How Not to Fuck Up DIY Coping

Pouring your own concrete coping is fun, easy and--like all things skate related--eternally rewarding.  Follow these simple instructions and your trucks will be showering the neighborhood with sparks in no time.

Step 1) Invite over your most trustworthy skateboarding friends to help. Yes sir. It takes real dedication from the whole skating community to build a true scene.

Step 2) Get drunk and figure that, since you've done this before, there's no need to follow the directions on the bag of Kwikcrete. Add water liberally. Go ahead... pour some beer in there too since you've convinced yourself it'll make your grinds more "manly."

Step 3) Spend rest of afternoon frantically trying to trowel out excess liquid until you've achieved a somewhat acceptable-looking pour. Notice disappointed friends abandon scene after it's too late.

Step 4) Let cure and voila! Perfect concrete coping reminiscent of world's finest.
