Another pig ear skateboarding control

A pig ear skateboard deterrent

Nothing special, just another ‘pig ear’ I saw the other day, fixed to a concrete wall to prevent skateboarders using the edge. A more interesting example and, in a similar vein, the Anti-Sit Archives.

  1. In my town, we went out one night, and chipped over 150 of these off ledges and redid any ledges that we broke with cement that actually looked nicer than before, so we could skate them. The will to skate with allways outwit and outperform the will of those that want to stop us.

  2. You broke these, and then replaced them with cement that looked ‘nicer than before?’…are you sure? I think that would be pretty difficult. Are you sure you don’t mean, “My vandal college friends and I went out drunk, broke some of these things off kerbs, causing loads of damage in the process. Then to top it all off we got some cement from Gav’s Dad’s garage and smudged it all over them, it was well reckless!”.

    “The will to skate will allways (sic) outwit”, but it seems your courageous, traditional, valiant game is being tragically scuppered by small bits of metal heinously appearing in surfaces everywhere, so why don’t you go and skate up the road outside your house rather than solid marble kerb paving?

  4. Skate the street?! You obviously are ignorant of what skateboarding actually is, and skate stoppers bah! at least Skater was nice enough to re cement the area. If your purposely gonna take time out of your life to mess with skaters we’ll mess back learn that now and your life will be easier.

  7. why would people do this
    skateboarding is harmful in the right hands and if people are good enough to be grinding ledges then it should be fine

    so why put these in certain places

  8. lmao yeah skate and destroy… lmao, well i personally have never seen these but seriosly why r u all complaining? if i found these id be natas spinning, stalling and grinding on them! dotn destroy a nice piece of tech when the city supplies it for you. btw george, i understand your “concern” but seriously, no joke run of the mill cement IS actually better grade then what the cities use, sheerly because of financial reasons. whose to say these guys didnt actually do a good job? i bet they did, smoother more flush edges are better then jagged ones

  9. Grow up, get a life and get a job you long haired student fucks. You’re playing on a plank of wood with 4 small gay wheels on it. Kids on scooters have more ’street cred’ than you lot. Skateboards should have been left in the 90’s when it was cool. Losers.

  14. dude in my town we clip locks of gates and skate over pig esars nd skate stoppers smash em with hammer and spray paint cop cars

  15. I used to skate back in the 90s.. The skaters now have no respect whatsoever. It’s not the fact that grinding damages the surface, it’s more the fact that the skaters leave trash etc lying around and blatantly vandalize property. They even have left trash ON a trash can before. The whole ’screw the system’ mentality died years ago, so why try to keep living it???

  16. I have no problem with skaters if they would just have some respect. Go to a goddamn skate park or skate in your own parents driveway and leaving other peoples property alone.

  19. skate stoppers are pointless skaters always find a way around stuff like this, the more people try the more of a challenge it is, and people who try to rebel are drawn to skateboarding so stuff likr this will just make them mad. And a skate park isnt an end all solution to skating the streets it can make it better but no matter what we are going to go back to spots.

  22. yo this for all the people hating on skaters..skating is the sickest thing to do with ur time and george shut up you punk
    “get a life” if you want respect you gotta give it just becouse we skate in places that robocobs dont like us skating in doesnt mean we dont have respect i bet half the people that are bitchin about this are a bunch of middle aged twits that get payed to tell skaters not to skate the property!

    anthony i woulda done the same thing and who cares even if you were drunk it only makes the job more fun
    im gunna go skate now so peace out and stop hatin on us for doing something we love to do

  23. I work at a place with a brand new building with some, I’ll admit it, sick ledges, but the fact remains that you’re fucking up someone else’s property. Would you want someone else to ride their mountain bike over your skateboard? Stupid example, but it’s the point that matters. You are still fucking up someone else’s stuff. Go fuck up your own shit.
