Making A Concrete Ramp At Our DIY Skatepark : Then Skate It

Here is some raw footage of our community pouring a DIY concrete ramp.
There have been many hands involved at our DIY spot, but a big person behind this project was Chris Burke. Our friends at Artisan came out with the truck/pump and shot it. We had help from our friend at Grindline. It could not of happened without all of our friends here in Richmond and surrounding cities that came out to help :) Thanks to every single person who has been contributing to projects like this in the past. I can’t wait to get my hands dirty on the next project with all of you.
Thanks to Pat Lowery for dealing with me putting a camera in his face :) He has always been a huge part of the community here.

It's wet not dusty. Eye protection the only thing really important. And really it won't damage your eyes just burn like a mofo. Concrete finisher 4 years. Also it hurts to watch these guys use their trowels backwards and fail to give it the scraping motion it requires to fill holes like you see here: 7:29 Edit: to add time-stamp

@MrKlukie 3 жыл бұрын

@@RandoManFPV I believe that it's wet, but is there still no risk of inhalation? I'm obviously uneducated here, but it looks like a fine mist filling the air that would require you to wear a respirator. Is this not the case?

@RandoManFPV 3 жыл бұрын

@@MrKlukie man I'm from Arkansas and I've never done Shotcrete. Ill tell you rn that the companies that provide the mix/equipment or labor will tell you that you have to wear one. But if I were doing it I'd be this guy too. No mask no special P.P.E. but that just how I roll, I finish regular concrete bare foot, grabbing what needs grabbed with my bare hands, whereas most people tell you, "oh don't let that get on your skin it'll chemical burn you". Idk man maybe I'm a dummy but that's just how I learned to work, and by having that mentality of "don't be a puss just get in there and man your way through" I outwork most around me

Sick video! Love how much footage you have of the building process. From the shot creteing, rough leveling with the quarter pipe template, finishing the concrete, final screed. Great for others that want to do a diy put dont know the process. Would love to see a video of excavation,forming up and tieing the rebar. Inspirering stuff!

It doesn't look like ice cream at all. Bwahahaaaha! All joking aside, this was an excellent video. Great vibe. Great content. The spirit and feel of skateboarding. Just got back from skating a concrete park. As always, my son and I skated up we busted enough to give up and go home. On Monday, he starts summer skate camp. He's 8 and this year's goal is to drop in on some bigger stuff at the park. Daddy's goal is to stay alive.
