Bring barrier sessions home
The OC Barrier brings the Jersey Barrier shape into your own setup for boardslides and lipslides. Fill it with water to add weight, or connect multiple barriers when you want to extend the feature. Build the session around the barrier line you want to skate.
Put the Jersey Barrier shape in your spot
Choose the OC Barrier when a barrier is the street feature you want to skate at home. Its Jersey Barrier form gives the setup a different target from a box or a rail. Think about the approach that attracts you to barrier skating and give that route a place in your layout.
Make a boardslide the session's focus
Use the barrier to work on boardslides or lipslides. Pick the approach you want to practice and keep the landing area open for another attempt. You can make the barrier the whole session or link it with the other features you already skate.
Add weight with water
The barrier can be filled with water to add weight. Plan that step when positioning it for a session, then check the setup before skating. Added weight is part of preparing the obstacle; keep the approach, landing and placement in the plan too.
Connect barriers for a longer feature
Multiple OC Barriers can connect together, letting you extend the feature when a longer barrier line suits the session. Decide how much of the spot you want to give it and plan the approach around the connected arrangement. Keep that additional riding area in mind when expanding.
Leave room for the whole approach
A barrier line needs room on the side you approach and the side you land. Before adding it to a busy setup, trace the route past nearby ramps and obstacles. Our Space and Fit guide helps you plan that shared space, whether you use one barrier or connect several.

Questions about OC Skate Barrier
How does the OC Barrier compare with a fixed ledge?
The Barrier offers a Jersey-style body that can stand alone or connect with another unit, while a fixed ledge provides a defined working edge and settled length. Choose the Barrier when its shape and modular growth matter more than owning a traditional rectangular box.
Who benefits most from starting with one Barrier and expanding later?
Start with one when a single barrier gives you the feature you want to skate now. You can connect additional OC Barriers later if you want a longer line and have room for it. Let the way you use the first barrier guide the expansion.
When does the water-fill feature create an ownership tradeoff?
Water adds settling weight after placement but makes movement and storage less convenient until it is managed. That tradeoff matters when the setup changes often. Choose the fillable Barrier when added stability is useful and the owner has a practical routine for relocating or storing it.
How can riders use the OC Skate Barrier?
Use the OC Skate Barrier as a street-inspired obstacle for line planning, approach control, and tricks that match its exact shape. Start by rolling past or over the feature, then add suitable ollies, taps, slides, or grinds only where the product geometry supports them.
Can I return the OC Skate Barrier if it is not the right fit?

The internet has all sorts of terrible ideas as to how to quiet or dampen the sound of your skateboard ramp - in particular the mini ramps (or halfpipes).
You may read about wives tales on using insulation, filling the coping with whatever, or add pillows and blankets behind the ramp. We are here to clear the air….that is all nonsense.
There are really only 2 suggestions to help quiet your mini ramp.
- You can close up the back of your skateboard ramp with ¾” thick plywood. This will eliminate the hollow sound significantly. Again, don’t read into the bogus information about filling in that empty space before you close it up with plywood. It doesn’t work. Simply closing up the backend will help with the noise. Some customers will get creative with it- we’ve seen several put hinges on the backend - making a custom door for storage, etc. That is entirely optional to make use of the space. But in terms of noise levels, close it up.
- Also using a softer gel wheel is helpful to give you the incognito vibe your neighbors won’t complain about while shredding your skateboard ramp. Generally the harder the wheel, the louder they hear ya coming! Many skaters have multiple skateboards with a different set of wheels, most prefer the harder wheels during normal street skating use & then at night we switch over to the gel softer wheels so your neighbor’s can get their precious sleep & you can shred your heart out! Not every skater likes riding a gel wheel. There are many pros/cons. For this conversation, the biggest pro for having a softer wheel is the reduced noise factor. If you have neighbors that are goin to be a narc, just throw on the soft wheels!
