Building a Skateboard Ledge

Sun, 27 Jul 2025 12:08:29 +0000

Took the chance to pursue a little hobby project – building my own skateboard ledge.

The inspiration to build my own ledge came from a colleague who refurbished an old mini ramp. So I thought I could actually do a similar thing in my neighborhood and see how it works out.

I followed the Red Bull guide to the dot. Only made the ledge a bit longer (250cm) because these are the standard wood ply lengths that you can buy around here.

The final result is quite ok👌🏼

Of course, if you look closely, you can see that I'm not the most skilled handyman :) Nevertheless, I'm pretty happy with the result.

I only have a few questions regarding the durability of the top sheet. Maybe a small 6mm weather resistant ply would be better, we will see..

The ledge is waxed and ready to be tested in my neighborhood.

I wonder how long it will take until someone protests or destroys/removes the ledge. Until then, it's basically my personal skatepark :) and open for all. Happy skateboarding folks!

I'll update the thread here on the Fediverse once I have some footage, it's still raining cats around here ⛈️🐱
