I used to ride ditches back in the 70's on a board that size, so yes. Better use softer noskoolz than you are planning to use to slide though.

Don't open a separate thread for every possible use of your mini.

I agree with EC, in the 70's this is what we had to ride
on banks before the boards started getting really wide.

Hopefully the board has a kicktail, and for banks you might
want to try 78A No Skools, depending and how rough the surface is.

You will probably need some riser as well with 60MM wheels.
