@Duckisa Yeah, we did that back in the day. The local government was remodeling a path and road, so we decided to take six pieces of curb, each around three feet long, which gave us a total of 18 feet. I remember we got them, waxed them up, but it didn't really work. So we went home to paint them with gloss paint the next day. However, my friend got there first and used water-based wall paint instead. We told him it was the wrong paint, and we painted over it with gloss, but it just came off. Luckily, one of our dads suggested using his boat clear coat, and it worked like a charm. We skated that thing more than anything else for years. I'm glad I did because I've learned slappy tricks, leant blunts, pop out, pop over, etc. Plus, now that I'm older, I'm expected to know slappy tricks, which I'm lucky to have learned from the curb stones. Unfortunately, we didn't have any outdoor parks in the North UK near us, and we couldn't afford indoor parks at that age. But when I moved to my first place at 17, it had a basic park with a mini ramp. What I learned on that curb made it much easier to pick up tricks on the coping, such as getting into grinds, blunts, pop out, etc. I think everyone starting out should get a flat bar or even better, a curb, as what you learn on that can be applied to ledges, ramp coping, rails, etc.
I had to chip back some extra concrete around a new ejector pit the other day, and the builder had pulled the edge of the moisture barrier up around the pit and the slab had done the same thing against the poly moisture membrane, i was a little blaffled by how smooth and polished the surface had become, just by accident. I could totally see it being outstanding as a skating surface.
I’ve made my own concrete molds forever. I’m 34 and since I was a young kid I’ve been building up skate spots and never thought to use construction plastic🤯 I mean I’ve made stuff for the cloud break skate team in 2003, thrasher skate team in 2005, get gnarly skate team in 2016. Using plastic will eliminate me having to carry lacquer and a blow torch. I like to use the blow torch after the lacquer is dry to adhere the wax in every crevice. Thanks my guy
I coulda told ya that woulda happened. Concretes finish is based off how you trowel it. That dried upside down on plastic and the surface was never touched. You can also polish concrete which would probably work super well too, just wear a respirator
@@pizzadude6615 dry systems too. They use the big cyclone vacuums. Usually used in the finish stage. Would still wear respirator though as there is always some dust. I work a lot with different types of flooring and often have to refinish the concrete to either make it less polished or more polished (if epoxy)
Mad respect! Pro tip: Melamine is cheaper, smoother and no need for plastic or CNC my friends. Add lots of fiberglass flakes to make that thing unbreakable.
I've tried everything from skating to mtb. I've gotta give skaters props for how easy you guys make it look sometimes. bmx just about anyone can pick up and learn
If you use only wood, use a paint brush to rub on some used motor oil to the wood...ALSO!!! I promise it'll help, go to a hardware store, buy even 1 piece of rebar run it right in the middle.. scrap sign post, landscaping stakes,etc..
You didn’t need plastic. Just some sort of form release agent like oil or diesel. Then you wouldn’t have the ripples from the plastic left in your finished product.
No rebar? It’s probably gonna get heat stressed fractures if it gets really hot then cold. You only really need one or two rebar rods running the length of it to give some flexibility so it don’t crumble.
Excellent work! Just a heads-up, "most smoothest" isn't a thing. Smooth, smoother, smoothest. You should've said "...the perfect, smoothest curb cover."
Remember when street skating was just rolling from spot to spot? A few hits, then bail before cops or security shows up? Or you could spend an entire afternoon building the perfect parking block to skate......
to make it not stick to the forms use oil they make form oil but any oil will do like used motor oil or diesel fuel not recommended if using over natural grade but over concrete i see no harm
Looks awesome 👍
1 pcs of rebar would have made it alot more solid tho.
How
Yeah these are amateurs just like this clown ^^
@@Ty_roneit’ll be way more prone to cracking without one
@@clapclapscream hmm okay
Concrete will always crack. No getting around it.
Take a saws-all and remove the blade, run it up and down the sides and your air bubbles will be released in a fraction of the time!
Wouldn't the guard be in the way?
@@ryanb3329 the guard is what I use to make the magic happen.
@@ryanb3329 no, it actually helps. u press the guard flat against the surface
Can confirm this works for epoxy pours as well 👌
Wow smart
This is glorious. Yes
Now make it 30 -40 foot long :)
Damn took the words right out my mouth lol
If u just make a regular curb and stamp it with the back side of a stamp mat or a plastic with a 2x4 it makes a very similar effec
Fuck yeah it needs to be long bro to slide further like butter

Skaters are some resourceful people.
Skater to carpenter in a pinch I like the resourcefulness

I like that... Also, you can "find" one of the removable plastic temporary parking curbs... Those were always fun

Use diesel or form oil to stop it from sticking to the mold 👍
I’m surprised it didn’t break 😂
Yeah lol needs some rebar or scrap metal or something😭
Give it couple more days and I’ll go break it or take it look so fun
@@Joeyskates10 so fun it should be illegal?

