Thrasher's DIY: How to Build a Cinderblock Ledge

[@Flippy]

god bless the diy spot builders

[@danieljalali5854]

used to be a cool spot at a completely demolished school so me and my mates built a ledge out of bricks and concrete, smoothed it down abit and added the metal, week later someone decided to destroy it lmao

[@slades_salad]

fr man, sometimes diy beats park ngl

[@WolfWould]

DiY is definitely part of the soul of skateboarding! 🤘

[@takeawayfarm]

Could not agree more !!

[@ralphterblanche3468]

I am not a big man anymore so I’ll try it on my own

[@ZackDowdy]

Little man will be the king of DIY in the future! Killing it Austin! ❤️‍🔥🤘

[@monsterlol]

thank you so much for this series. Me and my dad have been building a diy in our driveway, except out of wood. These videos have been super sick to watch because hopefully we will be able to build a concrete diy spot in the future and it also gives us inspiration.

[@camtenna]

Your dad is rad!

[@monsterlol]

@@camtenna thanks dawg, im definitely lucky to have a dad that used to work in construction.

[@funkydankspliff]

That’s wassup hope you get hella memories outta that spot and specially time spent with your pop

[@monsterlol]

@@funkydankspliff thanks bro.

[@russellfloyd3921]

mixing wood with crete jobs on property is best of both worlds

[@milesolsen_]

These diy videos are amazing - thanks for the inspiration!

[@newgrounds90]

[@Zee2Sea]

Thrasher think you might want to engage Austin regularly, He’s a great presenter get him out front more.

[@megoz]

Finally, the create part is back

[@baseplatedesign]

Love this series! Keep it up Austin and Thrasher 👊🏼

[@rahmanpermana4741]

This is a very nice instructional video. Short, simple and clear

[@Shenbeiner]

[@andrewferris4242]

[@geoffresmart]

Can’t wait for the mini ramp episode

[@rickyjames1659]

I've been playing Tetris my whole life preparing for this moment.

[@MrMophead41001]

Yeah, until you finish the first layer of cinder blocks and they disappear

[@Heiwwa]

I remember when this was just only had the quarter n some curbs thank you 🙏

[@malicant123]

Stagger the blocks for extra strength.

[@marissac870]

Yall rock. Keep killing it. And thank you

[@felsuave4248]

Os caras construíram, Gabriel quebrou o pico com direito a levar um bloco pra casa. 💣

[@mattsayhi]

ive been calling angle iron, angle line my whole life, thanks thrasher! now I dont sound like a kook at the DIY

[@LEBRON4MVP]

You guys should put that logo on a shirt and hoodie the one in the intro

[@ogcresinko8334]

Never thought thrasher would be doin how to videos

[@zekiJESUS1507]

Hell yes! Gotta build this now

[@chaddsinclairofficial]

this is god damn amazing!! oh I use to go around with angle iron and glue it to curbs/ ledges around the city ROFL

[@aoe2dog]

gotta love these videos

[@jeremylamovsky3669]

Cinder block and parking blocks, construction adhesive. Best shit to ever happen to someone in an area without great spots and the ones you do have are busts. Unfortunately my friends and I are totally inept when it comes to making shit with quikrete, so painting curbs and making cinder block ledges allowed up to have a spot. I just wish the township would give up a foundation with smooth concrete, make a few concrete obstacles like a pyramid and Manny pad, maybe a mini ramp and just let the skaters build the rest instead of making a park with prefabricated bullshit. I remember when we were trying to get a park someone seriously asked us why we couldn't mulch it in instead of concrete. Yes really. I knew we were fucked at that point.

[@carstenbegerow6588]

Nice Vid but unfortunately you missed to explain something. What about the steel pins you drilled and fixed to the ground? I think this is a very important step… Have a good day🤘🏻

[@powerviolents]

the rebar is an optional part that makes it sturdier

[@SakosTechSpot]

I really hope this turns into the next Burnside. Such a nice spot! Where's it at exactly? Oakland is about 45 minutes away from me. Gotta check it out!

[@djuelzp]

By Chinatown in Oakland off 43rd Maddison but they tore it down

[@mkehrts]

This is dope content more like this

[@leet.honeycutt7314]

Pretty cool, but I would have staggered the bricks. It's solid, but to me it would be even more so if it were staggered. Just gotta use a couple half cinder blocks. Good work, & enjoy!

[@graxjpg]

Realistically, it doesn’t matter

[@asdfjkl981]

2:08 you should lay the blocks with an offset so that there is no X shaped cross joint but T shaped joints.

[@aspprock]

Fortunato brabo marretando na finalera🔨🔨🔨☝☝☝💥💥💥

[@jakethesk8roberts763]

Man this is 15 mins away from my house I have to check this spot out 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯💯

[@levi-homer]

MORE OF THIS!!

[@BobSchrubbery]

This is crazy, I just started looking into building some diy spots again and a day later this pops up. Fuck yeah

[@unidentifiedwizard3768]

love you guys

[@scottlopez9089]

That crazy I just found a spot and was going to look this up.

[@geoffresmart]

Thrasher an OG for these videos build your own shit rip it up get some

[@prunehead]

This still work as well without the rebar poles drilled in to the floor? You skipped that part so I'm guessing so, but wouldn't it perhaps be less sturdy and secure?

[@pkkaohi1]

Me and homies did it without concrete or rebar Stacked vertical and with just liquid nails. Held up solid until the county knocked em down

[@leet.honeycutt7314]

I too would've liked to see that part. It could teach people too. Not everyone knows this stuff. Good comment-

[@prunehead]

@@pkkaohi1 damn those county council people! But thanks, good to know. All the local diys have been smashed over here in the bit of Northern England where I live. Need to find a new spot soon

[@prunehead]

@@leet.honeycutt7314 ah well. Nobody involved will reply but the commenter above us suggests it'll be fine so just 'effin barge it!

[@wtfkanal9997]

I loved this diy stuff

[@Finalbloodbath]

im from oakland and i skater here on these obstacles like probably over a year ago, i remember hearing something about this spot getting torn out or something, is it still there or was this just filmed a while ago?

[@BenjaminWeiermann]

[@littledoodle5689]

[@poohandtiggger]

Smart idea thrasher

[@AntonioHernandez-cs3vr]

Is there a way to prevent or slow down the rust on the angle iron? i wanna build one of these at my local spot but it doesn’t have a roof and it rains a lot.

[@lurkerlew2136]

[@Crxckd1]

can i do it with 1 row instead of 2 ontop of eachother

[@VestigialHead]

Great to see you guys helping young builders. But there is no way that dry filling cinder blocks will be anywhere near as strong as properly mixed concrete. Not even close.

Lmfao i love how thrasher is implicitly supporting something that the city would otherwise find illegal. 😆 this is fuckin great

[@komoonkh]

Depends on your city. Some cool cities will even help with the place and make it legal. But there arent many of them.

[@mikerphone.]

@@komoonkh that requires asking the city tho... that's not really how this sort of diy stuff really works haha
