A tricking sport that is on the rise in
Seattle, Washington. Involves jumping onto the curb of a sidewalk and planting you feet on the top and side of the curb, then jumping off.
A curb stall consists of 3 main components: First you have the departure, this step consists of jumping to the curb you wanna stall. The next is the pinch, this is the action of putting
one foot on the curb and
one foot on the side of it. The pinch can be a tight one or a loose one, depending on the type of stall you want to do. Then you have your release, the action of releasing your current stall. This can either be used to end a stall, or even connect your stall to more stalls, which is called a stall line. Curbstalling is an easy, and more importantly, a fun way to spend your time walking around
Seattle with its many curbs and other stallable architecture.
“Hey man have you heard about that new
thing kids are doing in
Seattle?”
“Oh yeah man, it’s called curbstalling right?”
“Yeah I can’t wait to curbstall on the curbs and benches near my house, it sounds super
fun!”
