    Hit that "like" button under the video if you enjoy skating curbs! Skating during a pandemic feels.. selfish? But curbs are a good way to keep sane, still skateboarding, while keeping it low impact avoiding any situations you rather not be in :)

    One thing I always overlook when rubbing back concrete or dealing with any type of concrete dust etc is the dust mask lol

      Same, honestly I didn't use one foreverrrrr. Sometimes I'd just throw my shirt over my nose, until working with a few homies that made me take it more serious ha.

    definitely helped me out, living in london most of our curbs are old super crusty ones, but there's a few newer housing developments that have these style curbs that are suitable for this (albeit a little rainbeaten) rub brick worked a charm smoothing them out

  • @larrylamonts1483
    @larrylamonts1483 3 года назад

    Best thing to do is find one in an abandoned spot and use parking lot/ curb pant. I can only ever find handicap blue but it's dope. Once dry one good wax job and it's butter. Rough curbs are fun when without chunks. A little tougher to go and tech grinds can be harder but the sound and feeling is awsome

    I've always wondered - can you apply clear coat after waxing? I thought it was done right after rub bricking?

    • @P1Brand
      @P1Brand 4 года назад

      Totally fine to clear coat on top of wax...and wax again. It’s an endless cycle that’s required to maintain a spot. I wax my local spot before every session.

    • @ZackDowdy
      @ZackDowdy  4 года назад

      Ideally you want to clear coat BEFORE waxing. If you wax then add clear coat your clear coat is sitting on top of wax, so then you're grinding down wax that has clear coat vs grinding down wax and then into the clear coat.

    How long does it generally take you to rub brick a spot like that?

    • @ZackDowdy
      @ZackDowdy  4 года назад +4

      Honestly if it's already clean and no sweeping involved probably 3-5 minutes at most.

    Excellent vid. I’m always surprised by how few skaters seem to know the ‘proper’ way to butter up a mint curb. I know dudes who’ve been skating for 20+ years like me, but who don’t seem to ever have tried to get a new ledge or curb to grind. So they’ll just smear tons of wax on some crusty-ass ledge and then be surprised it still doesn’t grind for shit. Or they’ll go through a set of trucks manually grinding down and rubbing the wax into the curb. Since learning about it, I always use the rub-brick and lacquer method, and I actually get triggered when I see someone take out a candle and start waxing without doing the preliminary work, lol.

    • @ZackDowdy
      @ZackDowdy  4 года назад +2

      Haha this is so relatable man! I still have friends that bring huge bars of wax to curbs, ledges, etc.. it's a lot more work in the long run for less return. We have to spread the rub brick & lacquer method to the future generation!

    • @ariekanibalie
      @ariekanibalie 4 года назад

      @@ZackDowdy Straight facts. Also, it pays to really not skimp on the elbow grease - I was a little lazy on my last curb and din't rub-brick long enough, so it's still a little rough. Take the time to really grind that shit down properly and you'll end up with a buttery curb that'll have a nice smooth grind.

    your videos are sick and i've learned a lot. consider purchasing from and promoting lowe's instead of home depot? i have no stake in it, and you can do your own research, but i think you'll find HD is not aligned with values and world views that i perceive you (and most skaters) to care about.
