[parklongboard91]

nice one old shredder!!

[thekidmojo]

Do you still skate that? can i have it?? haha

[oldskater]

@thekidmojo I still skate it, almost every day. Just last Friday I had a 3 hour skate session with a friend of mine, 100% on the box!

[thekidmojo]

@oldskater Sick did you learn any new tricks on it?

[oldskater]

@thekidmojo I learned to do a bs 50-50 straight on, up and over style. I hadn't done that one before. There is a video coming out soon...

[thekidmojo]

@oldskater Sick



[TLskates]

It's cool seeing an older guy being able to do these tricks.

[SundaySkateboards]

if i was to see him in person i never would of known he skated like this.

[skatebooter]

Holy shit that looks so cool

[MiniRampartSK8ER]

awsome stuff im a subscriber but at 3:03 a dog barks or a woman gets off

[shawnscootzz]

what r the demansions of your half pipe

[oldskater]

@shawnscootzz It is 4 feet tall, 8 feet wide. I don't remember how long but it's somewhere aroung 25 feet total including the 2 four foot decks.

[shawnscootzz]

@oldskater oh thnx cuz im making oone soon but i scooter so i need more of a lip and yours seemed perfect

[oldskater]

@shawnscootzz I know nothing about what a scooter needs for a half-pipe. The one I have would be perfect with another 2 feet of flatbottom and another 4ft wide...

[shawnscootzz]

@oldskater here type this in just so you understand why i scooter and thanks man so much i finnaly have an idea for a half pipe .....ryan williams web edit 2 once again thnx

[doubletacotaco]

nice! how much did the welding cost?

[oldskater]

@doubletacotaco The welder only charged me $100, which included all the metal and the work welding and cutting.

[1skateNZ]

i would love to have that box . :L

[Mon08Kat]

o your skating on a big brick

[oldskater]

@Mon08Kat What design should I do when it's time to replace the wood?

[Prototype7Vx]

@oldskater I would go for something plain and on the side just sticker it up with brands and stuff

[DavidHasSteeze]

impressivee

[oldskater]

@DavidHasSteeze Thanks! Even after 2 1/2 years of use/abuse the box is still rockin. I haven't even replaced the top layer of wood! Great design!

[Thomas9004p]

This video makes me feel happy.

[Sonnyscooter]

[oldskater]

@walde4 Thanks! My crooks are a lot better now, check out some of my other vids. The box is around 70-80 lbs.

[xxV1P3R]

P-Rod

[ShaneThompsonTv]

I'd tail slide that....... I'd tail slide the crap out of that

[oldskater]

@ShaneThompsonTv; If I had a good tailslide, I would! I have trouble getting up on there and sliding. Maybe I'll start working on that one...

[angeloabante]

man your a true skater

[MrSLAMMscoot]

Nice box dude

[ElementiouzZ]

Nice Box, can you please send me the Plans? I want to build one too :)

[NiceDayG]

[oldskater]

@NiceDayG That's funny!

[oldskater]

I will totally send you the plans, just let me know what e-mail address to send it to

[NiceDayG]

@oldskate no i asked why didn't you use real bricks ?

[estechban]

[ChrisG4620]

[oldskater]

@ChrisG4620 It's actually time for me to replace the top wood, maybe a new pattern this time...

[Russty318]

[m4ttc0bb]

[oldskater]

@m4ttc0bb Total cost of about $130, that included the paint.

[CRTLProductions]

[shadowtheif777]

[GeneralTechDeck]

that wasnt even the right manual the tail hit the ground wow

[chronicalsofgnarlia]

[oldskater]

@chronicalsofgnarlia AGREED!

[VictorLarsenTV]

Nihahaice

[JavinDeNoyaSkates]

that is awesome!!

[TheiPhoneAppMaster]

Thats the sickest box ive ever seen, how much was the metal cuz i wanna make myself a box but i dunno if i shu do wat u did or use 2x4s

[haQzigs]

maaaan. i wish you could adopt me :)

[daewonskate]

im making a box like this tell me what you think of the sizes though!

