02 / The build

Regular skaters at Downside all agreed a new slappy curb would be a good addition to the spot, so building got underway not long after work on the Poo Pipe finished.

The obstacle is based on the same shaped curb just up the road at the Meridian Water skatepark. We added ride-on sections at both ends to create more possibilities for tricks.

03 / Concrete

Granite dust was added into the concrete mix, which helps the concrete to be more grindy and resilient.
