Any Barrier Kult fans?

now you want to buy a barrier??
i think you should calm down on the spending spree...
i'll look after it for you

It's either buy one or steal one. I'll probably steal one from the football stadium and carry it to a DIY spot. There's just no skateable barriers here.

buildiing your own spots is the best.

we've built one here in rochester (RIP) and then one in detroit, one in detroit had a nice barrier setup. Obviously more rollerblading oriented but still.





thats the one in detroit, i don't have any pics from the Legal Ledges in rochester, it got torn down laast summer after a bunch of kids with rice burners started meeting up there to tokyo drift

I like the first barrier picture. They definitely look skateable.

oh they are. there's skateboarders up there all the time. It was kinda cool cuz the rollerbladers all started it and then some skateboarders came up and did a whole bunch of work. kinda brought everyone together


minus the bikers, but who misses them anyways?

DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRMMMMAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNN
barriers are super fun, its the only place where having a think heavy board really works well, disasters all day

Roc, I've never had any problem skating with rollerbladers, but for some reason, they all have a problem with skaters. It's super annoying.

Pyro, the coolest thing I've ever gotten on a barrier was a nollie big spin and a nose pick. Haha, I suck at barrier skating.

I find skill level to be a major factor. Good rollerbladers generally don't have a problem with skateboarders, given they're not douches, and the same to be true for good skateboarders. I think it's once you reach a certain level you learn to respect anyone out doing what they do and that we both deal with the same shit (busts, capped spots, destroyed spots, etc). But that spot it was like, hella people would be there and skateboarders and rollerbladers would all be seshin' all be cheerin/clapping for each other and it was just a dope vibe.

skate has only enhanced my knowledge of skateboarding and thus, i can tell when dudes are rippin it and give credit where its due. knowledge is power. Hence why i like to post rollerblading videos here, despite the fact that none of you probably care.

anyways. enough thrread jacking.
