DIYskate.com - An organized, free site full of everything you could ever want to know about how to do it yourself, in regards to skateboarding.




DIYskate.com

Hello and welcome. This site is dedicated to the "Do It Yourself" attitude which skateboarding was founded on and seems to be lacking a bit of at the moment. If you are unfamiliar how DIY works, it's simple. Almost anything can be made or made better with a little imagination, creatively and ingenuity.

The contents of this site are no different. Here you will find detailed information on how to build ramps, how to make skateboards and more. There's always something being added, updated or polished within these pages and i'm trying to keep it as interactive as possible.

I'm constantly making changes, so if something doesn't show up, please refresh your browser.


Inspiration

Old School Skateboard

I started skateboarding around 1985. Actually I first stepped foot on a board in the late 70's but that really doesn't count. I also started making stuff in the late 70's. Mostly out of Lego's, but that grew into tree houses then eventually skateboard ramps. I made my first skateboard press in the early 80's, granted it was for a fingerboard :) but the idea was there.

This continued until about 2001 when I was given the opportunity to build a skate park, then another and so on. During this time I was often asked how something was made and once the skate park construction business became so slow it was virtually non existent (that's another story altogether) I decided to share this how to do it yourself knowledge with others.

So here it is, DIYskate.com my attempt to help as many that will take the time to read a page or two figure out how to build a skateboard ramp or the board itself. Good luck. - Jason
