I love it! Such memories! We skated this parking lot full of curbs at an old folks home for a few years. Wax those curbs n slide n grind forev! We started getting booted, until the old folks complained, guess they loved watching us both destroy the curbs, but also give the security guys hell! Gods bless those cool ass old folks! Think it helped that we skated to firehose , not usual punk rock stuff at the ramp we had when older.

Natas in Wheels of Fire, Tom Knox in Speed Freaks, Eric Dressen In Streets On Fire and Matt Hensley in that H Street video opened my mind to what was possible on curbs... 1993 in Atlanta Dave Holbrook R.I.P. used a caulk gun, tube if Liquid Nails industrial adhesive to glue a piece of angle iron about10 feet long onto a granite curb in front of his house to do slappees on, we skated that for hours at a time. I bet it’s still there...

Absolutely fantastic. There was an eight foot curb in the corporate park behind my house that I must have slid and grinded 1000's of times in the late 80s and early 90s. I never thought of it back then, but it was kind of a dance. It's funny when I drive by it now. It's just another curb. Grizzled, un-waxed, un-touched. That curb and I share a secret though, and that secret is awesome.

Jeff, I had your board and I loved it! Beautiful board. Red stained canadian maple. Rode that thing everywhere until I discovered driving and girls. You signed a sticker for me at a demo that you and John did in Whittier I still have it somewhere. I learned to skate vert at Skate City (still have my ID). Tighten your trucks all the way and follow me. That was my lesson. Curbs do rule. Another thing is that you could spend hours with some surf wax and a curb.
