    Doc, everywhere needs something like that. Including here... it's an hour drive to those puppies for me. And that's just too far.

    Imagine what those ditches are going to look like with some of the best (and craziest) downhillers in the world trying to prove themselves.

    Looks nuts, man. Concrete is fun, regardless of the length of your board.
    We have the advantage of a desert atmosphere... it doesn't rain much, but when it does, we need 40 foot deep ditches.

    I wish there was 1 good Ditch by my house. I'v been to FDR skatepark in Philly a few time and thats NUTS also. You get mondo speed and it flows like a wave. I have a 36' pool deck that work more then great there.

    Default danger?

    Aren't those ditches a little dangerous? I remeber seeing vid of some kids who were skating in one get swept away when a ton of water started coming down.

    D.Max, I took the picture of Joe Timeship... he's a good friend, part-time employer, and the founder of TimeShip Racing. He's also the one that put together the Sandia Challenge & Bear Slalom in September.
