truck to drive the shit into the location. Random citizens can't drive into those locations but city workers can when needed.
@@Chudchanning xD also I sorta planned it for a spot where it would be a bitch to rip out.
There's traffic but not as much as you'd think but sometimes bike cops. But done on stages might be fine and left alone till its too big to easily rip out.
Full speed ahead sir. Slightly off the path is a solid spot
@@Chudchanning yeeee plus it's a pretty huge area and like it's already a spot that's not got vegetation and stuff so not like they can say destroying wild life habitats.
My city doesn't have my diy spots that last or any diy parks. Just 2 sets of jumps really. But it's been a topic of debate since some other cities in my country have huge famous diy parks and lots of them. Why I was thinking might be a spot the city would say yes to a diy or at least not go through the trouble of ripping it out and as long as it's not rife with problems they might end up supporting it.
But gonna see about bare cinderblocks and some bricks. And pouring some custom bits and using gravel and stuff for back fill. Will kinda suck to fall on but grip shouldn't be an issue even slightly wet. Plus would let me line the bricks up with smooth transition.
There's a hill by the one section that's like perfect to just build a flat like platform for a stair set. Might try pvc and Crete to pour a concrete hand rail I can polish and smooth up. Reinforce it with random metal or rebar.
Probably also gonna help my buddy with some diy spots on his city. And we might build a diy bowl on someone's property for a private spot to sesh the living shit out of lol.
But I wanna try and get skaters and other peeps involved in my plan. Make a spot everyone can enjoy but started by bikes so skaters can't pull the it's a skate park bs. Plus also a spot we can tweak if we want. And add more shit if wanted. I know this old dude who's son used to bike and skate before he passed away, has a stupid nice piece of steel pipe for rails. Hard ass steel that's corrosion resistant but harder then most stainless steels and stronger. Won't dent gonna slide like butter and should stay uber smooth. Concrete fill them and they shouldn't Crack ever and helps with denting. Already said I could take it. And I know where to source other railing material cheap so gonna try and make it look pretty professional and built all on volunteer shit and donations or my cash flow and keep it budget but like super nice to use as a model to argue diy park spaces and dj spots. Either doing a mini ramp first or 2 quarters a fun box and some flat rails and ledges. Expand every year lol or till it gets ripped out.
But we have a skate crew that builds sick diy shit that always gets torn out. Concrete and plywood but I know they have some nice molds that aren't that heavy and pre poured shit for diy spots. If I can get them on board it'll be alot easier cause they pitch together to get bigger projects done for money and shit makes work faster. And I'm already planning to drop a decent budget on shit. Plus used to work construction. So gonna hit up a contact when I buy materials and get wholesale bulk pricing without needing to buy tens of thousands of dollars worth of materials.
You should ask them if they’re goi to ride it when they’re done
I'm sure they will! Most of them skate or ride
can anyone tell me the cost pr SquareMeter ?
Good old shot Crete...
Artists..... this is like an ASMR video hahaha
haha Literally had that thought while I was editing and trying to decide between having music or no music!
Its was quite relaxing also.
Agreed! Really glad it came across
Woah.
Right?!?!
Where is this skatepark?
Millersburg Ohio
asmr
But can they skate it?
Show this to trey jones!! 4 his ramp he’s building
what city is this made in?
Millersburg Ohio!
Is this spawn ranch??
Yep!
@@Brant_Moore that’s my boy Thomas on the sprayer 🤘🏽🤘🏽
He seemed like a rad dude for sure!
@@Brant_Moore hell yeah man
you guys probably should've sprung for masks lol
That’s awesome but lime burning up ur lungs doesn’t sound that awesome 🤔
Usually bmxers can ruin skate parks since their bmxs scrap concrete or other etc.
That noob grabbing concrete with his hands 🥴
You can grab concrete. It’s slightly caustic so it’s not ideal but you’ll be fine. Just wipe your hands off after.
@@TheDarthmitch I used to grab it when I first started out but learned the hard way what that does to your skin.
