Building A DIY Skatepark & Then...

I met up with @SeanEnuks to build a DIY Skate Spot! This was our first attempt at building a DIY Skatepark for the community, unfortunately it didn't end as planned. But it's always about the process, not the final product. We'll keep building!

Hammer Drill with the biggest bits possible. Can rent them from Home Depot. Drill a couple holes in the Crete and then smash it and bing bang boom you’ll be at the dirt in no time!!

[@JustDevon]

My town has no skatepark, so my friend and I have a ledge and flatbar we skate in a car park, but today, I finally started laying concrete on a DIY spot I found. We’re gonna keep it very low key because we don’t wanna lose it. Luckily it’s hidden on a dirt road near a forest. Definitely inspired by your and Sean’s videos

[@ZackDowdy]

That sounds ideal!! Stoked to hear it.

[@WOSKA.]

almost same bro we have diy skatepark but no scooters alowed and me and friend started it

[@billclinton3010]

So where is it

[@benjamincounter1285]

Any update?

[@arc-sd8sk]

how'd it go?

[@Immorethanme]

That was heartbreaking ending.

[@ZackDowdy]

💔

[@SeanEnuks]

Better luck for us next time 😆

[@ZackDowdy]

They blocked us this time, but we'll be back!

[@memorysometimers3067]

For the bricks you need a special hammer and a piece of rubber or even a Chun knife of wood to give the bricks a smack every time you lay one down into the glue. Couple smacks squeezes the gaps together to where they need to be. 🦾🇨🇦

[@memorysometimers3067]

Holy moly. That’s like a nightmare came true!! Son of B*****!

[@joshuadugan1931]

The whole reason Shawn moved to the USA is to build a new slab DIY park with Zack. They are just being humble. 🙏 The two best DIYers in the game!

[@angelokefalas3750]

Damn that sucks! Not even one session. That pole jam launch ramp was so badass! Was definitely looking forward to seeing that. Keep bringing the Heat! 👊🔥🤘

[@CJRussell]

I love what you’re doing with the DIYs Zack, and you’re collabing with all my favorite skatetubers

[@ecarbajal619]

Dude I love your content. I watch every single video you post!!

[@charleslebourhis9641]

I love your positivity! I’m sure you’ll have a really nice diy spot... you and Sean are a really good combo

[@thejoe_snotbombsskateboarding]

I love these bro!!! I've been working 2 yrs on my DIY park, its FINALLY coming together! Keep up the Awesome work bro!

[@LeonPaxton]

So sick to see you and Sean linking up for a DIY collab! But damn that end result was devastating! Looking forward to seeing the next spot you guys work on though 🙌🏽

[@wurm6635]

your channel has been so inspiring. Keep up the videos, even just watching you build is fun.

[@jamesshepard4743]

Daammn , so bummed !!! That spot had potential and was looking sick!!!

[@sirjustis]

Dude, i love your channel, vibe and outlook!

[@x-hunter1965]

The way you shoot and film these are amazing man. I love it 😀 😍. So much enjoyable to watch when you put in this effort

[@XSProgression]

Sick video! Bummer ending but that kicker pole jam looked really sick! Would love to skate something like that!

[@Officialbruvboy]

Can’t wait to hear more about the skate park man 🔥

[@Officialbruvboy]

Man it looked so cool they really took it out that fast 🥲 hopefully y’all can find a new place to make spots at 🎉

[@darkmagician6688]

This channel always shows true growth through skating and that's beautiful

[@dizzlebeatz5774]

Congrats on the journey, the dream project is coming your way keep searching areas or free land 😎✌💯💯💯💯

[@KyleAndersonSkates]

aw man! that's unfortunate! was excited to see the clips go down on the kicker jam but it is what it is. onto the next one!!!

[@FRIGIDBASTARDS]

8:13 yall caught

[@ThatPrestige]

man i love sean cant wait for more collab content

[@maxwellharmon4172]

this one is awesome!! I know its a bummer they took it out but look how far you've both come with your skills. Its sick you and a couple homies put this together in ONE day. Its a double sided ledge, kicker, and pool jam combo. basically a mini park...in one day! Keep killin it dude! Maybe make a vid were you just google earth and travel around to a bunch of different locations looking for new spots. that would be cool! Im in the last week of my semester and ive got your animation/ animated alphabet of old english really close to completion. I'll send it to you soon! love

[@davejs1671]

That would have been a sick spot. One thing on the ledge, If you turn the bottom row of blocks 90° from the top (long ways) you end up with a much stronger ledge with less splitting at the joints.

[@TheBlueBops]

Top quality content! Well skated 🤟🏻

[@myhousehaswheels]

Nice. Your videos keep getting better and better dude.

[@ZackDowdy]

Appreciate it brotha!!

[@dondaebooter2871]

Damn bro, keep ur heads up g, make another pole jam like that tho, I really wanna see u shred it.

[@flux_time]

No shit i love watching Sean dude is dope.

[@MaLaCoiD]

Would love to see some features at Alamosa Park. There's a nice flat slab. Could do a kicker. Needs a ledge and a curb.

[@ZackDowdy]

You can do it!

[@LuisSanchez-sb2me]

Me and my boys built a skate ledge at our spot today, thanks for the tips Zack

[@alejandrodegryse6799]

Hey dude i see you working the cement with the shovel as a quick tip i would say Maybe look for a mix tip bar you can put on a lightweight screwdriver. Love your channel

[@jaym6466]

Helty drill will go right through and give you circular brace points with concrete added

[@raffyredchilli]

beautiful

[@pablopanesso1057]

The dream duo

[@vulturebrain5123]

No biggie I enjoyed the video and I been watching Enuks so i subbed and I’m pumped to see what’s next

[@proparolla]

Keep going bud!

