THE GIANT ROLL-IN IS COMPLETE!!

[@garethlindley2081]

Hi Matt, paint the bottom of the role in, in thick bitumen paint. This will waterproof the plywood and then you should be okay to concrete it in. Absolutely loving the channel by the way 🤙

[@SaltyNomad]

Good call!

[@conoredwards1261]

Paint the base with coat or two of Black Bitumen Paint, works for telephone masts and fence posts so should work for the ramp

[@jsbmx2039]

Ya concrete will rot the wood just as bad as the soil will. He needs to put some sort of waterproof membrane on that wood.

[@gawdlyinhale4203]

@@jsbmx2039 actually, if he used the special skatepark cement at the base, it is made to not rot wood it absorbs more moisture and dries faster than standard quick-crete, he could just fill it in but it would cost like around 300-500 for that, if he wants to go permanant thats definitely the solution, if not the waterproofing would work forsure, but its definitely a option to use skatepark cement

[@thatman84]

I would dig a slight 6-12 inch trench around the whole perimeter and slope the earth away from the wood/post bases. The water will never collect around the wood that way. And paint the bottom 2 foot with bitumen

[@Duncan23]

Could probably fit some drainage pipes into the cement base too, with planning it wouldnt be hard to pull off

[@tjkindler4092]

That's a proper roll-in Matt...pretty good work boys! I can't wait to see you sending it on that airbag!

[@Irogee]

You can oil the plywood. Its not only gonna look more beautiful but it is also gonna protect it from rotting.

FreeRider yeah I just commented before he said he was going to paint it 😂

[@trailrater]

Dude, the past 2 series I've been glued to! Love the epicness!

[@aMilling]

Generally you don't want to mix organic and non organic materials. Plus the wood could suck the moisture from the concrete. So coating the wood would probably be the best solution, and then you could poor some concrete to stop water from pooling up. Just make sure to add a small slope away from the wood, so it drains.

[@jess1ncase]

This.

[@willbennett7107]

This video is so much more professional than your others loved it

[@gw3616]

Great video as always Matt! If you coat it first with something waterproof (check what would be the best option for plywood) then you can use concrete. (It will rot either way, but it will definitely last longer!)

[@beechy0277]

The roll in should be bright pink, a mini motocross track would be sick, banger video matt

[@owenrick4123]

Paint it like your quater pipe with the blue and the muc off logo, that would look sick 🙌

[@MrEddieG420]

Just coat the bottom of the ramp wood with a polyurethane sealant or something like flexseal or linex spray on truck bed liner.

[@T3hRealMcCoy]

If you used caulking for the top cracks between the ply wood you should do it underneath too! water will run down the back. Also you should do the screw holes!

[@promodsteve7882]

Great vid. I am NO expert but I think you want to put rebar in that huge concrete pad.

[@BlackPenquinn]

My thoughts exactly. Plus some expansion joints.

[@vznboys8343]

You need to paint it hot pink!!!

[@lqdmnd6666]

Hey Matt you should find some paint for that weather or a big plastic to cober it you have to keep it alive dude just look how much work you are putting!!

[@liamwallace106]

Dig a soakaway next door. - a pit, typically filled with hard core, into which waste water is piped so that it drains slowly out into the surrounding soil.

[@suurkonn]

Make it bright green so you can green screen stuff on to it, that would be amazing!

[@LD-fq3wj]

Mäe Konn not a bad shout

[@jackhodl5434]

I always watch these videos with a big smile on my face

[@timtimtiroo]

Take industrial plastic wrap(polywrap) staple it to the bottom of the frame. Inside and out, 360°. Next dig a deep trench all around the ramp. Inside and out. 360°. Deeper the better. Fill in with 4inch thick layer of gravel. Lay stapled plastic wrap down into gravelled trench and angel it outward away from ramp.. maybe two feet out. Lay sand on top of poly wrap. Finish with concrete or more gravel. Days worth of work but that should give you many more years of dryish wood. I'm a tradesmen too.

[@shanebrown2432]

All is coming together, looks good. I have built Ramps and what I do with bottom of them is paint with a bitumen paint (remember to paint inside of it, not just the outside) I wouldn't concrete it in. I'd lower and slope the soil around it away from the wood. As for main ramp, I use a exterior paint, mixed with kiln dried sand and Pva. I protects the timber and the the sand gives some grip. (I normally do this on the take off Ramps) But food for thought. Not sure how you saved it on the pitbike, thought you were gona eat it.

