"What's up you guys, it's Chris Green. We are at Culvert City Skate Park right now and you may ask how do you build a skate park? Well first things first you have got to start off with a design which are called blue prints and that pretty much helps you figure out what do you want whether it be ledges or bowls or rails or just trannies so that's first things first you have got to start off with a design. There are so many designs you can come up with for a skate park whether it be street, you know mostly street or mostly transition or some times you combine the two because you know street skateboarding is so popular nowadays. As you can see this skate park around is what is mostly made out of concrete and what most people don't know is that a concrete skate park actually starts off as dirt. You lay down the dirt and that lays down the design that you see in front of you. Then you add a fencing on the top and add concrete. Without the fencing the concrete and the dirt won't stick to create the skate park. It takes a lot of hard labor but eventually you'll have your skate park like this one."
