Day always gets better with a new Zack Dowdy video!

[@TheDoctor1492]

Love it, and love the reminder about cleaning up! It's all about creation and co-habitation! An improvement would have been to put a pvc pipe (2-3" diameter?) against the curb to act as a passage so water can continue to drain how it did before the diy spot. Would make it less likely to get torn out for making standing water, and would increase resistance against erosion!

might be doing this near one of the unused warehouses on the main street near my home, thanks a bunch!

Sick to see you updating a skate spot like that and giving it some love

[@edubai1]

very nice!!!! i love your DIY by yourself! it´s been my aproach to it in the last years... no expectations from anybody, no bossing around others, no having to convince people to get onto my ideas and projects...

[@maxwellharmon4172]

AWESOME!! another killer one dude!! next vid feature all the clips caught on that spot! im seein in edits on the regular!

[@Juliano_DJOL]

Better hit that flooring section and get some thinset Ardex or Mapei or even Henerys!

[@angelokefalas3750]

Another Kick-Ass video Brother! Shuriken posted the updated spot the other day on his FB page. So dope getting the homies to skate your DIY spots. It has got to be rewarding too. Keep up the good work Z!👊💥🔥🤘

Saw this spot in an Ace Pelka part. So sick

[@Officialflacolow]

I love how you always do positive I would have been so pissed off with everything if all of that happened to me but you just keep your cool your amazing man. love the vids👍🔥

[@GoosePotato27]

Nice video! Would love to do something like this sometime. Keep up your awesome videos

[@timort2260]

Hey get yourself a sprayer for the bonding agent. Big box store sell the bottle sprayer for cleaning they throw out a thick coat compared to your windex bottle which is mainly for misting a surface.

[@RodneySloan]

This works well on a solid surface, but how do you work on a loose surface, like dirt? Do you need to put down a layer of concrete over the dirt first? Excellent video, keep them coming!

[@mongolloyd5236]

Remove the loose surface dirt and replace with stone

[@amberruby4896]

Along with the hi vis, you should grab a couple cones and have them set up too. No one asks questions if you have a cone barrier 😁

[@jaydeedee6344]

When you did the first pour that would be a mud mat if it was dirt and loose stone. So it’s a normal procedure to pour. If you could would you have put a piece of PVC between the original bank and the transition so you have a pass through drain? I could see the water building up in that area being an issue where I live (it gets cold here) As always awesome videos and hope your head was ok, that was definitely something I’ve done many more times that I’d like to admit.

[@GatleySkateKrew12]

okay i just wanted to ask something, how come there's no videos on just pieces of sheet metal or plywood that you can put at the bottom of a spot for like a quick portable fix and i would be able to keep it in the boot of my car? i been thinking of buying thin plywood/sheet metal to do this, maybe you could make a video on this please that would be awesome (:

[@danielatkinson5686]

Brilliant!!

[@justosrs715]

Great videos

[@dogga6313]

If you make something over a curb get a bit of pvc pipe cut it in half and put it in the curb before adding concrete for good drainage. And the spot could cause less attention when in rains a bunch.😁

[@mathewharmer478]

I want to know can you build a skateboard ramp out of scrap wood like they do in Australia

[@Mad4400]

Only problem is wood burns a lot better than concrete. Finding the charred remains of a build is always a possibility using public spaces.

[@marissac870]

Dude....👍🤘👌you rock!!!

[@fernandoramirez-ko4ll]

Can we get the pin?! Sick spot

[@zwirbelsohnstrolch6247]

That made my day, thanks✌

[@briankirkland8870]

Dope vid!

[@louiludog]

so sick!

[@ChristianSpraungel]

Thanks for all your videos man! Gearing up to do my first DIY project with concrete. Built a couple ramps here and there but nothing concrete in 'public.' Doing some research and have some questions. Do you ever use the crack resistant quickcrete? Or just the standard? It's def more expensive but wanted to know if it's worth it for skating application. Also in some of your videos I see you adding acrylic fortifier. Wondering if this is always necessary or does it depending on what you're building? I'm working on a small bank up to a ledge with a curb on top. Only about 2 feet tall.

[@Officialflacolow]

Wassup dowdy hope y’all are doing good after that storm 🙏

[@Feelgoodboardinghub]

Soooo coooool !

Grate video

[@daniel_hawryschuk]

Hey, Zack! i was wondering if more expensive floats are really worth the money for beginner DIYers? I use cheap ones since i dont know much yet, but they always seem to stick regardless of how much water i put on my crete. I'm just not sure if nicer floats will be easier to use.

[@landofthelostzRo]

Get a nice marshall and youll be fine

[@landofthelostzRo]

Go steel flats

[@landofthelostzRo]

Or graphite or whatever it is lol

[@falcosk8]

RAD!!! Looks way easier to hit!

[@Mad4400]

20/20 hindsight. Remove flat and roll it over to gas station to pump it up. Length of pipe under the transition to prevent water pooling on the high side. Brush on paint will fill and cover much quicker and cost less than cans.

[@lukekellogg2367]

Any body know what app he used?

[@ZackDowdy]

It's called "Measure" free on iOS: support.apple.com/en-us/HT208924

[@TheRealMaxPowers]

you should've buried some kind of PVC pipe under it. drainage still would of worked so the every time it rained the water wouldn't be eating away at the concrete and the pipe would of helped fill up more space and make the transition easier

[@javinsalzer2159]

I would say the only thing that would make this better is if you would have laid a PVC pipe right up against the original curb that way it could drain and not erode your transition!

What kinda girly man doesn't know how to change a tire ¿?

Its hilarious how you just walk down the street with a bunch of concrete and start workin on random places. God, i love the disguise lol.