[@evinreed6372]

You should pour atleast 3 inches of concrete as 1 inch will crack right away. Also worth putting expansion joints in every 6 feet or so since there’s no steel, relatively cheap at any hardware store. Can’t wait to see the finished product! Roll in is looking mean.

[@BuffTip]

Paint the ramp the colours of your Alcatraz🤙

[@martinarh5153]

Matt you should do a line from the drop on to air bag it looks like its possible. Amazing work by the way. 👌🔥

[@dawnkangas2968]

Absolutely awesome 😎

[@oliveryates4071]

Your going to be able to do some sick trick on that air bag

[@Scouser74]

You need to send Harry off it lo, looks brilliant great job

[@ChrisJuliano]

One of the only youtubers that has 15 minute long videos and I get mad when you do a outro becuase I am wishing they were longer!

[@Mbr1]

I suggest painting the wood under the ground level with coal tar or some other waterproof coating. Then pour concrete to the base.

[@larnbaldwin]

Paint the wood footings first with water based water proof paint , then line it with pond liner then concrete. If you pour the concrete strait in the wood will stoke the moisture out if it and will rot and be a bugger to get out, should work well this method. 👍

[@prime0591]

Larn Baldwin wtf that won’t work dickhead Let me guess u think ur a tradie😂

[@calebcavill6147]

Great video matt! your one of my favourite riders! You should put redbull graphics on the roll in, that would look sick i think. Also i hope you dont forget to put carpet underneath the airbag!

[@VailSkateSupply1]

Make sure your drains are good around the drop in. Also maybe treat the wood with some Thompson’s water seal, but not the surface.

[@greengonzonz]

Hmmm, concrete would lengthen the life of the ply a little but would eventually still rot. Any chance of cutting a drain?

[@foxxwp5873]

one thing you can say is that most of this is made by you and not paid people, great work and effort :D

[@jkgjr8219]

They make a water proofing product you basically roll onto foundations of houses. It would work great on the plywood. You should look into it!

[@leorussellmoore3329]

If you're going down the full water/weathering proofing hole, you might wanna consider waterproofing round where the screws are as well, water can get in between the ply there as well, and potentially even rust the screws!

[@dimensionsofearth]

That thing is monumental!

[@patrickeidhammer2470]

Pouring the concrete around roll in will work great as long as you make sure the concrete itself is sloped away from the wood!

[@slyboy1966]

Looking sick Matt can’t wait. 👌👍🏻

[@slyboy1966]

Matt stick a drainage grill on the bottom of roll in

Looks sick

[@jerrymaddox8255]

Paint the bottom with bitumen and I would also recommend vanishing the wood so that that is more durable and more waterproof

[@tomgraham1159]

To help with drainage you could dig a hole down underneath the ramp (just a small circular one) then put tubes of pvc pipe in it to let the water run down.

[@darrenferguson7582]

Orange bro would be sick ur the man keep up the grt vids 👍 fuckin awesome 👌 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@neilprice3767]

Do it with a grey protection paint for wood or fence's and then cover it in your sponsor logos . Think that would look really good .

[@caiskelton6405]

In future use marine plywood, better for external stuff. And thought about using torch on roofing felt on your new drop in? Water will run off plus a bit of grip for your tyres.

[@Tumshiz]

would spend my summer on site gladly

[@KaneBoggis]

You should do the roll in black with a marin logo in blue and pink. Then have a pink muc-off lip and a blue silver line one.

[@RASOX75]

Hey man. Love your channel and content. You should put a sealer on your roll-in before you paint it. Then none of it should be affected from the elements.

[@thomaswilliams9408]

MATT!!! You need to whacker that stone I the bottom first and out mesh in the concrete or over time it's going to crack!!! Have you not thought about getting ready mix aswell??

[@weedfreer]

what yey need is some preferated drainage pipe to lay beneath the ground level...water will then drain away quickly. maybe get some MOT stone and lay down a compacted layer with slits of soil at 2m intervals horizontal to the roll-in ramp such that the water can find its way down to the buried drainage pipe and ultimately away elsewhere in the compound

[@Gingeybhoy]

Get some bitumen paint and apply around the base of the ply to prevent water ingress. Or you can wrap the base with damp proof course and concrete it in place either way will prevent ground water from destroying the ply

[@melwalshmtb9121]

You should put planks down the side of the roll in as a way to walk up like the ones at Nitro Circus!

