Sooo, has the polejam been born?!?
I didn't think I'd get this invested, but I need to know what the status of the pole jam is. Thanks.
Ah I couldn't get it done. The sledgehammer just wasn't going to do the job. I resigned myself to the fact that I needed to hire someone with a jackhammer or special drill to get a deep enough hole. Then I had money issues and couldn't pay for it. I still have the pole and even the bag of concrete, as well as the other tools. I actually found a natty pole jam this past spring so there was no need to build my own, but of course it's gone now. So hopefully next spring I'll get it done. I still want to do it; there
still isn't any reliable, normal pole jam in my entire city.

Yeah, probably. Honestly I watched a fucking how-to video with Al Partanen and he literally just took a sledgehammer to some concrete and somehow bust a hole open due to some pre-existing hole. It's all lies. I have very little construction or DIY experience and no one to help so I thought it would work out.
If you can get your hands on something with a sds bit just smash a wee hole in there, insert reo and concrete. Brute force like that is no good for your arms or the slab. Thor’s just a movie, bro
Never heard of an SDS bit or anything of the sort, I'll check that out.
Y’all haven’t mentioned the easiest way. Find a spot where the cement meets the grass and there’s a sidewalk or more cement running next to it all . In the corner area of the grass where everything meets dig. Dig farther away from the sidewalk to make it a bigger gap. If you do it in the very corner, it’s not even a gap at all. Then you put the pole in and boom, you and all the homies are pole jamming over the grass on to the sidewalk. Done this at multiple parks and spots before and it only takes an hour of hard work max. Usually lasts for a week or so before the city or someone digs up the pole.
I was looking for spots like this but no dice, plus I want to build a jam that lasts for awhile so I was scoping out abandoned buildings and their parking lots. But maybe I'll go on a deeper hunt next time.
