In Waltham MA - at Koutoujian Park - a cheesy skateboard park there is a prefab concrete half-pipe. The problem is it is made of 6 parts and they don't all fit together properly.
The six parts are 4 quarter pipes and two flats.
The problems is that the bottom of two of the quarter pipes are about 1/4" lower than the flat - making for a scary little bump just as you are at top speed at the bottom of the tranny.
I'm looking for some ideas to smooth it out.
Keep in mind this is a town park - so bringing in heavy equipment or powertools on our own is out.
Doing some minor patching could be possible.
I suppose I should check with the town to see how willing they would be to help....
I'll try to post some pictures of what I am talking about later.
My first thought - DUCT TAPE - simple but temporary.
Any other ideas? |

You should use a polymer modified mortar. It will feather out nicely, is stronger than the concrete, and much eashier to use than bondo. I would use a speed set type, maybe paint the surface with straight liquid acrylic to enhance the bond.
Check masonry or ceramic tile wholesalers in your area for products that would work. |

jackhammer
or spraypaint an "open letter to the city" on the ramp regarding the pitiful attempt at appeasing the local skaterboarders |