[@JnaDayy]

Did anyone else notice the guy in the red shirt in the background? Must’ve been the rat who called

[@cybervehicle]

YO that sweatshirt is dope

[@miko_nba7510]

Love from Poland

[@oldschoolgoblin]

What wheels are on your board your sitting on at the end ?

[@spookycrossaint5519]

I live in a community in the middle of the Arizona desert , I'm tryna find a sweet spot to set up a diy skate spot for everyone casue I've seen some kids skating and I wanna build a park so we all can come together and shred . just today I found cinder blocks that were laying around as trash cause hhomes are being build and scrap wood and lots of poles so I'm gonna take advantage of this and build as soon as I can when I find a good solid and big concrete slab

[@whatmemories3728]

BUMMER!

[@JashAnon]

this is the same shit that drives me to skate street

[@matthewtarango3691]

I would of secured a u clamp where the pipe meets the foundation so it won’t eventually pop up and crack the concrete overtime

[@lukemacleod7862]

Ayy it's my boy sean!

[@spinningaroundincircles]

You remind me so much of Scotty Cranmer for some reason with you’re voice and calmness! Anyways great vid and keep shredding!

[@misfitmike1952]

Facts

[@sebdob9708]

Id love to see you guys go find a pool and skate together. I wanna small edit of the builders skating

[@pappythe1st]

how do you even find these spots

[@nosegrind]

Damn thats a bummer....they were quick to remove it!

[@olivierparadis6419]

the beat at the beginning made me restart the vid 4-5 time before watching the whole vid :P

[@flavalav6757]

Just poured my first little diy bank/QP up to a down ledge. I haven’t skated it, today would have been the first day it was all dry but it’s raining :(

[@ZackDowdy]

Love that!

[@BigJim_909]

Trying to find me a spot in my town! It’s hard though here. I’ll find one!

[@nagelmac77]

So I will say I really enjoyed the kicker pole jam idea, but was more impressed that at the end of your video you had Sean’s Chanel tagged on the screen. 95 percent of KZbinrs just say link in bio.

[@Ken_McLean]

👍🏻🔥🔥🔥

[@bobisbob9876]

I love the DIY videos sooo much but a sad ending

[@bryanhernandez2769]

Damn this sucks I was so excited to check it out in person. I know where this spot is at

[@nathanieleckert4171]

Where is it?

[@F.S.H.O.]

Dang that sucks, I wanted to see pole jam ramp clips

[@cabaiste]

Shame, that ramp jam looked great!

[@ZackDowdy]

I really want to build one now!

[@zeldekaketchum3707]

Always break your forms before leaving the job and “rub” your faces! (The sides)

[@ifell3]

So gutted for this and never getting to use that launch pole jam.

[@raulflores1019]

What's crazy is that cities and even individual property owners will do ANYTHING other than to let anyone use the land they are letting sit empty.

[@intransition8548]

That neighbor was faster calling the city than Trump saying "it's fake news".

[@sebdob9708]

Such a shame, that pole jam looked so fun

[@andrewmondro2102]

that sucks. i just built a ledge the other week, and the next day it was gone.

[@shxxps8734]

Can you get a skate park built there that’s a perfect spot 💔

[@matlabatt]

The karen that turned you in is in the video in the back when yall are building. She is wearing pink.

[@BonzerMrT]

Went to a secret spot the other day and found one of those DIY ledges. It was sick to see people coming in and out from there and keeping it Lowkey

[@ZackDowdy]

I bet!! Those are the best vibes

[@skater_scott]

DAMN! I feel defeated an I didn't do anything!

[@mathewharmer478]

Government departments take a long time to build skate parks keep your committee going

[@therealdohos2607]

lol

[@komoonkh]

I felt pissed off in the end of the video. I know that feeling, happened to me a few times. Looks like the people who destroy it are even more stealth than people who build. Strange.

[@MWA78]

I hate cities that act like that! In a lot of places now you haven't made it as a citie until you have a skate park. North Alabama just got 2 new skate park and a 3rd in Huntsville being built right now. So that's 3 within an hour of each other. Also, these new skate parks are not discriminatory to bikes and or scooters. Which was so in the 80s &90s!

[@genzexus4833]

8:13 Dude in the back in red is looking really sus.. -__-

[@ZackDowdy]

True! I talked to him, I guess that's where he goes to use the bathroom. His employer didn't supply one, wild.

[@boneless4799]

That's what i was thinking!

[@genzexus4833]

​@@ZackDowdy Loose ends man, loose ends. Peeps be talkin.

[@shanewilliams6077]

2 guarantees about concrete... its gunna get hard and its gunna crack

[@thehunter1102]

Bro that’s so sad

[@zankelley]

you could just buy some property...you know...then do whatever you want.

[@dylanpratko7556]

I don’t understand that there’s not enough skate parks around and people are making skateboarding almost illegal especially street skating because people don’t understand it but the thing that doesn’t make any sense is why are the city destroying a skate spot just because somebody built it they worked hard on that and the city just goes in destroys it it’s not like it’s on private property or on anything that’s being used it shouldn’t be there right to go and destroy some thing that is not theirs there should be a law about this

[@0_man533]

POV: You came from the TikTok

[@cam6532]

I city will wipe a whole spot clean and not do anything with the slab every except let it fall apart and nature take it over the only reason they are maintained is because of skaters.

[@Zeke316]

Your DIY ledge is way to short btw

[@dylanpratko7556]

No I wouldn’t just except things for how they are if I was you I would go to the city myself and put a complaint out on them and threaten to sue them then maybe they will stop destroying skate spots

[@christianflores]

wooooow. that's so wack.

[@hamentcheese7972]

who else came from tiktok?
