@@demetriusantuna3870 no but I remember telling you that you would get your ass kicked if you came to blow up our spot that only lasted a few months because you’re a kook 🤡
I used to live in Northside and see you skate all the time at the school I always shopped absorb at galaxie and put all my friends on rip keep shredding bro
I need to know that music over Joe Jackson awesome part. Some of the sounds had me thinking about Zombies Ate My Neighbors 😅 Could use bangers like to keep feeding the fire under my ass to go skate that these videos ignited!
I go with 8.5 board(square nose with a goo amount of pocket on both nose and tail) Film trucks (6.0/155) 58mm dragon wheels Wide board, wide trucks, bigger wheels definitely made slappies easier for me. Good luck!
I grew up skating in the early 90s and I guess we skated curbs and people did slappies, but they weren’t considered anything special. Guys who did slappies were the leftover 80s guys doing bonelesses still instead of learning to ollie. They definitely were attached to the guys of the late 80s who never transitioned with the modernization the 90s ushered in; slappies were for, “hessian skaters”, who still didn’t want to ollie. My point is that I find it absolutely fascinating now, a 1/4 century later to see that it’s become a genre itself, “curbs/slappies”, and is becoming mainstream in its own right. It’s actually great, because after Jamie Thomas sort of ruined skateboarding for what seemed to be permanently, via his Evel Knievel stunting, it seemed like skating was only going to be for daredevils willing to be crippled by 25. This gives a whole new life to skating, the same way BATB’s did via flat ground fillip tricks. I loved flat ground flip tricks themselves, but again, as the 90s pushed on, flat ground alone was never gonna be good enough, until BATB popularized it enough to open up opportunities to guys like Jamie Griffen and Johnny Giger. They’d haven’t a chance at skating in my era at all, same way that Rodney Mullen was sorta faded and phased out of skating until recently when he was given accolades and solidified and recognized as the cornerstone of modern skating. So, I think it’s awesome that because of social media, skaters themselves get to sorta decide the direction of skating, and the industry leaders don’t! And it’s good for the industry leaders too because more people will skate when they see that they aren’t forced into a specific mold in order to garner respect among their peers (not that that ever happened locally, but it certainly was the case nationally with regard to what was in and out, and what was good and what wasn’t). With all that said, watching the first guy’s part, I get the sensation of overkill again, where the combos are too many, too squeezed in, for too short a duration to count, and the flow out is sketchy as a result. The sad reality is that the same conundrum that presented itself in the 90s begins to present itself here: what becomes too much, that it’s just ugly or unappealing??
@@curb_junkies some watching, may want to know some history. I was on the periphery of a major transitioning point in skating, and watched, and rubbed shoulders with some of the legends, as it went down. One of the kids I first started skating with was skater of the year and had a shoe with Vans. For some of us, the history, the progression, the trends, and analysis of the sport in general is as important now, as it was knowing where skating came from and who was responsible for what, before I was born. No one was allowed to shut up and just skate, not if they wanted to be respected. That’s why guys like Mullen and Gonz, etc., still get acknowledgments in the community: because the bricks laid, and knowing who laid them, and remembering where skating has been, and thinking about where it is going, has always been culturally embedded with the action of skating itself. No one stressed that more than Jake Phelps or Jeff Grosso, who made an entire show dedicated to respecting skatings’ roots. And it’s not for nothing the legends from my era are doing interviews and hosting exhibits in museums in LA. I get your sentiment, but it’s off base with regard to how skaters treat skaters that came before them, or how skaters absorb our own history as a right of passage that sorta is no different than paying dues, as in due respect. And it didn’t matter if it was Jamie Thomas or the oldest local park legend doing the talking. You know who gets that, Andy Anderson. He’s probably the only kid under 30 that could tell you who popularized curb skating, originally!
Curb Junkies, getting back into skating after 23 years has been amazing. Now, I must ask your professional opinion. I will soon glue down (liquid nail heavy duty) a couple 2 sided parking curbs to form one single long curb. What filler would you recommend to fill inbetween the space crack? I have seen you use JB Steel Stick in one video and was wondering your overall recommendation. I have also seen somethgin called "Sika Anchoring Adhesive". Could anyone out there recommend? I tried Bondo on a curb but it eventually cracked away.
@curb_junkies One more question please if I may that I should have asked the first time. Is there any particular concrete adhesive that you would recommend to glue concrete curbs to the ground?
What’s with the one guy and the gloves? Anyone know I figured it was for grab tricks or that he does a lot is slides with a hand down but this video doesn’t show that.
So honored to have a few clips with so many legends !!! Thanks for putting me in with the community and sharing all these memories. Make me smile

So sick to see an Irish lad should up in this Dave Hurley
Inspiring vid! What would be a good slappy board setup these days, anyone got any advice? Board width, best trucks, wheel size etc?
It's all preference, just take the board you have now and go skate some curbs. Go from there.
I go with
8.5 board(square nose with a goo amount of pocket on both nose and tail)
Film trucks (6.0/155)
58mm dragon wheels
Wide board, wide trucks, bigger wheels definitely made slappies easier for me.
Good luck!

Steel Stick has worked well. Have not heard of the Sika stuff.
@@curb_junkies Thank you. And also, thank you for producing such content. It gets me Puuuuuuuuuumped!!!!!!!!
@curb_junkies One more question please if I may that I should have asked the first time. Is there any particular concrete adhesive that you would recommend to glue concrete curbs to the ground?
@@LinkMassing Any exterior caulk, mainly for concrete. Make sure to clean the surface of dust/debris before setting.
@@curb_junkies Thank you. Looking into stress tests, it appears Loctite PL holds a pretty good rating
What’s with the one guy and the gloves? Anyone know I figured it was for grab tricks or that he does a lot is slides with a hand down but this video doesn’t show that.
It's all a mystery.
How do I join this club?!
If you're here, you're in.
