Dusty spot but I've been waxing and grinding this curb for a long time now. It's in a parking lot that's empty at about 8 pm and well lit through the evening so it's perfect for a late slappy sesh.
Skateboarding is a jokeAnd if you think otherwiseyou're fucked in the headIt's not that serious - Go fast, catch a frontside And remember why you love it
yeah i've been thinking of making a parking block. theres this emply patch of asphalt in the park behind my house that used to be a football cage. its pretty rough but it wont bother anyone there. and might be able to make more if i got the mold right and drop one at the skatepark.i know someone that made 2 curbs a while ago, those work great. told him about the bus stops and he found a really nice abandoned one in the city he's from. it's one of those sectioned off ones near a station so there's no cars driving there at all.
@Uncle Jeffrey what the hell are you waiting for?!? Get some concrete sealer and roll that fucker out tonight! Dream spot.
my family has a pretty good monopoly on those hours
Here's the curb I'm hanging out at in Munich. The ground's really smooth and the curb has the perfect height and angle to just pop you up. A 10/10 curb spot, treasures like it are rare in this world.
What would ya all say is the perfect height for a curb? Most curbs in Germany/Europe are a bit taller as in the USA, right?
All the same spot. Sucks the double sided isn't very good (yet) and that the sidewalks are fucking ROUGH as fuck, 97a spits makes them almost skateable so no manuals :\ only smooth part is where the handicapped ramps are (yellow bumps as well).It's a filthy spot from the high turn over of cars, shows get dirty AF.'round the corneronly works with rails reallyNewly lacquered and bondo'd but doesn't look like a brick was taken to it, but it grinds fast at a hard angle (think of doing a shit slappy where your wheels are still on the ground, that's the angle you have to take) just not on top

Which DMV is this?

It's usage has tapered off some tho.

DMV closes at 5pm, lot is usually empty at 5:30 (enough to skate; I tend to hit it around 5:45/6:00 you never know if you'll get a grumpier DMV employee than usual + plus cars driving around).On weekends, especially early you get a few people teaching others how to drive (why they choose to do it here...DMV or not, I have no idea as they don't ever use the layout the way the actual DMV instructors do).Hit me up via a DM if you want to skate!