[@rawbeef5828]

If you dig around the footings a bit more and put slotted pipe agi pipe and crush rock and somewhere for the water to escape to then it won’t rot. Just plumbing 👌🏻

[@tommyskerk2496]

Yessssss oh my gosh I've been waiting for this for long . yessssssssssssssssssss

[@Shralps]

Can you try and support the base of the roll in. Then dig down further and fill it with chippings for the wood to sit on. Also, like everyone's suggested. Paint it 👍🏻

[@travistyus5813]

Use a wood preservative like copper naphthenate on all of the wooden surfaces pour concrete then paint it and finish it off with a sick mural with clouds at the top and red bull in the middle? Just an idea 💡

[@Nath2454]

Seal Wood first with oil based paint and then pour concrete in and that will also make your drop in even more stable.

[@onsight2822]

[@zerotoheromtb3104]

Matt jones, the only one to have a Carpenter on site with him but cuts a really bad jigsaw circle haha

[@arthurthain6943]

When you paint the roll in, use weatherproof paint to keep water off

[@mxnation1947]

Love the vids keep it up checking every day for a new video well done!!

[@yetifanuk]

use two part epoxy resin with a dusting of sharp sand on a second coat, basically turns the rump completely waterproof and super grippy

[@iansampson8083]

you concrete idea may work, if you do that i highly suggest renting a construction vibrator so you can get rid of any air bubbles, it will also help make the concrete bind to the ply wood better. id then caulk around the where the ply wood meets the concrete as over time it will pull away from the plywood causing a gap :)

[@weedfreer]

if you fix the wood of your ramp down at 45 degrees to the direction of travel, the gaps are already pointing down...seal it up for good measure tho like also, if you use marine plywood and seal it with a varnish, it'll last a long long LONG time x

[@javelin666]

I wanna see a jumptrail that leads u back to tha start. so u turn at the quarterpipe, and then pump/jump trail back to the scaffold start ! :D

[@AshfordMTB]

Paint it with the Alcatraz fade!

[@HMB190]

Paint the bottom of everything with like a 2 inch layer of Line-X. Let that dry. Then fill it with concrete to close in the indestructible coating of line-x wood in the concrete. All ground level so no residual water fills inside.

[@TeilzeitSender]

You should connect the drop of the slopestyle line with the roll in of the airbag

[@adrianscieszka989]

looks almost as good as Sam Pilgrim's

[@skm9420]

We call that plumber's tape in the trades in America. The galvanized steel

[@RipTrippy]

Concrete will make the wood soak up more water than without it. People use concrete to make fences but that just makes the posts rot faster

[@xHunteR55S]

putting concrete as a base would most definitely work cause concrete doesnt soak up the water as bad. You just have to pay attention to your mixture and dont overfill it with water. Imagine a wooden fence pole, they get concreted into the ground aswell sometimes and they dont rot aswell. You just need to seal up the exposed plywood over the ground against rain and fog moisture.

[@magpie7791]

yes mat you can put the ramp into cement just paint some bitumen on the wood that wil be in the concrete.

[@Deemaldson]

When this project is finished I'd love to see a video of you and Sam Pilgrim absolutly sending it onto the mega airbag! And why not paint the roll in to match both your jump bike and your mini bike! (pink, blue and black)

[@onsight2822]

You should paint the wood with ronseal ! Doe's what it says on the tin !!

[@318Arnie]

Before yout pour concrete around the base, put some plastic foil on the plywood, maybe fasten it with timber staples a foot off the ground. Your goal is to keep the water away from the wood. If you just pour concrete in the ground, it's very likely that rainwater will just stand on the surface on the concrete. While you're at it, coat the whole thing in water repellent paint. *architecture student flies away*

[@tblaze4946]

You need to put steel in before concrete so it’s stronger and doesn’t crack

[@keithdunlap2701]

Why not Color Fade the ramp like you Bike ?? Think that would be Sick !!! And add logo after the paint...

[@timgrant4519]

Hey Matt. Paint the ramp in the Alcatraz colours with the Marin logo.

[@timgrant4519]

[@adamday331]

With the wet ramp issue could you dig a deeper trench under the ramp and support it with pieces of wood then poor the concrete? Either poor in sections or place a membrane between the blocks supporting and the ramp so it doesnt get wet? Bit like underpinning a house?

[@motojake65]
