Reader DIY in Ohio

Matt in Ohio sent these pics of some driveway alterations he’s been working on. He’s taking a unique approach of pouring the concrete in a mold and then digging out a spot for it on the side of his driveway. He says he’s got several more planned. You can check out his progress here.

    that’s rad, but i bet those are some heavy fuckers to move into place.

  2. Yea they are I broke the 2nd one getting it out of the mold bc it was that or smashing my hands

  3. I’ve been thinking of something similar. So cool to see it being done.

    You could also cast these face down and line your form with masonite for a smoother riding surface. That might make it harder to stand up though. How are you moving these?

  5. prickly- moved it w/ an old board then I got my guns out and muscled it into place. arrrrrrh!

    thats very cool. i build quarter pipes for my driveway in wood and they either get stolen or need fixing every year . this method would certainly deter theft.

  9. Sick! If you pin them into the driveway & cast them in place they will stand on there own. Plus no having to move it.
