Bring bench sessions home
Cody McEntire's American Bench gives your setup a familiar street-style feature to return to. Six feet of bench at fourteen inches high make room for focused grind-and-slide sessions, while the boxed kit keeps the build to an estimated thirty to forty-five minutes with a drill.
Give a six-foot bench its own session
Make the bench the feature you came out to skate. Its six-foot length gives you a defined target for repeated approaches, whether you are revisiting a familiar grind or working on the next slide.
Picture the fourteen-inch approach
The bench stands fourteen inches high. Think about the way you will get onto it and the room you want on either side of the trick. Use that height when comparing it with the ledges and rails you already enjoy skating.
Find a place for the bench to stay
The finished bench weighs 60 pounds. Choose its position around a usable run-in and roll-away so moving it is part of the plan, rather than a task before every attempt. Our Space and Fit guide helps you account for the riding area around it.
A short build before the first session
The American Bench comes boxed for assembly. Bring a drill and allow an estimated thirty to forty-five minutes to put it together. Clear a work area for the parts, then follow the supplied build sequence before moving the finished bench into its spot.

Questions about Cody McEntire American Skate Bench
How does the Cody McEntire American Bench differ from a standard grind box?
The American Bench has a six-foot bench shape and stands fourteen inches high. A standard Grind Box offers a simpler rectangular ledge. Choose the bench when you want that street-style shape as a dedicated feature in your setup.
How does the Cody McEntire bench compare with Jordan Hoffart's Butter Bench?
Both benches are six feet long and fourteen inches high. Cody McEntire's American Bench has its own graphic treatment, while Jordan Hoffart's Butter Bench offers Black/Grey and Brown/Tan color choices. Compare the appearance and available options, then choose the bench you want to keep skating.
When would a compact Grind Box make more sense than the Cody bench?
A compact Grind Box makes sense when you want a shorter ledge or have less room for the obstacle. Choose the American Bench when its six-foot length and bench shape fit the tricks you want to practice. Include your approach and roll-away when comparing either option.
What tricks can riders practice on the Cody McEntire American Skate Bench?
Use the Cody McEntire American Skate Bench for ledge skills such as 50-50 grinds, boardslides, noseslides, and ollies on or off the obstacle. Where the top and geometry support it, riders can also work on manuals and nose manuals.

What to Expect
We have two teams working around the clock to mass produce the beloved kits that are in high demand, after all we service ALL skaters worldwide! The fabrication time in our warehouse starts when you place the order as the information prints out directly to our team to start production. After the kit is created, the next process is actual transit time. We work with several carriers for a variety of our products to help cut down on transit times and delays.
Our Quarter Pipe kits (4ft wide Quarter Pipe & larger), Half Pipes, and sheets of GatorSkins or Skatelite Pro all ship on a double size pallet (4ft wide x 8ft long) via freight carrier. As the double sized pallet leaves our warehouse, the freight carrier will then begin the transit process to get your order over to your local delivery terminal. As your shipment arrives in your local area, the freight carrier will have an appointment setter call you directly to schedule an appointment for delivery. Just like when you book an appointment with the cable company, you will be given a 4 – 8-hour window of delivery.
The freight driver will then arrive at your residential delivery address on the day of your scheduled appointment. Please note that this will be a curbside delivery. The driver will not be able to pull into your driveway or any other requested area on your property. You will want to be sure to have 2 – 3 able-bodied adults, in total, at your place of residence during the delivery window to assist with the unloading of this pallet. Provided the size and weight of these shipments, a liftgate is not permitted and drivers are unable to assist with any of the hand unloading process. The pallet is easy to breakdown to execute a hand unloading process with yourself and a few additional helping hands.
The entire unloading process may seem daunting however it is a fairly simple process that can be executed within 10 – 20 minutes! Please keep in mind that delays may occur with the delivery. We understand that this can be frustrating. If you experience a missed appointment, please reach out to us and our team is happy to help.
If you notice any damages or issues with the order upon receiving, please proceed with accepting the shipment, but notate on the delivery receipt by stating “DAMAGE” when signing the delivery receipt. You do not need to itemize any material which was damaged when accepting the shipment. Once your shipment has been unloaded and signed, please email our team directly with the damage(s), proof of signed delivery receipt which has been notated as damaged along with full length pictures of the material which was damaged. We will work on resolving the issue immediately.

The internet has all sorts of terrible ideas as to how to quiet or dampen the sound of your skateboard ramp - in particular the mini ramps (or halfpipes).
You may read about wives tales on using insulation, filling the coping with whatever, or add pillows and blankets behind the ramp. We are here to clear the air….that is all nonsense.
There are really only 2 suggestions to help quiet your mini ramp.
- You can close up the back of your skateboard ramp with ¾” thick plywood. This will eliminate the hollow sound significantly. Again, don’t read into the bogus information about filling in that empty space before you close it up with plywood. It doesn’t work. Simply closing up the backend will help with the noise. Some customers will get creative with it- we’ve seen several put hinges on the backend - making a custom door for storage, etc. That is entirely optional to make use of the space. But in terms of noise levels, close it up.
- Also using a softer gel wheel is helpful to give you the incognito vibe your neighbors won’t complain about while shredding your skateboard ramp. Generally the harder the wheel, the louder they hear ya coming! Many skaters have multiple skateboards with a different set of wheels, most prefer the harder wheels during normal street skating use & then at night we switch over to the gel softer wheels so your neighbor’s can get their precious sleep & you can shred your heart out! Not every skater likes riding a gel wheel. There are many pros/cons. For this conversation, the biggest pro for having a softer wheel is the reduced noise factor. If you have neighbors that are goin to be a narc, just throw on the soft wheels!
