Not only does this stop skaters it also keeps the local poors out, we did it!
Wtf would you do with this thing other than skate it? Like it went from mostly useless to completely useless Lol I’m going to design some pedestrian stoppers later today and go around screwing them to benches, stair sets etc.
The ironic thing is there is a person pushing towards the wooden bank on the design firm's website:
Me and the homie actually pulled up to this spot as the dudes were knobbing it. I think he said its some facebook office or something. Fuck Zuck
Yea, Facebook leases the whole space, but who knows who made the call to actually knob it. Cushman & Wakefield is the commercial real estate firm that represents the design firm, so I'm not sure who would be financially responsible for maintaining the structures. I reached out to the design firm, but never heard anything back.
Those "skateboarding is not a crime, but property damage is" already kinda pointed out there was a divide in understanding what skateboarding is. It's not just a method to get from point A to point B. It's also a method to interact with human built structures along the way, especially when they are placed along a public pathway that is used by people walking, running, bicycling, skateboarding, etc... I'm not what the expected outcome was.
Just came across this ad campaign by Facebook:
