*I posted this here as well because Idk how often people check the "How To" section and I really am excited to show people this lol. I'll erase this thread if necessary, please direct any questions in the How To thread and I'll be happy to answer them!*

Thanks!!

nice i love building my own obstacles and people who do the same question, would it be smart to do the foam and concrete to make a ledge (tired of using just wood and plastics).

Yeah you can easily do foam+concrete to make ledges, just throw some epoxy on the edges to "wax" it for better grinding, then add actual wax to it to make it even more buttery

alright man thankyou just made a woooden vista-ish ledege and want to do concrete next but i want to get better craftsmanship so i think i might make another tomorrow

No prob dude! Feel free to post pics here of your ledge when you're done!

just finish use modge podge gloss sealer, wood glue and some grey paint. Sanded it down to get a worn skate spot look but it look trashy. Want get better sanding skills and leave it in the vise longer so the glue doesnt push the wood up and warp the top.

you send the wheels?

i am in the process of figuring out how to build a fingerboard park for my local skatepark ( indoors ) but the kids there use tech decks with real skate board grip tape on them - and think darkslides are still a cool trick

so basicly im going to have to build something bomb proof - im wondering how the longevity of a styrophome concrete covered park will hold up to being used by people who do not respect what went in to making the park.

sooo you just cut out something in styrophone, and then paint it with "concrete paint"?

i thought you had to mix cement etc

nvm

Yeah that's a tough one, if it's going to be a more permanent park you might want to consider making it mostly out of cement? My park probably wouldn't last as long in those situations but one thing I wish I would have done different is mix more of this post-setting cement in the guy's mixture that helped me, because that is really strong cement (it's what you would use if you were installing a basketball hoop). If I had 2 layers of that instead of just one I think my park would be a little stronger.

This park is seriously awesome I want to make one but i think i'm only good at making bowls

This is really cool! I love the replicas!

Carlsbad gap replica was amazing.



Make El Toro, dude.
