You exactly said "I swear I'm going to break my board if I (you should of said you) don't leave a like on this video" I screenshotted it just in case you change it.
when i was a kid my dad, who has never skated in his life, surprised me with a ledge he made out of two wood beams (probably 6x8s) bolted together and covered in 1/8" aluminum on top and both sides. the metal was perfectly bent around the corners of the wood. it was about a foot wide, 8" high and maybe 8 feet long and super heavy duty. we put thousands of hours skating that thing. it was low enough so that if you fell you basically never got hurt. sometimes we'd prop up one end with a cinder block and put a kicker ramp in front of it and do any combination of gap to grind tricks you can imagine. i'd recommend building something like this to any skater of any skill level. it's also small enough to drag into the garage on a rainy day.
@@murphyaaron44 Yeah same here, but it is kind of short to keep a manual going. But at the same time, if it one of your first obstacles, it is perfect to learn how to ollie onto things. And do 50-50s.
@PHeMoX it is not the first obstacle I built. I also built a rail and a ramp. And yeah the manny pad is to short to be called a manny pad. I just don’t know what else to call it
@@peasant502 do a bunch of ollies and you'll get there soon bro. My first Ollie over a small coke can lying on the ground was 3-4 months ago and now I Ollie 3 boards. It don't take that long to get there.
manny pad ledge is the cheapest combo.....stack a pallet or two, piece of plywood and an old metal bed frame for angle iron. mini ramp is the best. ive had 3
I still beg my parents to take me to a skatepark and I’m almost 16. (I can’t drive yet because I’ve never had lessons. I was gonna do them, but COVID took everything out.)
I feel for you. I guess I was lucky growing up cuz it was only ever a short train ride away for me and my friends to get to the Skatepark. We had lobbied for one in my actual town for years and sods law they finally built it as I was moving out the area. Nice legacy to have though and whenever I go home to visit family I'll skate it and tell the locals I got this park built. 😇
@@chilli-iceolive-abode2447 the fact that my mum is black and doesn't trust the people in my area even tho it is a wealthy and small town in England. and also I'm a girl so she won't let me go without my brother and he doesn't skate so he gets bored as hell I also think she doesn't trust me eventho I've never done anything bad and I'm a good child in school. so basically she's a bit overprotective and I get very tired of doing the same thing in the same place without anything to skate.
@@persiadance7605 Hmm well if you're motivated enough think about getting up early and hitting the park then. You might even be able to sell that to your mum? Cuz noone is at the skatepark early in the morning and if they are I can guarantee they're not trouble makers they're beginners or older skaters. Do you have alot of trouble with racial abuse in your town? I only ask cuz you mentioned your mums black. I've moved to a small town in the UK and I'm half Pakistani, god when I moved here the locals couldn't get over it and gave me so much shit. So many small minded people out there!
You can always probably make portable obstacles and bring it to the parking lot and if you have like parking curbs and they’re painted you can just use some wax and it will slide good
My girlfriend's mom saw my board and excitedly told me about her love for skating in the 80s and how she built a ramp and shit lol Totally unexpected, but pretty sick tbh
The local park I skated at had a smooth fenced in area that used to be a softball feild but they paved over it and left behind some thick wooden poles and big sheets of wood so I put the poles under a sheet and made a super simple manual pad it was fun
Thank you. My local skatepark is really small and everything is clustered together with barley any obstacles, and the other skatepark in my city is just a bowl
Manny pad - get a few scrap wooden pallets lay plywood out on top nail it down get the right sizes a kicker - get some sandbags or whatever you have and lay them out In a sloping shape then secure a sheet of ply on top it’s easy to adjust Rail - you could look around scrapyards and tips but if your lucky you might find a wooden handrail with the right shape so just put a coat of stuff to protect it and then get some thin sheets of wood nail them into a small pyramid and add the rail with construction glue
I found a palate of wood behind a dumpster so I threw on some angle iron and made as tall as a decent sized box so now I’ve got my favorite obstacle 🤟🏻
So far my favorite place is the parking lot next to my apartment complex. Slick sidewalks, but good cracks for Chinese Ollie and of course the rhythmic “cadoop cadoop cadoop” as I skate over them! Love it!
I think my favorite thing to skate on is a mini ramp I am working on my turns on it, you know when you push on your tail and turn with your whole body, then I’m gonna try to learn a rock to fakie.
I like it when there’s a place to drop in and a little ramp with a ledge on one side and a rail on the other don’t know if there’s a technical term for it
You can make both a ledge and manual pad with pallets. Depending on how high you want your manual pad is how many pallets you'll use all you gotta do is go behind grocery stores they got pallets at every one
i built a grind box/ manual pad with a free top of a pallet and then some screws and angle iron and it shreds. cost only 6 bucks got the angle iron from goodwill and the screws for free.
My favorite part of a skate park is the half pipe or a bowl ( even though I’ve never been on one Because my skate park has many ledges rails and four quarter pipes. there is no space for a bowl of half pipe in my skate park but the ramps at my local are 7 feet tall and are really steep.
Piece of advice: If you go to some of these construction sites and ask the workers if they have any scrap materials. Sometimes, they will lead you to some good stuff for free. I've used pallets to make a mini behind a grocery store one time as a kid. We used cardboard and then some skatelite glued to it on the pallets. Lol skated it for about 3 weeks until they tore it down.
here's a tip for flat bars. alot of welding shops throw away prices under a certain length. so if you know someone the legs and bases it stands on can be free. and sometimes lengths of pipe or tubing have slight bends that cant be used for hat they are building and end up I cut off bins. i built my flat bar out of scrap from the welding shop i used to work at. did it on my lunch break and got it for free. only it's about a foot shorter then I would like because I don't want to link any more peices it has one link in center if rail that I had to grind flush. but what is posibly 200 bucks worth of steel was gotten for free.
Back in 6th to 9th grade my mom would drop me and my friends off at this plaza type strip mall, with about 6 or 7 good street spots within a 3 mile range and we would skat all over there and hit each spot then she would pick us up like a couple miles away from where she dropped us off when I called her. That was back in the 90s
I dropped in on vert a few days after Christmas and that’s when I started to want a back yard or garden skate park but I’m only 11 so I can’t but I am going to get one when I live in my own house
what material would you recommend for a reasonably cheap liner for an outdoor mini hafpipe. Something to put over the plywood that is most likely still waterproof, thanks
I remember my really really good skateboard was stolen 😔. Anyway building a skateboard park in a ...example a house that has 5+ more acres is literally the best to build the park.🙂 KONA was a park that was quite beautiful and awesome. Pay a visit.

