Parks have been getting crowded a bit more than I like. What are some good curb spots in the Long Beach area?
I've found the fat parking blocks near Naples, which I like.
I've been wanting to check out the Bellflower DMV, but I don't know if I can get a 6am session in, or if I should just wait until Sundays.
-
Those Naples curbs are really fun as are the Bellflower DMV. Check out the Dollar Tree in Signal Hill. Some good curbs along with a half circle/U shaped curb. CSULB has a long red double sided curb and then there's Cerritos High School has some really good curbs as well. Feel free to send me a PM if you need any help.

Rosies dog beach is decent but get it’s fair share of traffic at times

Yea. I went to them a couple of times. A lot of people skating when I went. I'm usually trying to do some solo riding as I'm not the best at curbs and don't want to embarrass myself.

If you dont mind the drive the curbs at Greenville elementary in Santa Ana is always good

Bellflower is my go-to spot most weekends, but with the time change coming up this weekend, you can get after hours sessions in for an hour as they close at 5pm and it's empty by 6pm usually...but I prefer Sat/Sun there.
Belmont actually has a couple of decent curbs. Tennis courts at Marine Stadium near the farmers market has a double and single sided option.

You're not even on the good side! ha. I'll be out there this weekend most likely. Sat or Sun. I usually roll like 11am or so, say what's up if you see me. I always get sparked seeing real life SLAP pals in the wild. James Craig and I had an epic meet up with a Detroit SLAP pal one year at the Red Bull contest there.

I was leaving towards the Artesia exit and saw the long stretch. Part of me wanted to stay and hit that other section, but I had to jam. Gonna try to get out there again this weekend.

I live right down from the street from the Rosie’s curbs. That is the only spot I skate these days. Where are the Naples curbs? Here I am skating dog beach about a month ago. Say hi if you see me.

Naples curbs aren’t too far from Rosie’s. From Ocean, go up Bay Shore (past 2nd St) until you hit Appian Way. There you’ll see a large parking lot. There are wide parking blocks closer to the water. Just look for the black one that’s been waxed like crazy.
-
There’s the bank to curb on the beach. That things fun for a little bit if you’re in the area. There’s also the harder to skate bank to curb in Signal Hill. Not sure if there’s an exact address or not, but the gps coordinates are 33.80651,-118.16302
Bellflower dmv gets a lot of praise from some of my friends. Gonna make it down there and check it out sometime soon
-

The Scum Hole? I bike by it all the time. I've never really ridden banks, so I'm curious to try.

I'm moving right down the street from the dog beach next weekend! Is this spot good to skate pretty much any day of the week?

Yep, you can skate them whenever. Most of the curb spots here are skateable any day.
-
Oh I’ve skated that Naples spot. Thanks for letting me know the name. You can skate the curbs whenever, but I prefer skating Dog Beach on weekdays because there are less people at the beach and less cars to worry about. It gets pretty busy on nice weekends. There are some ledges right next to the pool that some rollerblader has been waxing up, I haven’t skated them too much yet though.

Stoked to hear about potential ledges as well! Really looking forward to having a mellow spot so close to home

Great manny pads and perfect flat ground too. I haven’t skated a park in forever. I will see you out there.
-
If you dont mind the drive the curbs at Greenville elementary in Santa Ana is always good
Thanks for the tip! I live right by the school.
What’s the best time to skate these? Looking for a mellow spot to get back into skating after a broken foot.

You can skate it pretty much whenever. I usually go around 3. PM me if you want to meet up. I also like like a block from there.

Really fun spot but definitely bring a broom to not only sweep the spot but also to block your board from going into the water runoff.

