Building a SECRET Concrete Mini Ramp in the Woods

In this tutorial I go over how we went about building a hidden concrete mini ramp in the woods. I go through every step but if I missed something, let me know in the comments and I will get back to you as fast as possible. If you enjoyed this video, please consider liking and subscribing for more content:)
Heres a link that goes over how to cut the sides for the frames of the quarter pipes:

These dimensions can be modified for any size ramp and I was able to reuse the mold for both ends.
A special thanks to everyone who helped build or fund this ramp! This could not have been done without you!

Wow great job. Pretty much every skaters dream to have a small mini to skate. Skatepark minis are always made too tall

[@isaaccolt4825]

so so so so so so so true. I was litteraly bout to say that. Glad im not the only one who thinks that. LOL

[@alphahawkgames6896]

Or too steep to learn anything sketchy

[@JeRrYxVaNcE]

I didn’t ever even think there was such thing as a small mini,

[@seanarmstrong7767]

Shitty minis plague America and are the scourge of society!! I say we take back what god has gifted to all men and finally rid not only America but all of Earth from the silent, forever stalking evil that is shitty minis!!

[@Unloved_truly]

Bro this is the coolest thing I’ve seen. Building a mini ramp with the bois. Gold 🖤

[@willusionist]

That sesh at the end was dope. Thanks for inspiring me to keep practicing.

[@toony1998]

Thanks man! That was mainly my buddy Oscar that was rippping it up.

[@Noway-sg8md]

this rules, i bet everyone involved feels super accomplished and loves this spot

[@bigmikeosg7753]

Great video, y’all did amazing! Looks super fun

[@alexw-mann7083]

Amazing Job. Pure Skateboarding.

[@MrFlyingguy]

talented group of individuals in every respect

[@yannickkaeding1439]

Nice job guys!

[@juuritarha]

so very nice and inspiring! thank you for sharing!

[@tubi2123]

dude that’s awesome! i would’ve wanted it to be a bit bigger, but still. and i like how at the end the guy skating says “do it again” if you guys do build another, it will come out even better.

[@toony1998]

I wish we could have made it bigger too but sadly this was all we had the money for at the time. Next project will be bigger I can assure you!

[@sethjohnson4513]

Good information and inspiration here. I hope many skateboarders will follow the example here. Very cool project. One challenge that might be hard for some people is attaching the anchor rebar to the coping via welding. Welding is the industry standard for this step in concrete skatepark construction.. DIY can solve it without welding. There are several alternatives, but the easiest for me to describe via typing is to drill holes through the coping with a metal drill bit. Large hole for the face of the coping, smaller hole on the concrete side. Run bolts through with the head of the bolt slipping through the big hole on the face, but not the other hole. Snug it up with a nut on the other side. Bolts should be 3" long or preferably longer. Run them every 2 feet or so. The more, the better. That coping won't go anywhere. Cram concrete in that steel pipe coping if you want to make it quiet. Use a broom stick to smush it in there.

[@NationalCrafter]

Yeah, that was a fucking treat to watch. Some mad hard work followed by some mad hard skating. Great work boys.

[@TheAnimeist]

Next time I go hiking in the woods, I'm brining my board. You just never know.

[@Ratt611]

Epic project !

[@zanilhyder5859]

Thank you for the video.

[@nikosoup7999]

Holy shit this spot is awesome man love to see skaters coming together to build some good spots

[@oibcrewsurfer]

Thanks so much for this, i will do a wider build this same way soon.

[@toony1998]

Make sure to build it in a hidden spot! Check my most recent video for an update 😔

[@blackdaan]

nice man.. love it !!!! be different than the rest

[@izzyanderson1630]

unbelievably dope

[@noway5096]

dang, what a rad group

Not letting go og that beer can shows how addictive alcohol can be. 😄 Great job guys! Very inspiring. Greetings from Norway

[@zeekeek]

you made it happen boys

[@adrianrosas5741]

This is so siiiiiiiiiick!!!! 5:44 is a vibe 😎 sick trick

[@VinnytotheK]

Tempted to build one of these over at FDR in Philly!

[@coopo95]

Good shit man.

[@toony1998]

Thanks man! More to come soon!

[@torokumedia1088]

Good job!

[@toony1998]

Thank you!

[@dearestbrotherfrank]

The surface looks rough but it looks like you guys had fun skating it.

[@chancemoore4723]

fire

[@justinriley3096]

That was 🤙🏻❤️🤙🏻❤️just little to small but badass

[@JBH123]

Way to git 'er dun, boys! Sometimes you just gotta go for it even if you know it won't be huge or perfect. Also, nice footage of Napoleon Dynamite shredding from about 6:36 to the end. 🙂

[@19james77]

YES!

[@abbytune5044]

ahhh yeahhh😎

[@fourseen4513]

veryyyy coollll i like the idea XD got a question the guy skating at the end is it Napolian dynamite ?

