The Independent Crew Blazes Through The Arizona Desert And Builds Epic DIY Up-Ledge (Video)

The DIY spirit is always burning bright in the Indy van and in their latest installment of Build To Grind, the crew blazes through the AZ desert and build an epic parking block up-ledge in a nearby ditch. 

I've personally never seen a ledge that looks like this—how rad and fun does this look?! And with a crew of heavy hitters like this, you know the session went off.

What's the first trick you're trying on this thing? While it looks fun and perfect—and while these dudes had their way with it—I imagine it's probably a little harder to skate than it looks. Or, at least, would take some figuring out...but I guess that's the same old story. 

The kickflip crook going down it was rad, but the front blunt bigspin was the takeaway for me. Such a rad trick on this thing. And the switch slappy crook is definitely worth mentioning. 

But beyond the tricks and the session itself, what matters most is that these dudes put in the time to build it. There's a little bit of that eager DIY spirit in all skaters—some more than others—but building a spot and skating it afterwards comes with a feeling of accomplishment that can't be described. 

You just have to feel it yourself!
