 trying to have a casual little winch to the camera right now. Just drove like an hour to get down here today, guys, to skate, to get out the house, and it's raining. Naturally, I'm feeling pretty bombed. I just wanted to skate. As you know, all the skate parks are shut around the world. Not working right now because the chatter shop is shut, so I was just like trying to make videos and skate, but yeah, I guess you can plan a pretty picnic, but you can't predict the weather. Is that a song? I don't know. I'm actually thinking about rebuilding or adding more to the DIY I started like a year ago on my channel. Everywhere is shut to skate. At least while I'm here, I can take in some reference, what kind of materials and stuff going to the build, how everything kind of comes together and works. I'm gonna have to drive an hour back to where I come from, have a look at the DIY, and then start to plan a few things. Maybe this can be the video for today. I'm trying to save the, I'm trying to save the video here, guys. Try to save the opportunity, trying to seize the day, you know. Yeah, I'm just babbling on because I'm frustrated and this is how my frustration comes out. Ha ha ha. A big part of DIY is sourcing materials to use for the build. You could obviously go and buy it all, but it's gonna end up being quite costly, and I don't really wanna dunk a bunch of money into something that might be a bust. It could get destroyed or it could get kicked out or told not to go there and skate or whatever, so I'm trying to figure out how I can source some materials. Trying to think if I were to build a little quarter like this at the other DIY spot, how many bags of cement I would need. I've watched some videos on DIY kind of skate park builds and stuff. I mean, I'm not the best at building anything, so it'll be a challenge though, it'll be a fun challenge. I really like the simplicity of this ledge, literally it's just how many is it? One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Just seven cinder blocks, stood vertically with a bit of angle iron, liquid nails down to the side here, and I think it's just liquid nails to the ground. This is awesome, this could work. Ultimately, I think if I were to source some material, I got a body of mine that can fabricate like a flat bar, and then all that needs to be done is it just needs to be drilled into the cement, dine and bolt it in so it doesn't move around so no one pinches it. I do like this a lot. I do like the look of this a lot. Same go, I'm not sure how much bags of cement you'd need to build this. As you can see underneath, there's a fair bit of like earth and rock and I think there's some wood pieces in there too actually, as the formwork, and then it's just built up on four different parking curbs here, which is sick. Actually have a cool idea, like if you were to pour a parking curb, make a new mold and then stack it on top of like cinder blocks like over there, but have it kind of to this height. That'll be sick. I think that might be the first two things that go into the DIY. I love how primitive this kind of looks like it's just two parking curbs, three cinder blocks and then a flat bit of hollow troupe here with some cement in the middle. I don't know, it seems to work. Damn, if that's not DIY then I don't know what is. This is sick too, it's just like a cement ledge here, as you can see, pretty chipped up, pretty gnarly and then it's chucked a bit of a alloying on the side here and cemented it down or with the nails that down. That'll be cool too, but we don't have any, we don't have any ledges up there. It's just kind of a flat carpark. It's not the same, it's raining right now because I did wanna skate here and get some clips for you guys to look at. Yeah, I guess you can't really choose the weather. I mean, it wouldn't take long to dry up. The ground's pretty rough, but yeah, it's still drizzling a bit. I don't really wanna get my board out of the car and get it all wet and ruined. All right guys, as you can see, I've made my way back up to the DIY, some random tradies looking about. As you can see, someone's cut the safety rail around this stair set and made a gap. Pretty gnarly. It's a pretty primitive rail here, flat bar, some bricks and rocks holding it down so you can ride it. There's this kicker, if you wanna call it a kicker. As you guys can see, this spot has potential. I just don't know if it's a bust or not because there's people working on the building and what not. I don't know what the plan is for this building. I thought they were gonna knock it down and put high rises in here, but you know, this spot might be all right for like a month or so, I don't know. It's better than nothing, I suppose. I think what I might do is take some photos of this place and then draw on top of the photos, draw some rough sketches of what I wanna build here. Hopefully that's the plan. As you can see, I've taken the photo and put it into my lap here on my iPad and I've just kind of thrown some things in. Idealistically, this would be sick. Like a quarter pipe down the other end here would be dope because then you could like skate down, hit the quarter pipe and come back. It's gonna cost a lot of money to build a quarter like that in here. Definitely keen on building one of these, the raised parking curb ledge and definitely keen on getting a flat bar in. Probably not a double shotgun flat bar like this, but just a normal flat bar bolted in would be sick. This is the kind of space I'm thinking of building with him so it's still kind of in the car park space so you can still kind of drive around. But yeah, this is a rough idea. I don't know, I'm just gonna start with probably the rail or the raised parking curb. I'm not sure what you guys think. But as you guys can see, like the spot does have potential. It just needs a bit of TLC, so yeah. Boys, this video is done. Sorry it's not longer. Sorry there's a lot of talking. There's not much skating. There'll be more skating in videos to come. I just gotta get this DIY kind of rolling, have to get that thing going. As I was driving down the coast the other day, I stopped past a new park that's being built that was supposed to be finished in five days. I'm not gonna say where it is because one of the convict dudes was like, oh, you can take a video but don't post it. So I'm not gonna tell you guys where it is, but there's a convict park that's like done. I shouldn't be saying this because people are gonna go there. If you're a local, you know where it is, but if you're not a local, then you won't know where it is, but yeah, it's almost done. I got some clips of it, so I'm gonna roll the outro and I'm going to show you guys some clips of this park right now. So yeah, if you've made it this far in the video, thank you very much for watching. If you're new here, make sure you subscribe. Yeah, until next time guys, I'll catch you all in the next video.
