Get some rugby post pads for those RSJs. You'd probably have to hollow out the centres a bit to fit, but would do the trick to stop injuries

matt has to be one of the best mountain bike youtubers of this era at the moment. keep it up matthew!

I don’t know why but I’m well excited to see you guys fit the curtain 😂 looks awesome, many hours of riding to come!

I know it would make it a lot more complex and take a hell of a lot longer but would be unreal if the last 2 internal corners you gave them an internal radius and created a half bowl shape, you could also do an external radius on the roller in the middle so it slopes out to the flat and can be ridden from all angles. Would make that whole area flowy and be able to transfer into the spine from different angles 👌🏼

A tip for if you're cutting heaps of timber the same length would be set up a jig/ endstop. That way instead of having to measure every length, you can just slide it up until it stops then go. It'll save heaps of time overall for the amount of time it'll take to set up. Even just clamping a bit of wood will do the job 👍

the step up is a cool idea and you could even have something underneath the new decking

Skate lite is a great surface for ramps, but the 6mm version in particular is really meant as a durable finishing layer. So normally you’d use something like 2 x 9mm ply layers and then 6mm skatelite on top. Running only a 12mm surface with skatelite on would likely be prone to rippling over time, especially if the joists are bigger than 300mm apart. The other issue is that whilst skatelite is durable and water resistant you need to ensure the underlying layers have been sealed to withstand the elements or otherwise the ply layers will just rot under the skatelite. So overall I’d agree that just using plywood makes more sense here, but if you did happen to get a good deal on skatelite please ensure the plywood underneath is well sealed. Note that even if it’s not directly exposed to the elements condensation can still be a source of moisture in a semi-open environment like a barn.

The amount of effort and money the boys and you put into these builds is without a doubt nothing short of amazing. Love the videos.

You should get some rugby post protectors for the iron posts… they’re like upright crash mats!! 😊 great content.

Definitely think about making some sliding doors. As soon as the wind gets up, the curtin will rip off the eyelets.

If your curtain becomes a kite, look at a mesh livestock panel - although it will not be 100% waterproof, it will keep a surprising amount of weather out, lets light in and stands up to the wind better than a solid curtain ( most farms use them on live stock barns to keep the worst of the weather out)

Hey Matt, it’s looking so, so good! What a project! I’m not a mountain biker at all so have no useful suggestions with the design of the rest of the skate park, but have you thought at all about having fixed cameras in the barn for filming videos? Having the roof and the walls could give the potential for great shots and putting any cabling in underneath the wood at this stage could keep it out of the way. Can’t wait to see you guys riding on it :)

If the big curtain doesn't work you might have to do big rolling doors you can push back to the other side of the barn. can sheet them with steel like the rest of the building, might have to do something where its 2 or 3 rolling doors that are staggered

Matt, not sure if you've got plans for the last third of the warehouse but would be sick for those 2 corners to be wrap around quarters! Loving the progress btw, absolute dream backyard skatepark build!

Hats off to Jameson for spending hours on the miter saw!! Honestly love these videos, great work boys!!

Matt and the gang aren't only some of the best mountain bike content creators on this platform, but some of the best content creators full stop. I guarantee people with 0 interest in the sport would find themselves giggling at this channel, and then when you add the dedication and passion. On top of that it's three regular people just having a go, making mistakes and learning. Unreal work team ❤️

more people need to put in effort like this into parks sick buddy keep it up from canada

You may want to consider little cutouts in the curtain to reduce wind load. You see those little smileys in vinyl signs for exactly that purpose. Also, would it be easier to ply the vert-wall from top down to stand on the horizontal pieces as you go? Or perhaps just screw some pieces into the decking to stand on and work upwards.

When cutting radius’s it’s much quicker and cleaner to use a nice circular saw. Also a stop block for your miter saw would save you guys so much time. Just need a an extension either side of the miter saw then screw in a piece of wood at the correct length, it will save you guys so much hassle

I would say the 3 following things: 1- Shorten the spox at the steel beam side by about a foot and leave that as a flat passthrough for excess speed. 2- Make sure you tie the vert wall to the barn cross beams for rigidity and 3- Future build idea - The corner to the right of the vert wall, make a 1/4 high wall bowl :) Love to see what you do next!

A banked (like a bowl) corner next to the giant wall might be interesting. and then flow that into your step up concept.

Epic build! Could always paint the plywood or woodseal/stain it to help preserve it somewhat.

Hey Matt. Build a small roof over hang facing the driveway area about a foot wide all the way down the curtain opening then put your curtain under that so no water comes in through the top of the curtain. Just a thought. Great work guys. Keep it up....LEGENDS !

Epic. Nice wall. Curves and a pump track in the back.

