Recently found an abandoned lot with very nice pavement and the perfect setup for a medium bank-to-ledge. There’s a planter / overgrown raised bed situation at the top of the bank and I’m trying to figure out the simplest way to turn it into a ledge.

The wood at the top of the bank is a 6x6 post - somewhat rotten but not totally gone. I was thinking I may buy a couple 2x6x8 boards and tack them together with a 2x4 on the back + a few posts to pound into the dirt. Then I’d throw angle iron on the 2x6, screw into the original 6x6 and call it a day.

I’m basically looking to make this easily removable so I want something I can just drop down onto the existing wood. Any recommendations / advice would be appreciated!

Just got back into skating. Trying to keep up with my kids. First ride on the cruiser on the backyard mini. Not sure if this is a hand plant pivot or what it’s officially called.

Random idea I thought of, sorta works! Baker makers all day.

Got the curb sliding, need to work on keeping my knees bent and getting out of it.

Trying to open myself up to more hills. It’s been fun and also incredibly sketchy!

I’ve been able to blunt transfer since my teenage years but the rock over always scared the shit out of me. Stoked I’ve managed to get it

Did this yesterday but forgot to post it. Hope everybody had a good one 👍🎇🙌🎇✨

Finally got the motivation to get back out there and landed a kickflip first try today! Got some shuv its and 180s back too. Now to get the elusive Tre Flip back and clean them up!

Everything I need to complete if anybody on here is interested in those risers with the bolts for the old bolt pattern on vintage trucks all brand new. Feel free to send me a DM first come first serve just send me a prepaid shipping label and I will package them up once they get to me and ship them off to you. You can see the details on them in the description, and then my two recent set ups I sharing as well just because I’m so proud of them just gotta finish up that grip tape on the Stingee Thingee as I mentioned . I’m just still trying to decide in my brain exactly how I wanna do it and what colors lol with the stencil I have on order of the honeycomb and the killer bee thing.!

Had to run it back because of the hand touch

Got a lil session in before the sun started beaming

Quad skated since 2019. 3rd session on a skateboard. Love the feeling and the culture. Going to enjoy this journey.
