Home Spots - backyard, driveway, etc.

^ do yo have to kerf cut the OSB to bend it?

@Salamander -
What's the name of your spot? Let me know if you are going to do any work 2 weeks from now. I'd like to come up, help out and interview you for the blog. My house is reserved this weekend and next weekend but I'll close it down to go up there.

If you mean for the underneath of the doorway I used a 3/8 peice of plywood that already had a bend in it from an old ramp I took apart.
We have been calling the spot "Salamander Ranch". I should be working on new forms next weekend and possibly pouring the following weekend. PM me and I can send you my number.

We were gonna give the mini-monster bowl away, then we decided to do this instead... say hello to the Bromuda Triangle


(sorry if this is a re-post)

sick!  that layout looks really fun. 

i really dig the spot names too.

[Teds Wild]

YES SIR!

80 bags of 90# poured this last Saturday. Pics to come next week, pulling forms this weekend.

This aint the best panorama pic but it gives ya a good idea of the entire layout.

The pic makes it look short/small. People need to understand that at the push broom and cement mixer height it's 5 feet tall give or take some inches.

Yeah I should probably explain a bit more. To the right of the mixer and broom (corner wall ride trannsitions) are about 3 1/2' tall. The top of that wall is about 10 or 11'. If you go right the small quarter is about 5' then the bigger quarter spreading over the doorway is about 6 1/2'. On the other side to the left of the mixer, the bank is 6 1/2' of steepness and then escalador down to another 5' quarter. The pic makes everything appear much smaller.

That's so awesome! How far around are planning to go with it?

Planning on going all the way around so it connects together both sides and will be a bowl in the end. Hope to have it finished by summer (June) so I can stop working my ass off every weekend and just have some good summer sessions.

I started a new thread called "Salamander ranch".

Formed up more stuff this weekend. Should come together this summer.

[Frank]

Oby your napping. Come skate.

Snake pit needs its own thread too.

Krusher, this is some more footage of the yard. These are some podcasts I submitted to itunes for teaching geometry as it relates to skatepark stuff. All the armchair skatepark builders will call bullshit on me, but I show how to build on a super tight budget. I will probably present some calculus podcasts this summer. The footage is from the summer of 2011. Turn down the volume if you don't want to be bored with the mathematical wizardry.............................

^ One of the raddest things posted on this forum. Put them on YouTube so I can blog them.

Every once in a while someone will show me some math short cuts to get a job done faster but I always forget them. I need a DIY cheat sheet.

Seriously everyone who builds with concrete should write these equations down