Hi mat and the gang 🤠 love the videos 👍 my only concern is the barn you are building in. The wall sheeting and the roof look lick asbestos!! Really not good to breathe it in 😏

Seriously, what a fantastic job you've all done and you should be very proud. Looking forward to to seeing the finished article.👏🏻

Safety glasses! Protect those eyes! ...and definitely some padding on those steel columns. Sick build!

Matt Ben Jamie. We need a massive video, they just aren’t long enough! Probably the best videos on KZfaq!! Keep it guys.

Step uuuuupppppp!!!! I’ve always wanted to build a step up like you described! Seams perfect for sending tricks off of the resi/airbag! Please build it I would love to see it!!!!!!

For the corner next to the wall and the quarter, perhaps that is where you could fit a half or quarter bowl. Love the videos, keep on going Matt!!

I think it would be cool to ad a rail or a box you can grind or boardslide maybe. Keep up the good work mate, love the vids

Looks great and I hope when the wind gets up the curtain stays up. Can’t wait to see this ridden.

it is a street spine. period. great for learning peg and coping type tricks with the exception of grinds. very nice ramps so far guys. all the thumbs up. 👍

Get caulking, squeeze it out into a pail, and add water till you get a paste like consistency, brush it onto all the edges of the plywood, it will save that wood and will last way longer.

Wishing you all the best screws and rides for 2023

Really like the step area idea dude.. that will really tie it all together and open up a lot of transfers and options for varying speeds . Nice one to all involved.. it's a banger 🤘 *Merry Christmas brahs*

Cannot wait to see the rest of it! Keep smashing it lads! 👏👏👏

cant wait to see the finish project. im on the edge of my seat to see some amazing riding to come in the future

Absolutely loving this! What a wooden wonderland! Sick stuff. 👊😎🤟

Matt you are doing such an amazing job with your content keep it up! Re the curtain my worry is sail area. Your curtain will have a larger area than a trans Atlantic sailing yatch!

just never stop building and riding! it's always amazing!

Auwsome work well done gents happy new year can't wait to see what you have planned for 2023 🥳

Love this man. Me and a couple friends did the same thing in a garage like 15 years ago. Even the same 8foot Quarter pipe with to 5 foot extensions on both sides plus a spin and half pipe and a wall ride.

I love the look of this my pocket I feel like I want to ride it keep up the good work🎉😊

Either in one of the corners or against the long wall there should be a small concrete section. And built into the concrete section there should be a fire place with a metal or stone chimney that can run all the way to the ceiling or a right angle out the back wall. A fireplace with a 6 ft roller over it. Warm n cozy in the winter!

Incredible video as always Matt! Always brings a smile to my face when I see you have dropped a new video. I'm sure you have thought of this as you are clearly very smart, regularly displaying your A-Level (or higher) Maths knowledge, but just make sure that curtain doesn't transform into a huge parachute when the wind gets up!!

Anxious to see the finished product! Cheers!

I’m not even a minute in and there’s already a build lapse I love it

Thank you Matt for the great content keep up the good work and motivation you create for others

You know it’s a good day when Matt posts

Great work, great content. I never comment but felt your effort deserved it! Cant wait to see it come to life!

Step up into a low-ish bowl corner, like 4-5ft quarter. You'll probably find that if you're riding bmx a lot in there, that the smaller stuff gives a nice techy contrast with the huge vert wall and quarters "downstairs". Loving this build series lads, more power to ya. 🤘

I would recommend a street style section for the next area. Maybe a bank/quarter, leading to a pyramid with a ledge/rail, then another bank/quarter at the opposite end?

Looking awesome! You need to garden mesh up the gap at the front door floor and ideally dig it down at least 6in though to keep critters from making this the perfect waterproof home.

Ex bmx racer of the 80s and 90s here... At 50 my knees and shins can't take abuse like they used to so I don't get to ride as much as I like to ...however these vids from Matt has inspired me to ride more mtb slope style..wish we had these bikes in the 80s... damn this is fun.

Awesome project and love the channel. To preserve the wood, I would seriously consider painting the plywood with a grit mixed in the paint like a non skid surface . . . . . On second thought, I wouldn’t want to slide on sandpaper and I don’t imagine you would either lol. Oh well, carry on boys!

Buy yourself some tins of weather shield paint and seal all the cut or end grains of your ply wood and you will be sweet Matt! Killin it

Living the dream. Building what you want to ride. Love it

Marine ply is the go. Much more resistant to water damage. At the opening of the shed, build a verandah about 3m high to provide more shelter and then clad the wall above the verandah. You'd get some sheltered area then for spectators as well.

