Here’s mine.  It’s not pretty, but it’s all I’ve got... and I love it.

I miss the round metal-edged curbs in New York. Those things are a slappy dream come true.

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

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.

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.

something about this curb is just so... cute
Let me preface this post with the fact that I am slightly inebriated, very uneducated and I havent read any papers or done any research at all, or read your post really.

Haha, it is a cutie.  I admire your determination sharkin.  No way that dude thought you’d actually come back and repaint it.

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 saw your mom do a ollie to cooch drop straight down the big black pole, it was gnarly. she defiantly shut that shit down

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


Moved to California recently and don’t have a new curb spot.