10" high 12" wide and 4 ft long :)

[oldskater]

@daewonskate 10" is a great height, this one is EXACTLY 12". 12" wide is way to narrow, you could boardslide that! and 4 ft is pretty short too. I did 5' with this box so I could easily fit it in the back of my Volvo wagon.

[daewonskate]

@oldskater lol i biult mine already ahhahaahhaaa since that comment i built it, its preetty cool, i can boardslide it ( though i dont really) its fun and relly nice to 5050 and stuff

[MrOso93]

Nice vid :) what type of metal is that? Thanks

[mrilikeskateboards]

Thats sweet man, i just got the ledge i built like a year back of one of my friends but i made mine with a wooden frame and plywood then some metal capping over the top but ive got a shed now and im gettin tools so i might start buildin some more stuff :D

[LakaiSkater8]

This is awesome man!

[oldskater]

@LakaiSkater8 Thanks! It's awesome that it has 46,000+ views!

[livetoridedelta]

loyal dog

[jamesdunn96]

This is tydeyy! 

[HardStyleGames]

nice mini ramp

[littleC1RCALMOSTfan]

Nice crook man! :D and I'm liking the sick pattern! :) how old are you btw? ;p

[oldskater]

@littleC1RCALMOSTfan Thanks, sort of. That was a pretty lame crook, I have learned the the proper way since this video. This is almost 2 years old now... Box is still the same though! 40!

[dodgergril16]

thats sweet

[dodgergril16]

thats sick 

[oldskater]

@skatercr33ps I'll definitely have to do that, great idea! I'm due for replacing the wood anyway, it's getting pretty hammered.

[CoDBlackOpsWatcher]

Instead of waxing your grind rail..

Can you wax your skates/skateboard instead?

[oldskater]

@CoDBlackOpsWatcher Definitely. I do that all the time.

[XxTurboxSK83RX]

how dont u go through the wood how did u support it??

[oldskater]

@XxTurboxSK83RX Look at the diagram in the beginning, and on the bottom in a circle you will see that there is a metal bar welded on the inside of the top of the frame on all 4 sides, kind of like a little shelf that supports the wood on all 4 sides. In the video you can get a good look at this support on frame 0:33.

[XxTurboxSK83RX]

@oldskater i didnt see that thanks!

[TrendyKidSki]

that box is hooked up so phat! I'd love skate that once my ankle heals.

[oldskater]

@TrendyKidSki Thanks! It's still in perfect shape. I think I might need to change out the wood though, any ideas what I should paint it like? I can do anything... with my airbrush anyway.

[skaterforlife18237]

awesome box man!

[20sonic1]

do you like skating or do you not

[FDLscoot]

I bet its heavy as shit

ahahah

[sk8likeananimal04]

Sick box and skating!

[xophelorak]

nice ledge, I am also an old skater, looking up box plans and ideas for my backyard skatopia : ) big up oldskater!

[Hectorrskates]

this amazing. how much did you spend to make it?

[oldskater]

@Hectorrskates $100 to the welder and about $30 more for the wood and paint.

[cmollfulleda]

when did you start skating?

[oldskater]

@cmollfulleda I can't remember, my memory is failing.

[29HOCKEYDUDE]

how old are u

[mattyboyz16]

cooolest 40 yEAR OLD EVER!!!! skate for life!!! for real man

[clomarum]

fico muito legal



[blondyboyzrok1]

thats so perfect. howd u find the welders? i might do this

[oldskater]

@blondyboyzrok1 The welders are actually people that I know, The box is still holding up REALLY well btw, LMK if you want the plans.

[blondyboyzrok1]

@oldskater jw whered u get the metal? could u get that at like home depot or something or is it somewhat special?

[oldskater]

@blondyboyzrok1 The people who did the welding, repaired my fence around the pool in the backyard. It's 2"bar stock for fencing. It's hollow, but VERY strong. I've never looked at Home Depot, but I think this welder had it just laying around, that's why I got it so cheap.

[lilrabbit97]

why ure name is old skater how old are you ?

[oldskater]

@lilrabbit97 I'll be 40 in 2 weeks, son!

[lilrabbit97]

@oldskater r its good to see a skateboarding father ure kids must be lucky wish my father was a skater and for how many years have you been skateboarding ?