I would build a mini ramp and make the part with no transition a little tall and put angle iron on the side to skate it as a mini ramp ledge and mani pad

Make a small kicker and use it in the streets. Should be possible in _most_ neighborhoods.

"Concrete mini ramps are the best way to go" says nothing at all on how to build one or even get one ):
built a ramp for $4 using plywood i found, pallets i found, and the 4$ for a box of screws
also made a ledge with a pallet, plywood on top, screws and angle metal
"How to build a skatepark for cheap"
Continues to tell you not to go cheap over and over.
Also process to show you clips of people skating ramps not how to build one
The local park I skated at had a smooth fenced in area that used to be a softball feild but they paved over it and left behind some thick wooden poles and big sheets of wood so I put the poles under a sheet and made a super simple manual pad it was fun
When I was younger I would walk 2 hours just to skate
So you didn’t skate there?

Manny pad - get a few scrap wooden pallets lay plywood out on top nail it down get the right sizes
a kicker - get some sandbags or whatever you have and lay them out In a sloping shape then secure a sheet of ply on top it’s easy to adjust
Rail - you could look around scrapyards and tips but if your lucky you might find a wooden handrail with the right shape so just put a coat of stuff to protect it and then get some thin sheets of wood nail them into a small pyramid and add the rail with construction glue

When you realize someone made a rollercoaster for $450
I've been designing a manny pad to build as well as a kicker ramp to be able to skate without having to go out
i built a grind box/ manual pad with a free top of a pallet and then some screws and angle iron and it shreds. cost only 6 bucks
got the angle iron from goodwill and the screws for free.
My fav thing to skate is the trapezoid ramps those are hella fun
9:29 kids reaction was priceless. Good luck in the future my friend.
I have a huge backyard but it’s mostly grass

My favorite part of a skate park is the half pipe or a bowl ( even though I’ve never been on one Because my skate park has many ledges rails and four quarter pipes. there is no space for a bowl of half pipe in my skate park but the ramps at my local are 7 feet tall and are really steep.

I think that making a quarter pipe to put at one end of your driveway so you don't have to spend more money to make a entire halfpipe.
Manuel pad making tip: a really easy way to make a manual pad is to get two pallets and just screw some plywood on top.

My friend has a backyard skatepark a spine, quarter
Pipe, 2 flat ramps 2 boxes and 3 kickers
Thanks for the information We don’t have a skate park where I live
Literally never been this early
combinee the ledge and manny pad use cinder blocks put a peice of ply wood on top and corner iron done it doubles
I have a mini ramp in my backyard and now my neighbours hate me.😂
Why tho?
Thanks, I’m thinking about making a mini half-pipe
The skate park I go to is in the clip with Paul ski112 so that is really cool
Wow I literally started building a mini ramp earlier today lol
What material? and how’s it going? I’m thinking of building one
Rails are my personal favorite obstacle to skate
Instead of a ledge you could build a manual pad with a leader built into it
Bowls and stairs are awesome
Gator skins is the wood of my back yard stake ramps
Rub brick a curb till smooth then spray lacquer then wax and you got yourself a fun small ledge
Thank you so much for encouraging me to skate
For a ledge (funbox/grindbox) just pick up a bunch of pallets... free!
my favorite obstacle are hills bombing is really fun and my fav thing
I dropped in on vert a few days after Christmas and that’s when I started to want a back yard or garden skate park but I’m only 11 so I can’t but I am going to get one when I live in my own house
Very creative
If you have a in ground pool just empty it and instant bowl, thats how they started
bro this is GENIUS
4" tall mini ramps and like 12 feet wide is so ideal and haveone side pool coping and the other metal and an extension
my favorite thing to skate is rail or slight hill/ramp
i would definitely want to do this, because fun fact, the nearest skatepark to me is like 3 hours away by car
I like ramps because u can also use them as a slide
what material would you recommend for a reasonably cheap liner for an outdoor mini hafpipe. Something to put over the plywood that is most likely still waterproof, thanks
