Starting to look like something.

Almost everything we finished up today. And then...it rained. And then they played pipe soccer and threw a buoy and each other.

The Shecklar Sit

I built these two transitions and kyle played Ryan Shecklar. He did not notice...that I...needed help.

Roller Coaster

Just gotta add some small studs inbetween these and add a 4 foot radius arc at the end of this and the flat will be done. Tubez.

two dollars and eight cents a piece



This doesnt look like 100 2 by's does it?

The Laying of the Keel

flat beginningsGetting started with the flat on the five. I was really surprised with how accurate the curve came out. I can't wait to get some transitions built and see just how bad ass this thing can be. Tubez.

Ultrasound



Our first complete sketch of Tubez got blown away but we drew this up on AutoCAD to get a real idea of what we were really building. All the holes will be filled in when we actually build it but we didnt feel like drawing it out. The bowled section with the extension is 6 feet tall. Im pretty sure we decided on the extension being 8 feet and it'll go vert. The rest of the bowl will be 5 feet. Tubez.

Me and Kyle had brain sex

This December we skated a bowl at YDG skatepark in NC. I fell in love with a new kind of skating and Kyle i guess probably just learned to love it more. We came back to Virginia and by March (after losing our skate sanctuary [R.I.P. SLAB]) with a little inspiration from  http://www.bowlsurgeon.blogspot.com/ motivation from Skank, and tax returns, we decided it was time for us to birth a bowl. TheTubeSock was conceived.
