This series needs more love. Definitely going to be recreating that one

[@Williambubbles]

Any time you use a power saw, wear breathing protection! Your lungs can’t dispose metal/concrete dust! Great video, good job maintaining skate parks. You guys are awesome!

[@JohnDoeTube]

More of this please

[@dthenihilist4926]

I helped build a bit of this spot back in 2017. Josh is very friendly and just an awesome person to be around. If you’re in San Fran, stop by Treasure Island, plenty to see and do

[@LowEndMarauder]

Elissa's hurricane to fakie was sick

[@kus88]

[@bioskates8788]

This is awesome for the skateboarding community

[@cyruspharmarquez5072]

Da best series. Keep helping people with building

[@kus88]

yo that hurricane to fakie from elissa was sick

[@Tommyandersonskateboard]

Amazing! This kind of spine is one of the best obstacles a skate spot can have, so much fun! Thanks for sharing guys, keep it up 🙌🛹🙏

[@angelokefalas3750]

I keep watching these over and over! We need more DIY! 👊🔥🤘

[@Clayton_Graul]

You guys are ruling with these tutorials

[@XvallorX]

I will build this in my hometown in Poland. Thanks Austin! Thanks Thrasher!

[@rockbandgamer]

God damn something about these videos just leaves you feeling fulfilled

[@ToppyJones]

[@finncaldwellstanton1949]

[@825devsk8]

[@Twobarpsi]

[@jackrevell4504]

Love Austin! This is so beneficial for all generations... Fuck yeah Austin

[@b.sunnyortiz]

What a spot! 😍

[@felixluciani9098]

Yeah the spine is great and happy to see yall getting involved in such projets thats cool On the other hand isnt the location in the park odd in a way i mean one way of the spine is facing the park and the other is like 4 meters away from a metal fence isnt it weird to get away from it into a wall ? Keep going guys

[@roryedmonds439]

Most likely building a ramp along the fence later, is my thought

[@TheRecordLibrary]

Elissa rules

[@gaberobinson1555]

great fun!

[@michaelmcgraw4888]

Creating a DIY with friends is the funnest thing in the world

[@maartenderyck1]

we got a little piece of land and a small budget from my town to make our own park. can't wait to start building again with the homies in march !

[@BCreative12]

Elisa is so cute! 💖

[@HaZzArD14k]

This shit was tight, keep it up !!!

[@MikeyHazel13]

Skreet it out, keep trowling it….I think homie just made up these words but I am here for it 🙌 I wasn’t even looking at the screen when he said these things yet somehow I knew exactly what he meant 😂

[@benboas9592]

more episodes!!!

[@drewphifer4684]

It would be nice to know the cost of these projects. Like supplies, manpower needed, and time to complete

[@GiftedUplifted]

These are DIY projects so the only cost would be for your concrete as everything else was salvaged and he had friends help him build it hope that helps

[@violentangel]

I NEED A SHIRT WITH THE THRASHER DIY LOGO!!!! Please start making those

[@HellsGateVIP]

Best tutoss

[@skatehobbit]

Yeah louie and elissa with the most steeze!!

[@frankie3351]

Yeah Louie!

[@urbanum-design]

Nice 😀

[@nervousbreakdown1108]

what slump concrete did you use?

[@leopabe]

I could watch hours of that crew session

[@swansaholic]

sick

[@jacobjennings6251]

I used to skate and I do construction now, it would be awesome to be apart of one of these builds

[@dslhernandez3001]

🔥

[@weinersmalls5684]

we can put dirt in the fill? between cinderblocks or rocks and the top pour?

[@weinersmalls5684]

hello?

[@TheDealer1228]

Yes, they were adding dirt into their fill. I would guess to help pack out the crevices a bit more.

[@jonahnewt4412]

Louie and tony!!!!!!!!

[@Catwulf]

love this shit

[@chadkarecki9496]

I get what you are trying to do with this and its great to get people out making skate stuff, but yea ignore everything they say if you live in places where freeze thaw is a factor... You need to dig bellow frost, and pour a footing first. You want compacted stone for fill. Also you need way more than 3" of concrete more like 6". You need to drill into the surrounding concrete to anchor the new concrete. You need a lot of rebar. If you make it like they do all your hard work will be for nothing as mother nature will turn your spine into rubble after a winter. Also for the love of god wear an N95 mask if you have to cut concrete. Silicosis is real and not reversible.

[@GiftedUplifted]

you do know this is a DIY skate park, Could potentially get torn down at some point, this happened in my city of Charlotte. I’ve been a Mason for over 10 years and this is more than suffice for what they are trying to accomplish

[@alisterles201]

Austin is the best

[@andreaskramer4375]

Advice for all the beginners: You really dont need a generator to cut metal, just a cordless angle grinder (battery driven)

[@130world1]

♡

[@jeppemejer3055]

🤘🤘

[@sherpa6071]

Hey! Wear some steel toed boots if you can get 'em. Sick video boys

[@mrzoom214]

Steezy

[@davoisla]

😌🙌🏽

[@starrealm2621]

people in Hinesville GA need to watch this because their skateparks suck lol

[@p.o.662]

More

[@vancouverbill]

If the coping just sits on the concrete instead of being welded to rebar or other supports, wouldn't it bounce lose once people skate it?

[@diamondavey]

its a big pole, cover it in pva whilst finishing the concrete.

[@wasnt_it]

the pipe has steel support legs running to the ground - made of angle iron

[@vancouverbill]

@@wasnt_it okay sick thanks

[@lindseskinner9024]

Order your mud at like a 3 slump if it's hot out 3 and a bit

[@mattrag4988]

I’ve always wanted to skate with Louie Barletta haha

[@sirdabzmcgee]

Nice spin but, straight into a fence is not ideal lol. Feel like you have to powerslide out every time or send it the other way.

[@theaterthug7]

Should of used a quickie saw you cut the concrete easier. Forgot to mention the psi strength on the concrete. Great video overall though 👍

[@user-tg5tj5ez5f]

スケボーダーは、大工作業も出来ると望ましい❤

[@mobilityscooter0095]

Unsolicited info but if you get cracks in your hardened concrete, its probably due to moisture loss while curing which causes the concrete to shrink. Prevent this by covering the wet concrete with some damp towels in the first 24 hours

[@igotlobsterhands]

When working with concrete dust chipping or cutting make sure you wear a respirator. Silica dust isn't something to fuck with

[@AsiaticKlassic]

It’s smarter to use the truck IMO. So you and your homies can have more time to shred it before the place get demolished for whatever reason. It happened to us twice.

[@MegaAppl3]

Fuck Yeah

[@TheOneHundredPercent]

👍🏼👍🏼

[@SergLegit]

T-Island!

[@motiv8nsk8]

Dope ass process to watch but is there anyway you'd do like a d.i.y. spine out of say cinder blocks and a curb? Something more attainable for the common-dude

[@user-kd8mh7wh1g]

🤙rade

[@JuanMorales-bv7qr]

All you need is 100 bags of concrete and an industrial cement mixer

[@sctim123]

I bet Austin shapes good surfboards

[@danieltenochordazmolina8132]

Holaaaaaaaaaaaaaa saludos jejeje :)

[@mattnuevo6334]

That was cool when you “screte it”, but you could always just screed it instead. Thanks for at least getting closer to proper concrete work than previous videos. We all have to start somewhere, but there’s no reason to teach bad work techniques.. and tell Yoshi to put on a respirator when cutting.

[@O.Ez8]

No we're not
