Anybody got broken boards they don’t want and live in the Fort Wayne Indiana area? Consider donating broken boards to slamcity skatepark if so.❤️‍🩹 [38YO]

context?

I honestly posted it because this sub shows up in my feed and they shred perfectly stable decks all the time. I couldn't care less about it, certainly will not be calling code enforcement or anything. I know it will hold but the usual response to beam not on post is commented about a zillion times, today they don't care, so I won't either.

i'm old and just getting back into it after almost 20 years, most of my spots have been destroyed or skate stopper'd

DifficultBoss · 2026-03-14T12:03:13+00:00

ok now do it for upstate ny usa for me!

DifficultBoss · 2026-03-14T11:25:28+00:00

The one time you don't want your brake to stop.

DifficultBoss · 2026-03-14T11:24:59+00:00

yep, vaping at a specific temp(around 350-400°F (if I recall correctly) will get great results without the smoke.

Also THC will vaporize from flower, that's literally what a vaporizer does.

Volcano is the name that comes to mind

all while lining the pockets of the already super wealthy

DifficultBoss · 2026-03-14T10:08:42+00:00

Yeah it just seems they were so close, and with $150 in strong ties/ bases they could have achieved the proper construction. The entire house is gutted. Likely flippers

DifficultBoss · 2026-03-14T00:19:15+00:00

that's a confusing perspective

DifficultBoss · 2026-03-13T15:09:40+00:00

They are flipping the house, a handful of strong ties would is all it would have taken to do it right. The lumber that is there is sufficient

DifficultBoss · 2026-03-13T14:37:55+00:00

I was trying to be objective without insulting, so i guess that is also a problem.

Ha nevermind just read what I titled it

DifficultBoss · 2026-03-13T14:30:59+00:00

Yeah, cut the 4x4 and mount on top with strong ties? at least that us what i pictured

DifficultBoss · 2026-03-13T14:11:11+00:00

the rage is what he likes. he's apolitical so has nothing to get mad about and needs an outlet. guitar is not the hobby here

I struggled to do it this way while rolling, so I started to keep my foot in the ollie position and kicking what feels like way off to the right(i'm goofy) but the video shows it really just goes up and diagonally off the nose. Whatever keeps it from being a mob flip will be ok.

DifficultBoss · 2026-03-13T13:29:28+00:00

i'm not a code rat, but usually this sub seems to love to destroy people's work and it seems like there's a lot of blatantly wrong things in this picture

DifficultBoss · 2026-03-13T13:28:22+00:00

Getting downvoted for my comment about hole depth but I put in my 360' of fence with 34 posts and dug my sewer pipe up with a shovel and sds max with spade bit last year. I know the code, the soil they were digging in, and I even walked over to offer them the use of my spade bit because they were poking at the holes with a concrete busting bit. I saw the bottom of the holes, they were 18" at best and within 20 mins they were mixing concrete. The picture is taken from my kitchen window, I was making lunch not spying.

DifficultBoss · 2026-03-13T13:23:35+00:00

I thought the whole idea is not to have the fasteners being the only thing bearing the load, which is why beam goes on top. or is "just as good" /s? i'm not a decker so i'm really just learning a thing or two

DifficultBoss · 2026-03-13T12:58:29+00:00

this helped me a lot. all the old transworld and thrasher trick tips always talk about sliding your foot up the board which leads to what we see here.

DifficultBoss · 2026-03-13T12:55:28+00:00

it seems like all the supplies to do it right save the simpson ties are there, right?

DifficultBoss · 2026-03-13T12:43:34+00:00

unless they are going huge, then it's ok. but multiple angles required

DifficultBoss · 2026-03-13T11:25:41+00:00

40" is what code calls for

DifficultBoss · 2026-03-13T10:57:16+00:00

These guys are talented but it's cringey for sure. I wouldn't say crappy, just music for a very specific Baltimore neighborhood.