Rebar for you your next attempt but it was great and I love seeing industrious skaters
I feel like this has a lot of potential for other skateable features🙌

It’s amazingly what four dudes and a plan can do and just be happy with life I love it
no reinforcement???
Skateboarders arent known for their intelligence.
@@SilentxKillerx5
i‘m a skateboarder
@@Garone1998😂
@@SilentxKillerx5is reinforcing concrete supposed to be common knowledge? lmao
@@TheLargeLord It's pretty damn common knowledgeable.
You guys have made this park amazingly lol and that curb is awesome irl
I would have added a little bit of rebar. But that is a dope execution!!! Great job!
Should have put rebar in the center.
Random asf but I remember my homie won a curb from a phx am years ago .. seeing this reminded me of that it was dope
If you use only wood, use a paint brush to rub on some used motor oil to the wood...ALSO!!! I promise it'll help, go to a hardware store, buy even 1 piece of rebar run it right in the middle.. scrap sign post, landscaping stakes,etc..
Instructions not clear, chemical burns destroyed my penis.
Wish you guys did more videos sessioning these kinds of spots
Lol just found it
That’s dope!!!
Pour using some of that corrugated plastic roofing , or plexi , it’s like glass after you peel it off , so slick .
"the perfect most smoothest curb" god shorts are frying my brain
Good job dale
Have you experimented with different aggregate material and water concentrations to make the slickest concrete?
There’s a plastic you can leave on anything that dries like that and it makes it reflect rainbow on the surface.
You should’ve put a piece of rebar across the whole length like in the center of the pour
So using a power sander to viberate the form will make your castings alot smoother
I would say the smaller sediments made their way to the bottom which creates a finer grit of the concrete
What is the radius of a curb up there? I'm writing from Nicaragua.
you need to look into glass fiber reinforced concrete, that would make it even better
Good idea
Looks like a tootsie pop that was in the heat then re hardened.
THE MOSTEST SMOOTHESTEST
When u skater an part time construction worker
Dude y’all should totally revisit this and put mesh and rebar in it and you could use the rebar to extend out and make a handle to make it mobile
There is rebar in it
Good job boys
When you bring the smart friend out for the sesh
Should make 3 more and put them back to back so you have a bigger section since that is so small.
It was made with love.
What if ya make one out of a wax type plastic mold of some sort?
Could use melamine for the mold
Man disovers polished concrete 😂
This is insane effort to make a super simple mould😂
It’s the GD plastic… so simple.. I’ve gone to the trouble to recess a plastic plate along the top but this is the way
You didn’t need plastic. Just some sort of form release agent like oil or diesel. Then you wouldn’t have the ripples from the plastic left in your finished product.
Nice one
You can spray pam on the form to release.

So epic
Most smoothest 😂
Most smooooooothest
Excellent work! Just a heads-up, "most smoothest" isn't a thing. Smooth, smoother, smoothest. You should've said "...the perfect, smoothest curb cover."
Wipe down the wood with diesel before the pour and it won’t stick! 👍🏼
Would that be an inverted superdude 180 late finger shuv
they should make the curb go all they way down the slope
Next time add a piece of rebar after you’ve filled it halfway. It’s still going to break but not a quickly as it will without it.
Hey I watched this whole video a few weeks ago
They don't use plastic to release wood from concrete forms for foundations but regardless cool video
And not a single stick of rebar, skip the plastic and throw oil on your mold 😊
Should have added rebar so it will last longer
Looks incredible, curious how heavy it is
Probably as heavy as a parking curb 🙃
About 170lbs
I want one
Rebar?
Next time put a steel reinforcing bar through for added strength
Should toss some rebar in there, it won’t break as easily.
Most SMOOTH
What kind of plastic?
Smoothing
How do i buy one of those curbs? Lol
Google prefab parking blocks and there's likely a precast concrete manufacturer near you
Add some rebar to the next one after this breaks.
It will break in no time, because you didn't add a steel beam to it., to absorb the shock.
Shocking information.
You forgot the metal stuff that goes in concrete 😅
Rebar
@@HeinekenSkywalker636 ahh yes that’s the stuff 😂
All the cement experts in the comments going crazy
Think I’m ready to make one
Step one: find cnc machine
Remember when street skating was just rolling from spot to spot? A few hits, then bail before cops or security shows up?

Hahah yeah these clowns don’t know street skating for what it is 😂🤡
I’m sure people have been making their own dyi sense Rodney invented the mf ollie. Probably before then too
@@zavalazavala6562 🤡💩🌈
Needs some rebar
Yo it’s Dale
There's a thing called a vibro-table and it jiggles the mold to remove any bubbles inside, meaning you could get an even smoother result
to make it not stick to the forms use oil they make form oil but any oil will do like used motor oil or diesel fuel not recommended if using over natural grade but over concrete i see no harm
No rebar?
There is rebar
Juan carlos could make it more smooth by hand.
Really wish it had so.e rebat though
Next time dust it with corn starch and itll come right out
Could have jus rubbed down everything the concrete touches with oil so it wouldn't stick
Spray diesel on the wood and it doesn’t stick
Yea plastic makes the concrete sweat so it's smooth then
putting 1 piece of rebar wouldve saved u having to repeat this next year
Spray the wood with an oil and the concrete will slide off
Dale.
thats a lot of work when u can just go to a parkign garage haha
Oil the mould !
Looks like a soap mold.