[oldskater]

@lilrabbit97 I've been back skating since 2002. I didn't skate much as a kid, but can't say that I never did. I wasn't any good at all when I was younger, I gave up too quickly.

[ShawnGameTV]

It would be a shame to see someone grind on that awesome box.

[PaRcGweLLyNSk8R]

lol, i saw that pop manny tail scrape

[injuremyself]

old dude steez, nice krook

[TheShoeSex]

@oldskater

dude, it would be so awesome if you sent me the pdf. file

I've decided to make a box of my own and currently planning on a Pallete based box, but I saw your model and its so perfect, so I'd like to view the plans to help me decide.

Thanks in advance,

TR

[papeleup]

Nicee i am making a big metal skate box too i upload it too when it is ready

mine is height: 40 cm lenght: 250 cm width: 43 cm

[thefishmongerman]

can i buy one of you for $140

[oldskater]

@thefishmongerman Not for sale. How would I ship it anyway? Shipping would actually cost more than making one...

[pepekwan]

@oldskater hey how much did it cost to get the frame wielded

[oldskater]

@pepekwan I believe I said $100 in the video, if not, then $100. That was the cost of labor and materials for the welded frame.

[oldskater]

20,000 views, wow... I guess I should do more skate obstacle designing.

[oldskater]

@oldskater 40,000 views! What??? Dang...

[Aksuu1]

paska video!

[EnsidiaBMX]

@Aksuu1

Haha : D Suomi ftw!

[spatsk8ters]

[tcottarel]

[oldskater]

@tcottarel Exactly, yes. If any of you want the plans, just ask. I can send you the pdf file shown at the beginning.

[tcottarel]

@oldskater thatd be awesome. i PMed u with my email

[ASkateOfMind]

[coy9r]

[MattCurtice]

THat is wicked NICE :) good work dude

[pablopenguin24]

sick

[edgar1213]

thats so sweeeeet

[DGKman105]

dude sry but i can frekin tre of that and i am like 12

[Skates2Much1]

@DGKman105 Who cares? Hes just showing you his box, its not a contest.

[oldskater]

@Skates2Much1 Thanks, you got my back!

[PeterGratrex]

I like the unconventional approach to building this, it gets the mind wirring as to what's possible! Certainly the weight to the box will give more confidence to hit it harder & not have anything playing on your mind such as 'will it break' or 'will it move'.

[davidskate916]

it looks hella heavy

[oldskater]

@davidskate916 It's definitely not light. But I can move it around with out too much difficulty. It's good that it's so heavy, it stays put better that way.

[thewallsofjerico]

would it work with a wood frame

[oldskater]

@thewallsofjerico You'd have to redesign it a bit to allow for coping or angle iron.

[ZaborKs]

that is soooo sickk

[Cheezey661]

Tony hawk!lol

[werewew12]

looks short, subscribe to me

[oldskater]

@werewew12 Dude, how many times do I have to say it? Size doesn't matter...

[PeterGratrex]

@oldskater Tell that to your next date and see how far you get ;)

[Rickyjr32]

sweet dude

[MrNeedacc]

PRFECT !

[joriel360]

im not a skater but its a decent box...

[oldskater]

@sk8er4lifedowork Thanks! I totally agree, it is a great box, and even after a year of hard skating is still just as good as it was brand new. And yes, I can 360 flip, check out some of my other videos.

[IcyNit]

@oldskater should tottaly do up your mini

[hskate98]

sick!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ApplecrispKLC]

how much was the welding

[oldskater]

@ApplecrispKLC the welder only charged me $100 that included the 2" barstock and the welding to my plans.

[victoraceves]

so sick

[madmedia370]

Damn

[madmedia370]

damn, thats a bad ass box.

[SINSkateKrue]

[Georgeocurtis]

That's so sick. Best wooden box I've ever seen haha. I want to build some stuff in my back yard, so maybe I'll get on that soon.

[oldskater]

@Georgeocurtis Thanks! I guess it's kind of a hybrid box, metal and wood, even some faux bricks!

[Georgeocurtis]

@oldskater ha yeah, most boxes are eyesores, but this one is beautiful hahahahaha

[notarden]

beautiful

[skaters5ful]
