I take an angle grinder with a sanding disc and round off that sharp edge. Angle iron will have that weird coating on it too that needs to be sanded off then spray a clear coat, paint, or laquer to keep it from rusting. Hated that weird sharp groove in my trucks too.

I’m currently going 3 weeks without cannabis dude to a lung infection it’s hard but I’m glad I saw your video much love brotha🤙🏼

I feel like someone who's really fucking nasty could overcrook the metal part into a nose slide on the concrete part

How cost a ramp like that approx?

Im 49 and skate alone. I used to live close to Brisbane and had a great bunch of mates to skate with. But i moved to the country and there is no one close to my age who skates where i live. I’m lucky that the skate park i have local is completely under cover. I wouldn’t mind having someone to roll with but solo skating is a new chapter in my life and im looking forward to seeing what comes next.

Those are Lurpiv trucks!! I know my trucks too! Those are the closest you can get to Stage 1 Indys. If you know you know! I like being able to turn on my skateboard lol

There is a DIY at 205 Hopkins Blvd in Biloxi, Ms. under a bridge. Gulfcoast Skateparks Association really trying to get a good park for Biloxi DIY skaters.

Man , I need to come back to Cali and skate with you 🤙🏻

Oh cool finding this vid cus that’s my local park!

That was sick Spencer nice combo

In this episode Dowdy dressed for Halloween as a dentist or lab tech.

Secret even tho it’s been trashed lol

DOWDY THANK U BRO, MAN W THE BEST CUFFED JEANS IN THE PARK. ALWAYS. 🤟

at Your Skate spot the Zack Dowdy ditch, you have probably made the place better for people in the city not having to deal with sketchy people who are homeless and/or doing dangerous drugs/similar things in here.

If youve ever watched forged in fire, they always describe the kind of metals they plan to use to get solid/hard/sturdy results. Looks like it matters for skateboarding too.

Super nice just seeing you session your and other cool spots

A heads up, i used to work for a caulking company. When we would grind out expansion joints to caulk, then we would use alcohol and rags to whipe out the joints before caulking them. It helps to bond stronger. Same concept for bondo and any other materials used with concrete.

I find a decent metal file is a useful tool to bring to smooth edges or fix up equipment

Bold choice with concrete but a great choice that ramp will outlive the house and the concrete revert noises are so worth it

I live near here! Been wanting to stop by

Day 3 of no smoking weed and the dreams that I'm having are wild. I also completely agree with everything in terms of your experience with quitting, setting a negative association with it, my last joint I just felt so shit after, like telling myself, why are you doing this? Even one day in I felt like my emotional capacity has vastly increased, I'm able to love more, able to focus better, smell more sensitively. I'm struggling with the phlegm build up now, I'm coughing up all the shit in my lungs that has built up over the years, hopefully that goes away soon. I really don't need this in my life. I started at 12, now I'm 24 and a half and I feel like wasting half my life was not worth it, and I aim to never smoke again.

My local city park always has trash, and there's a goddamn trashcan right outside the fence. It's definitely a people problem where some people just drop trash wherever they are. Don't take it personally.

Are you iron man’s dad ?

Swimming is a miracle worker

Found a video of yours a while back about a diy in the hills. Definitely inspired me to get back on the board again and well I found a slab of concrete over by an abandoned building that has a rough little diy. After the cops drove by and didn’t care what I was doing I think that set my mind on making the place better. I’m going to get some concrete and mortar and see what I can get done lol. Thanks for the inspiration

Take a cheap smooth cut or second cut metal file to the edge of the angle iron just to round it off a little, using a file will be super quick and nice and quiet. Maybe a little 120 grit sandpaper after the file just to polish it up that extra bit would help too.

Hit up rob! those spots are sick..have a chill holiday and new year man

The problem with the angle iron is due to the metal being stronger/denser than the metal your truck is made of. The edge of the ledge cuts into your truck. Easiest fix is taking grip tape or an angle grinder with a polishing disk to the tip of the edge of the metal until it’s got a little curve to it.

Was that otay mesa ?

The Andrew Reynold ones slide

I'll be honest I'm sorta on the same track as you as far as being a socal kid, started smoking weed in high school and still do now at 37...I am also an alcoholic, its far worse than marijuana has ever been to me and I wish I could stop drinking....Smoking weed wise, the term addiction has come up in my life, I question if it really is an addiction or just something I enjoy. I think it is a mild addiction, but when I think of other addictions and how traumatizing they are, well marijuana just aint that. I don't need to wake up and smoke, I don't need to smoke at all before I go to work and I can wait all day until I get home...I'm not a functioning alcoholic either, I wait to smoke and drink until the job is done...Unless it's my day off, then fuck it whenever I feel like it. Heres my real problem and clearly why it is an addiction. I'm getting sick, my kidneys do not agree with my lifestyle even though the doctors said they are fine...Hmm weird. I have cut back a lot, but in total I do believe i need to stop but that is the hardest thing to do. I can wait all day, but once I'm home, especially if I had a rough day, I'm getting fucked up. Hopefully I can find a way out of this fuckin hole I've dug. I'm glad to find your videos, very therapeutic and interesting to hear you are on a similar path.

Hey man you still not smoking?

Who knows maybe your friends will get back into Skateboarding when the time comes

Come skate a DIY at 205 Hopkins Blvd in Biloxi, Ms. under a bridge.... Gulfcoast Skateparks Association just received a mini halfpipe donation... Biloxi DIY skaters are so stoked.

That’s an awesome combo right there

Pop over has always been extra crispy with a side of ranch dressing but there both keepers.

i cant help but think "lies" when i hear people that talk like this

How do I do lip slides, back / front disasters?

Reminds me an 8.75 opera board I just set up, has wheel wells too

Noice

This is so skate, where do I sign up to build.

I sanded the flatspots out of wheels someone left at the skatepark

Smoked heavy for 32 years, every day unless there was a very temporary drought. Been clean for 4½ years now, and just can't fathom how I was such a slave to it. Having to have it to do, or enjoy, anything is so relatable. Life is much more better without it. More able to appreciate things, and of course the vivid dreams 🙂
