The idea of watering your slappy curb every day is hilarious!

@memorysometimers3067 5 ай бұрын

Freshly poured concrete needs it or it will crack fast. You can actually spray water on 10 year old concrete and if you sit and watch the concrete will slowly take some hydration.

Thanks for the video Ben. Love the step by step. I never knew why my 8" trucks felt so good on my 8.25" board. You hit it on the head. It feels like it flips easy like a smaller board. But the tiny bit bigger deck inspires confidence to land cleaner. I live in the Lower Mainland as well. Maybe I will run into at one of the local parks you've featured.

@zerodicjcorez9173 5 ай бұрын

im going to try the same, my 8inch board and trucks dont feel good anymore plus im a size 11 shoe :(

@mikethomson6546 5 ай бұрын

@@zerodicjcorez9173 You won't be disappointed. When I started skating again. I went from my classic 7.75 to 8. It felt huge. Now 8 feels small. 8.25 - 8.50, truck size one size smaller is such a nice feeling. If you can get past the "magic carpet" look. You will kill it at flat ground and everything else. The board flips faster but you have way more to land on. Also not riding a pencil on trasition is nice.

Got to say, this is the best use of a backyard tennis court, jelouse. Ive got the space but a sloped block and we have to actully leave home to skate, like get in the car leave as the roads here are country roads and no good, really chunky blue metal . One day ill get a slap put in the machine shed $$$ so we can skate year round and ive already saved your half pip tutorial and this is going in the same ideas file. Thank Ben . Lol your yokel drall gave me a giggle.

we got everything here in philly, where i recently moved...first time living in a city this skate-able. like 50 feet from my door there is a ledge that stays waxed and across the street a slappy little sidewalk curb. the only thing we don't have is skateable flat ground..great obstacles everywhere but the sidewalks and pavement are terrible

I love that you modeled the design on the Santa Monica curbs which I have lusted after many many times in skate videos. That makes this like 3 times as cool, it's calling on skate spot history. About as cool as it gets for a video about making a curb. Worthy of a spot in the skateboarding archives

Rad. This was fun to watch. I made a glorified parking block for the sidewalk in front of my house. One of my biggest mistakes was not mixing the concrete wet enough. I also made the edges way too sharp which tore up my board & trucks pretty quickly. I eventually got a rub brick & rounded the edges to about .75 radius which made it 1000% better

Hi ben!! In construction we use when ,we dont have the specific liquid for de molding, kerosene or diesel fuel it’s greasy enogh and armored concrete, I don’t know how you call it in canada or use in argentina is hormigon armado you always use rebars and the way is to put 3 in a triangle or four in case of real concrete and we use what we call estribos which is a square rebar every 15 or 20 cm tying the rebars together so that takes te cut effect on the structure but the sort thing is allways use rebars!!!!