After a few weeks off the board, was able to get in a session at the DMV today. And I actually saw a bunch of people there other than a dude who races his RC car around the parking lot.
-
Naples curbs are great.
I grew up around the corner from the San Pedro dmv on gaffey and those curbs are wonderful.
Just gotta cross the bridge. And you can hit peck park too.
-
I learned how to slappy at the curbs in Long Beach next to the Home Depot that had a in and out in the same parking lot.
Can anyone tell me where those curbs are that Cory keen as been posting videos at? Looks like a library or something.
-
damn i really want to move out to long beach. i visited last summer and stayed with some homies like 5 mins away from cherry. i love the area and the amount of nice curbs that are in the vicinity really solidify how much i want to move there.
-
Just skated some really fun curbs in the marina parking lot between the crab pot and schooner or later. Curbs for days and there is a slappy curb gap to double sided curb transfer option.

I think I skated those exact curbs in 2012. If I’m recalling correctly that spot is fucking great

I skated these curbs twice recently. That slappy curb gap to double sided is scary to hit haha. That is a fun spot tho, low traffic.
I also hit that U-shaped curb at dollar tree in signal hill recently. that thing was much harder to get around than it looks
anyone ever hit the little DIY behind trader joes? I am wondering who maintains that. skate it every now and again and I haven't really ever seen skaters there. they recently put in a gnarly bank to bank with a long rail going across

Which Trade Joes? Marina? Or on Bellflower?
I've seen vids of Ace Pelka riding the DIY, so I assume him and Rhino built that spot.
Or were your talking the curbs near the TJ's on Bellflower in the parking lot where Sears used to be. I saw some skaters patch cracks in the curbs and throw some Salba Sauce on it, so those things are SLICK.
-
the trader joe's in the marina. Ahh that makes sense
I haven't skated the curbs in that bellflower lot but I have definitely seen them at some point
-
I’ve skated that diy behind TJ’s in the Marina. That thing is sketchy, but kind of fun.
Does anyone know of any street tranny spots around Long Beach?
-
@ilovegay Off the top of my head all I got is a bank to curb spot in Signal Hill that's pretty popular. PM me if you want the addy

Also the one along the beach path. Just bring a shovel. That thing constantly needs to be cleaned out.

with it getting dark so early lately, anyone got any decent night curbs/ledges that are lit up?
all that i can think of is csulb and it sounds like a bust trying to skate there on weekday nights
-

It's a bust now that students are back on campus and that campus security is getting a bit strict again.
The old Sears parking lot near Deli News Pizza has lights and a maintained curb. Don't know how well lit it is at night though.
Bellflower DMV is lit well into the night.

I am going to be on a work trip near Long Beach next Monday but definitely staying somewhere in Long Beach in the afternoon/evening. Are the double sided curbs by the beach still maintained at all? It's been a minute since I've been that way but if memory serves correctly, they're by the lifeguard station. Thanks for the all of the previously mentioned curb spots near the water as well!

Appreciate this thread. Heading to LA Friday then long beach Saturday & Sunday to skate.
Look forward to checking the dollar tree curbs.

Having a go for curb spots in San Pedro, any info much appreciated!

I'm not sure if this is a curb spot, but last time I was in Long Beach a few months ago, I heard people talking about a DIY. What's there and where's it at?

Tons of stuff. Parking block ledges, gaps, over rails, quarter pipes.

@TastyBurrito could be wrong because it’s been a while since I have been there but I think those are the Firestone banks in San Gabriel river bed off the 605

Thank you both. I had a feeling I've biked by there before. I'm gonna keep an eye out for it next time I'm pedaling thru.

@Huell Howser @EmericaTM Where does one usually park when they hit the Firestone banks? That Lil Indy go-kart parking lot?

Last time I went I parked in that park on the other side of the ditch. If you park there, right when you get into the ditch is also the little kicker over gap that Lutzka frontside 360 kickflipped. Just skate on down towards Firestone and the banks are just right there under the road.

I hope not. I drove by last Friday to scope it out and I believe I saw those quarter pipes and some other obstacles. Thank you for the directions Emerica TM. I’ll drive by this weekend if I have time.

If there was a flatbar under Firestone, it's gone now. Banks are still good though and the little diy quarters under the train tracks are fun. I was riding to work the other morning and met Lance Mountain skating there.

TBH the target parking lot is a better bet. That business complex with the Sherwin Williams seems to be building a gate so it may not be accessible much longer...
