5 Drill Hacks From a Professional Skateboarding Ramp Builder

Thanksgiving is almost here. That means Turkey Day sessions are going down all across the country. Yew! It also means linking up with friends and family we don't often see, which sometimes means we're back in the front yard skating all the old, crusty obstacles from yesteryear. So what better time than now to get some DIY hacks from the good folks at Keen Ramps?

Cory Keen is a pro ramp builder (and a ripping skateboarder), but his work obviously stems far beyond just ramps. At any rate, the dude has picked up a few tricks of the trade over the years, including these 5 drill hacks that are actually super useful. Grab your gear and press play—it's time to learn.

Just so you know—I'm not here to spoil the 5 tips. You need to watch the video! But I will say Cory knows his stuff and these videos are always super informative (and surprisingly easy to watch all the way through). Good, quality content, as far as I'm concerned. Boom.

Keen has hit us with a variety of how-to videos over the years, from constructing perfect transition on a quarter pipe to properly placing in the coping—the list goes on. Regardless, these tips and tricks are extremely useful and might even inspire you to get building.

Shoutout to Cory for providing videos like this, and for continuing to literally buildskateboarding. Keen does all the big events, their build-at-home stuff is super rad. And the whole crew clearly loves what they're doing. Peep the video and don't be afraid to leap down the Keen Ramps rabbit hole.

And hit the Keen Ramps site to see all the rad stuff they build, provide and offer.