[@JacksonPriceSonder]

How did you guys get the concrete to go together smoothly when you poured at different times, when I tried I had a really hard time getting it smooth between the dried/slab, and the new one I was pouring

[@toony1998]

I’d love to see a picture of yours and maybe I could help. Where the new met the old concrete, did the quarter pipe overlap the dried slab or did it but up to the edge of it?

[@FUZZWAHH]

Good times!

[@KneeJerk]

I just did a similar sized build, will upload a video soon. Did u leave wood in between the flat bottom and 2 transitions?

[@toony1998]

I’m not sure I know where you’re referencing.

[@KneeJerk]

@@toony1998 no worries man looks good

[@davidesposito1590]

How many bags of concrete did you use?

[@themanthelegend7048]

I have always wanted to go randomly somewhere in the woods and build a concrete half pipe.

[@toony1998]

Go do it!

[@themanthelegend7048]

@@toony1998 I will one day. Bucket list.

[@stevenpickren5677]

Turn it into a bowl 🔥

[@toony1998]

Bettttt Venmo me and I got you 😉

[@ilyadevers]

Cool video, cool build. Do you remember know the height and radius?

[@toony1998]

I believe I used a 5' 6" radius and its just under 2' high!

[@Graeberwave]

Question: eventually that plywood on the bottom part of the (epic) mold is going to rot out right? Or can you also pop it off so it doesn’t?? Thank you for sharing how to do this, so inspiring!

[@toony1998]

It was admittedly harder than I thought and I think there may still be some on to this day. You can you a battery powered saw to cut it though!

[@ForeverJade.D]

Could I basically do this without the ramps and just pour a concrete pad for flatground this way and to eventually expand on? My problem is I live in a super rural area and have to travel a bit to reach any skatable concrete

[@toony1998]

You could but in order to do one the size of anything skateable, it would be much cheaper and easier to just hire a concrete company to pour one

[@yetijpg1427]

Yurr

[@CrizzyB]

Yoo I have that same nightmare board! Their home shop Compound skate shop is right by my house

[@toony1998]

same! this ramp is in bellevue!!

[@Mason-vu9bo]

how many bags did you use

[@toony1998]

Sorry somehow I missed your comment. I think we used around 100 bags of 60lb mix. We just plugged in the dimensions of our ramp into a concrete mix calculator and it gave us a very accurate amount of the bags we needed.

[@coreymillia]

If I was this property owner and came out to find this, I would think, hell yeah. Are you making a bowl?

[@bradengregory6261]

Is it still rideable any cracks or weathering

[@toony1998]

sorry for the late response! it’s holding up well! a chunk fell off the corner after over a year of abuse but i think that it was from vandels

[@BlameItOnYourFriend]

awesome idea. Looks like it needed to be a foot or two taller though.

[@toony1998]

Thanks! I wish but at the time I was very broke and this was already stretching it along with some donations.

[@SABbrew]

Not at all. Short and sweet. Easier to learn new things.

[@silversorcerer9316]

i guess its a good starter ramp to get to the mega huge ramps, would help your balance and skills

[@brucelee101]

Cool but damn it looks really short in length

[@Ol_Durty_Badger]

***breathes heavily and starts stockpiling concrete

[@toony1998]

🤣

[@unzulaessig]

Nice but i think without a good foundation it will be get out of level soon

[@bradengregory6261]

How much did it cost to make?

[@toony1998]

it’s hard to say because a lot of the materials such as rebar, coping, and framing were donated but i bet you could build a similar one for under 600. just an estimate though.

[@roycemaslyk3612]

It’s so peaceful then skateboard noise became a annoyance.

[@shanebreezy4453]

Never would i ever trust standing on that suspended concrete deck on both sides lol. Why not fill it in fully the right way??

[@patefutch6168]

Needs more flat but good job dudes

[@toony1998]

thanks for the feedback! yeah we just built with what we got funded for. still works great but obviously would be cool with more flat or if it were higher or wider

[@jimizxztheorginal]

100th like lol

[@alexb9597]

Y’all still skating it?

[@toony1998]

yes it’s still holding strong! a little piece of the corner got knocked off of one of the decks but i think that was done by vandels

[@b4sh936]

U still skating it? This kind of videos normally are like 11 years old, surprisingly this happened not so long ago

[@toony1998]

Yeah! I don’t live as close to it as I did when I was building this but when I’m over there I always have to get a session on it

[@Niberspace]

Aw man, concreting is one of the toughest jobs there is, is skating really that much fun to justify carrying all that cement?

[@toony1998]

The process was just as fun as the product!

[@jonfitz4724]

Have you considered Civil Engineering as a career? No kidding.

[@toony1998]

It was actually what I was originally planning on doing! Didn’t last long

[@gashadokuro6666]

This is cool but ur concrete is thirsty

[@toony1998]

could have used a lil more water on the second side

[@Ivano_gogo]

😂😂

[@user-jg7tl5hj8b]

Bruh...

[@Bobdinkins666]

Is it still there?

[@toony1998]

It is! Skated it a couple weeks ago!
