I just rub bricked and salva sauced a parking block outside my work so I can skate while the ovens heat up, I’ll put up a pic when I can.

..... that's a ledge.

I’d call that a ledge too. It’s beautiful and looks super fun to skate though.

Will post a picture as soon as I get home.
I can see the curb from my living room window, spotted it the first day we moved into the house.
Yellow coated and grinds good, not bad for Europe.

I’d post up my locals but I never have my phone on me whilst skating, at least not when I’m 10 minutes from my house

That's the hottest picture ive seen in a minute
It looks like it starts as a curb but goes to ledge.
with a possible gap back by those cars too?
Never seen a road so smooth or a curb so red.

Haha, believe it or not, it was super smooth up until 6 months ago when it was used as a staging area for construction equipment and debris. I had to spend hours cleaning it up to get it skateable again.

i only know of 2 grindable curbs in my area, will take a picture whenever i get an occasion bc it's snowing right now

this is my curb right here
real nice double sided you can gap over the grass and hit it any direction
I'm tight with the landlord at the apartment it's in front of -- I keep it painted and laquered and he never bothers me skating it. First time we crossed there he gave me a hard time and tried to kick me out I offered to paint it for him and he laughed me off but next day I was out there with my bucket and since then we've had a nice mutual respect.

Down the street from my apartment. They don't care if we skate as long as the bank's closed. And the ground is all blacktop so it's basically the perfect spot. Sorry for the shitty pic, it's the best I could get from street view since I'm not home atm.

I love and hate that manny/curb spot so much. The ground is awful but it’s shaded when it’s 115 out.

My favorite thing to skate when I visit home is the curbs outside of the town mall. As far as I know my friends and I are the only people that skate them, they are round and don’t really lock into anything but they are painted and we dug out the dirt on the planter enough to boardslide, and they have some fun corners and stuff. Ground is perfect too. When I’m home next I’ll try and take a pic of them.
I’ve always wanted to go to that famous curb spot that pros go to in LA under a bridge... did I hear at some point that it’s at a Home Depot?

Chico! Such a trip opening this thread and seeing this, i remember when the curbs werent painted. The two little kickers, the flat gap over the island, the super smooth flat area up top, the bank by the street, and the health center are all within like 100 yards and alot of fun. That little metal box at the top of the pic is nose slidable. I learned ALOT of my shit in this tiny little area a long time ago so sorry for the nostalgia post slappers. I promise there’s waaaaaaaaaaay better curbs/spots in Chico if you actually look and push around town, but nobody has the balls or motivation to leave the fucking toxic cool guy skatepark. Genuinely makes me sad because for how small and skate stopped it is, theres some great shit to skate around town. More for me i guess :)

That's fucking rad to hear man. This little parking lot/curb is where I skate the most in Chico and it's true there are a lot of hidden gems around here if you go hunting. I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one who hates the skate park and all the locals there. Good shit.

These curbs are few blocks from my house. There is a long long downhill red one and a nice turned yellow one at the bottom. The asphalt is new and smooth. Only the occasional football dad likes to tell me I'm a bad influence on the kids....

Really? I love black top for skating flat. Slippery enough to cheat any 360 variation I would usually have to pivot. Unless the black top lots I've skated are different than the normal ones.

Jealous of those long painted curbs you americans have, here in Norway they’re always raw concrete, and usually made out of shorter pieces that often have wide cracks between them that need to be filled.
-
My friend brought a parking block into his basement and painted/sauced it so I guess it counts as a curb spot now

I think people are sick of seeing mine here, but I poured a new one the other day using the same form with only one bag (instead of filling it with 80 lb bag and a half). It looks to be 4 - 4 1/2" high compared to 6" with it completely filled. I'll measure when it's time to remove it.
Lesson is make your curb forms for the biggest curb you want and adjust volume of cement instead of making different sized forms for each height.

im not sick of seeing them. That 4” high sounds like a great height.
-
I popped it out of the form this morning and it measures nearly 4 3/4". It looks pretty tasty, but I've got to wait 3 more weeks for it to finish curing. Also, for research purposes, I used the regular sakrete high pressure cement not the 5000 plus psi version to see if it is strong enough if cured properly.
Now to make two more of these.

That’s a spot I prepped thats 15mins from the house. There’s lots of other spots, but I live pretty far from most of them. I have one double sided curb spot but the ground sucks, and it’s on a hill.

Yeah, exactly.

Took a while to finally find a spot. Everywhere good around me was either surrounded by cameras or a bust. I'd been skating a curb that a slap member from my city had set up, but I'd drive a long ass distance to skate it, only to find it parked in front of.
Been working on this, rub brick and a coat of paint and it's looking good.

Very good man, run up can be a bit wild cause you've gotta carve around a corner coming into it. Went back tonight and gave her another coat of laquer. Roasted a whole can on it Seems perfect now. I'll upload a few clips when I can.
Here's another pic from the first night I went.

^Oh wow. That’s nice.

Bumping because I skated a curb that I used to skate 10+ years ago. Still grinds and a classic spot :)

Nice work. I'm digging the setting with the forested hills and red brick building. Whereabouts is this?

First post! These are from the 808!!

I found these loose parking blocks from various areas around town and set them up on this mini bank. Theyre both really small blox. The more pale yellow one is way smoother and the bright one kinda sucks so usually ill just do some quick slaps on the pale one. Its a nice challenge cuz you gotta do this tight quick carve into it from the sidewalk.

Rub bricked the inside of this tight corner pocket, ive yet to slap it tho, its tighter than any corner ive slapped before, which is like 1.

Lotta options on this weird little oddity. Its the chillest spot, got shade, lots of flatground, and a bathroom.

Fun thing to do on this is slap onto the top instead of an ollie, then do a trick off the pad.

Super fun curbs and as far as I know I’m the only one that skates here. Fun fact:this parking lot used to be home to a pre-fab skate park.

All I ever need in this life is bank to curb. I guessing NC, Pennsylvania or New York State.

Grinds like a dream. Like butter.

I can never really get photos to load on here, but here’s our curb carousel someone just finished. Good concrete, lit up, and no body really fucks with you here. Probably took about 6 months to finish, but it feels good to have it done.

Would it be ridiculous to request an addendum to this threads title, based on one of the more pervy sounding thread titles on SLAP?
I am of course referring to the 9”(+) board thread from the Shoes & Gear board.
Can I formally petition to have the line “I wanna hear waxed guys talk about their waxed curbs” added to the title to enhance cohesiveness sitewide, as well as add to the over all silliness of SLAP in general?
Thank you for your time.
Also, how sad/pathetic is it that curbs are practically all my nearly 5 decade young frame can handle anymore?
Feh!

Anyone got any pivot cup tips for Indys that survive slappies?

LA heads know this spot. It's definitely blown up in the last 2 years. This one beats the under the bridge Home Depot slappy spot (in my opinion), since that ground isn't forgiving and has not as good lighting in the evening.
Not my local but I make the 20 minute drive since I can usually get a solid 1 hour + session with minimal people unless it's the weekend. Sometimes it's like a skatepark on weekend evenings :O Skated it earlier tonight actually :D I hit it 2-4 times a week if I can.
There's also two sets of 2 double sided curbs that are fun to grind/slide on. Lots of options here if your legs are willing!

Not the best curb, but it's in the same lot as the grocery store I go to and fun for 30 minutes
