The Shape
The curb is the piece that lives out on the desk. At 2cms tall it's low commitment from flat, the top edge takes grinds and slides down its whole 15.5cms run, and it stacks into any line you build around it.
What Is Monument Crete?
Monument Crete is our own cast stone: a polymer gypsum composite reinforced with glass fiber, hand poured in small batches in Rochester, NY. Pick a piece up and the first thing you notice is the weight. Every one is solid stone all the way through, no hollow core, and the surface rides like polished concrete: smooth, hard, and fast under a wheel. That's why the line is called Monument: each piece is made the way a monument is made, poured into a mold, cured, and finished by hand, and it lands in your hand like one. Riding it feels like grinding the polished granite base of a statue in a city park, minus the security guard. The glass fiber holds the edges and corners where grinds hit hardest.
Second Generation Pour
V2 is the second generation of Monument Crete, and more than the mix changed. The pour carries more glass fiber for tougher edges and corners, the molds are upgraded materials that cast a finer, cleaner surface, and the Sterling Gray pigment is slightly updated. Same weight class, stronger and sharper where it counts.
Wear and Patina
The riding surfaces scuff, mark, and darken where you ride, the same way real street concrete builds a patina. Truck marks on the edges are part of the look, not a defect you need to worry about. Wipe it with a dry cloth and keep it dry.
On the Desk
Every piece ships with a sheet of non-slip foam tape for the base, so it stays planted on a desk without sliding around. It's dense, so treat it like the stone it is and don't drop it on hard floors.
The Monument Crete V2 Parking Curb is a fingerboard street obstacle in solid cast stone, poured, cured, and hand finished in Rochester, NY the way a real monument is made, with the heft to match: 6.4 oz of stone that plants itself on the desk and wears like real concrete. A parking curb is the first spot most skaters ever grind, and this is that block at fingerboard scale, with a flat half inch riding surface running the full length.
