PRO TIP; Wear a REFLECTIVE VEST and dress like construction workers. Nobody will look twice! My buddies and I did this for years fixing up skate spots dressed as road/construction workers. Just wear jeans, boots, regular tshirt, and reflective vest and you're good. I once fixed a spot at a court house/sheriffs office and got away with it in broad daylight. This is how I also get away with doing graffiti, they think I'm cleaning the paint off rather than adding more lol. GOOD LUCK and have fun!

Good pro tip

[@cinemasnitch3959]

its so funny how you feel like they are about to rob a bank but in reality they are making the area a better place for all walks of life. Skateboarding is beautiful.

[@seanylewl]

Don't mistake what they've done here as a public service. In a year that runway will be so cracked and gnarly it will be a death trap for normal people walking down those stairs. It will need to be fixed at the city's expense. They did it for the spot - which don't get me wrong, I am 100% for - but it is not at all a positive addition to the community.

[@exactlywhatisaid]

@@seanylewl look how fucked up it was already, do you think that was safe for the handicapped? they definitely improved it and even if it's only temporary it's still positive. the city was clearly neglecting it already

[@debomb721]

@@seanylewl thanks for saying that, i think that some people have rose tinted glasses when looking at skateboarding. Do what you gotta do to get the trick, don’t be too much of an asshole, but don’t lie to yourself and others that you’re making an improvement for others. Only time I’d argue that is if a space is used for absolutely nothing then skaters come and make it a spot, that way the area isn’t a waste. That might be the case in this vid

[@cinemasnitch3959]

@@debomb721 considering that it was a random narrow pathway of the normal path to a small set of stairs I think its safe to assume that was the case.

[@jordanperlmutter515]

Commenters saying that these guys are saving the city money and improving the sidewalk are maybe giving these dudes too much credit. They improved the spot for skaters temporarily but that half-assed cement patching with no reinforcing isn't going to last very long until it starts cracking and spalling off. Also they look super sketchy laying concrete in the middle of the fucking night with headlamps lol. Just go to the spot on a Tuesday morning with some reflector vests and hard hats and dirty jeans. Literally nobody will bother you. Cops don't know the maintenance schedule for every sidewalk in the city. Heck, you could even bring a wheel barrow or rent a mixer instead of using whatever the fuck those bags are. Also, those are bags of cement, not concrete. Concrete is a mixture of cement, sand, aggregate, and water.

[@TheOneHundredPercent]

👍🏽👍🏽

[@thee-wastegamer4044]

for youtube comment viewers: dont fuck around with fast setting concrete. this is not the regular shit the city uses for sidewalks. inhaling it even a little burns pretty bad so ive personally always worn a respirator or cover your nose, recommend always wear gloves. just dont play around with it, be a professional about it this is not romper room stuff. google quicklime burns.

it's good for the community and is a great project to do with your buddies or can just come in handy to know how to do later on. a few hours of work is totally worth it to be able to session a spot for the foreseeable future

[@texasBMXer]

A trick may last 2 seconds as a clip. But there is so much more to a clip than that. Now they have a spot with a great hilltop view that they can session for hours. Also, imagine how much you could skate that thing if it was right down the street from your house.

The amount of time you would put into this you could be updating your resume and/or looking for a job. Try paying your mom a little rent to help with the bills. I mean you're almost 30 and you have no ambition in life. All you do is smoke weed and skateboard. Try co-existing on this planet and making a meaningful contribution to life instead of leeching off of others.
