DIY Enthusiast Zack Dowdy Shares Latest Installment of ‚Building A Secret DIY Skatepark‘

How’s the saying go? If you want something done right, do it yourself. Well, safe to say ripping skateboarder, content creator, and DIY enthusiast Zack Dowdy knows this firsthand. If you’re familiar with his YouTube channel, you know his ‚Building A Secret DIY Skatepark‘ series is heavily adored. With 11 episodes under his belt, the latest installment is as good as ever. Check it out:

Honestly, just spend a little time in the comments and you’ll quickly realize Dowdy is genuinely inspiring countless skateboarders to get in the spirit and start building themselves. 

„Really love these videos, I live in PR and theres a lot of potential for DIY here so I really hope I can do something like this some time soon.“

„Bro this series is soooo cool.. really enjoy watching it. Keep being you.“

„These are my favourite type of videos bud! Takes a while for one to upload but gotta appreciate every single one of em. Good stuff!“

„Probably my favorite series on YouTube, thanks man.“

But in my opinion, the thing that makes this series even more admirable is how Zack consistently touches on the importance of cleaning up your trash, respecting the spot, and obeying the unwritten ethics of DIY building. Honestly, we could all learn a thing or two from these videos!

And something tells me that’s sort of the point. Zack isn’t getting paid to do this, you know? He’s out there building these spots for the local community and at the same time, acting as a guiding light of inspiration all the same. This ain’t his first rodeo, either, and it surely won’t be his last. 

For as long as I’ve known Zack, he’s always been playing with concrete. It’s so rad to see how talented he’s become over the years, literally by teaching himself and diving into the trenches headfirst. Skateboarding is his motivation, and that’s the way it should always be. And let me just say… the dude rips! 

Keep building, Dowdy! We see you.

The skating speaks for itself here, but I have to give a shoutout to Will Riemer, the man behind the filming and editing. This clip has a vibe of its own and sort of gave me a feeling of nostalgia. Maybe it’s Hofmann’s part? Sort of reminiscent of an old TransWorld video or something? I don’t know for sure, but I’m a big fan.

èS Releases ‚The Shoe That Never Happened‘: Limited Edition Muska Black/Royal

After 25 years, éS Footwear is proud to announce that the Black/Royal Muska is officially available at select skate shops worldwide. This specific colorway has sparked conversations for over two decades, and in true èS fashion, they dug into the archives and brought them back to life. Ah, the nostalgia is real with these.

„For over two decades, the iconic Rick Kosick photograph of Chad Muska sitting on a graffitied wall in Venice, California, has sparked endless discussion,“ èS tells us. „The burning question: ‚Did this Black/Royal Muska colorway ever release?‘ Well, the answer is no—until now.“

„The shoe that never happened.“

Whether your roots stem from this era, you’re simply a fan of this era, or one of the many new skaters who are assisting with bringing back big, puffy shoes to skateboarding, there’s no denying these kicks check all the boxes. One look at these and a rush of memories from such a special time in my life come pouring down. 

One thing is for sure—these look borderline indestructible. The attention to detail is crazy, and when Muska is involved, you know you can always expect good things. „The Muska is more than a shoe; it’s a legacy,“ èS mentions. And honestly, I just have to agree. 

Look for „the shoe that never happened“ at your local shop, but keep in mind, they’re super limited. If you want ‚em, you better grab ‚em fast!

Friendly Fire: The Spitfire Wheels Team in Colorado

From Elissa Steamer and Hayley Wilson setting it off to serious gnar from Pedro Delfino and Elijah Berle, this is a tour edit that’s worth every second of your time. 

Denver, and the rest of the Centennial State, are rich in skate history and have the spots to match. The whole state is littered with big, concrete parks, fresh air, and usually some snow-topped mountains as the backdrop. Check out the picturesque to the heavy clips, right here. 

„Throw in two sets of siblings, a couple lifelong BFFs, and Colorado summertime weather; you’ve got heavy family road trip vibes and the revs to match. Featuring Elissa Steamer, Hayley Wilson, Nicole Hause, Fabiana Delfino, Pedro Delfino, Raney Beres, Elijah Berle & Frank Gerwer. Video by Mack Scharff & Rye Beres.“

Elijah always delivers on the rails and hairy gaps and Pedro and Raney get it in the bowls too. What’s with the Vikings jersey in CO? Your guess is as good as ours. Fabiana gets fresh with a no-handed sweeper and a cowboy hat. 

Some doubles action with Raney and Pedro, then Pedro closes it out with a wild Ollie up, 50-50 to 50-50 (with a bit of board bottom assistance?). Cool clip!

Stay tuned for Elijah’s glizzy burger at the end. You wanna know how he’s got all that pop and power? That might be it.