Looking ace Matt can’t for this to be in full flow use lots of epic shreddies to be had. Good shout with the curtain might worth putting some form of cornice over the top rail of your curtain to try reduce the gap between roof and curtain stopping wind and water coming over. All the best for an epic 2023 🤙

yes boys..that build laps is off the charts..congratulations.. you have created a wall that unites people in joy..that is good job for sure.. happy New season.. 👆👆👆

Best KZfaqr ever and love this series and we need a tour of your farm and your number one fan ❤❤

Love you keep the good work up and keep inspiring us younger people in the would

Personally, think the roller is point less Could have a step up with a quarter/ vert wall after that you can air down in to another 1/4 to a steep jump box! Loving the build and progress!

I’d get that open part of the barn and build a 4 th wall to stop the wood from rotting it would also keep the heat in

Loving the skate park barn build and can't wait to see all 3 of you progress your skate/bmx skills!!! Matt, you should cut a notch out of the 2x4 to mount your jigsaw so you can cut the plywood straight away, instead of drawing a line first

Bet working in there this winter has been like working in Iceland. Especially with that volcano 😂. Matt deffo don’t forget about the damp from underneath. Stop any draught as else it may rot. Cracking place!!! Good job

Matt this content is unreal. Don't forget to name the park.

This is looking so good! Loving this videos.

wow, the design of the building is really cool

Hay Matt ! This all looks amazing 🤩 I would love to do something like this !!!

Great work so far guys. You should put some sort of grind box at the back wall of it would be fun to watch you lern to grind your bmx

Absolutely amazing can’t wait for the next video

Absolutely awesome keep up the amazing work

Year's ago the council painted Newport pagnell skate park bright orange. It was a protective paint of sorts, helps stop the ply falling apart under the stress of being a ramp.

good one boys. Stopped after the water proof bit to wright this. Now you have made a sail. Hope it goes well wind can be easier to deal with then water with some holes and flaps. I think you will be also best to paint the first meter and a bit of ply. rough texture house paint should work well and not be to slipy. good luck.

Step up idea to 2nd level is great idea…try use the space underneath also to get maximum benefit. Need to find somewhere for a rail / box to practice your grinds

Great job guys

I LOVE THE INTRO SONG AND THE BUILD LAPSE SONG I HOPE THEY NEVER CHANGE

the curtain is perfect lol u could even install clear polycarbonate along the top edge of the open wall to serve as a big window that will let light in and run the curtain right underneath it

Dirt jump videos in the pm, workin the ranch in the am 💯💯💯

For someone who's not a professional carpenter, this truly is amazing! I reckon it would be cool if u added a ramp outside the skate park that led into the spox. Just an idea though.

Matt if you want to add some protection to the ply. You could use deck or outdoor furniture oil. My son used it on the kicker ramps he use to sell. We have that’s been laying around the house outside for 12 months and it is still like the day he made it.

For the steel poles use pool noodles and cut a slit in them all the way down and tape them to the bits that would split your knuckles? Keep up the process I’m loving it!

Happy New Year guys !Throwing an idea out there for you to take or not but how bout a bowl section for the back corner with a platform.

Can't wait for it to be finished and watch you guys ride it

ply the wall from the top down, use some timbers and clamps to hold the ply up. Ladders can be used to access the top, your ladders can be secure on the ground if you ply top down.

You guys could clad half top down of that large opening where the curtain is going which would help with weather coming in and provide a bit wind resistance but would also lose light

Build a bowl with a cradle with a flat roof to 90 out to its own outdoor jump line. Next to it a quarter to stand on. Then a staircase on top of the cradle and you can feature off into something below, or just make use of all that vertical space for mad shreddage.

Another awesome video. Just a thought with all that hight you could have another level and drop the floor down underneath it and do something with that space. You definitely need some kind of grind box/stairs/jump box. Keep up the good work.

You've done sone sexy work on that place for someone who "has no idea what they are doing" 🤣 too me it looks like your doing a fine job, and I've "carpentered" a fair amount. Keep at it man!!!!

I’m absolutely loving the build so far! Just throwing it out there, but if you wanted, you could build bowl corners just to keep your flow, maybe even use it as a berm for the step-up feature you want to build

I’m loving these latest build video’s 👍🏼👍🏼

looks great! You are definitely going to wish you had ordered a white translucent curtain... its going to be a cave in there when its pulled to!

Looking SO GOOoOoOD!!!👌🙌

get a flat trampoline park type airbag in the unused space! keep up the good work matt👍

What about some rugby goal post style covers for those RSJ’s? That demonstration of the steel entering your hand made my skin crawl 😂

I'd suggest some huge tarps with eyelets roped together for keeping the rain out. Need a gap somewhere to let the wind through

Cant wait to see this finished looks rad

Well done Matt keep it up an idea for the area still there instead or a step up and keeping it high why not with all the speed you have built up from the vert wall on the way back build a foam pit
