could have just been bangers, but noooooo. let's put him carrying cinderblocks around to an annoyingly long song.

I like the concept of building spots but that bank/kicker didnt look like much fun.

I don't think I would have gone with that thing as a first obstacle.

I would have used an old board with all my spare parts to haul the cinderblocks and other heavy shit instead of carrying it across the lot like that. Smarter not harder.

I'm all for building anything yourself!

But what the hell is this guy doing working cement with his bare hands!?
He must want his hands to look like freddy krugers face.

And a set of loppers. The dude was using bolt cutters to trim trees.

Also what's the deal with him initially filling the form with dry mix, and pouring wet on top of that? Does that work? My working knowledge of cement is if the slab isn't at least 3 or 4 inches thick it's likely to crack, even if reinforced.

When pouring transition it seems like the main problem is the lip, which always seems to crack out and get bondoed. I've never tried it but it seems like a masonry wheel on a cordless grinder could be used to cut the existing concrete so the new slab could maintain it's thickness all the way down.
