I thought Westerly, RI had a ditch. We have been searching for them here in CT. Mostly we have some banks, at industrial parks. Madison has one, as well as Milford, and one in Shelton.

If ANYone has info on ditches in CT - please post them here...

All ditches in CT are for drainage.
And they are always either full of water or a lot of garbage and dirt from what the water wash's down.

You can search but the chance's of finding a ridable one are slim to none.

hey could i get the location of the banks in madison? i live nearby and im looking for good stuff in this area

**ConnLongboarder** · 03-22-2010 07:37 PM

Not really sure of the location in Madison. I was there once in the 80's. It was in an industrial park area. In the back of a building - where a truck would load/unload. Not sure if it is even there now. After we went, my buddy who showed it to me informed me there was a lot of BMX riding there, and the cops were ALL over it, and busting people left and right - we never went back. But check some industrial parks, buildings, and drive around back. Let me know if you ever find it. Maybe check a BMX shop in the area - maybe the owner remembers the place or something...
