Got a favorite curb spot? Let’s see it.

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

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.

Im no detective, but this comment coupled with your user name lead me to believe you are a baker.

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

..... that's a ledge.

SneakySecrets · « **Reply #7 on:** January 05, 2019, 12:56:25 PM »

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.

Paco Supreme · « **Reply #9 on:** January 08, 2019, 02:35:15 AM »

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?

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

sharkin · « **Reply #15 on:** January 08, 2019, 10:12:01 AM »

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.

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

yapple dapple · « **Reply #19 on:** January 08, 2019, 02:34:33 PM »

I'm breaking in this place too.

planman · « **Reply #20 on:** January 08, 2019, 03:26:15 PM »

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.

redcurb12 · « **Reply #21 on:** January 08, 2019, 03:32:19 PM »

those curbs look like they're incarcerated

doublesteveburger · « **Reply #24 on:** January 09, 2019, 08:52:18 AM »

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.

They're pretty much everywhere here. Business complexes have some good set ups, as do Home Depots and other big markets
