Photos of newly discovered bowl/ditch

BDirthead · 09-02-2008, 03:25 PM

A friend of mine showed me this on Sunday.I went back yesterday and spent 2 hours moving dirt and cleaning the place up. Got a couple of lines down. Super fun spot with tons of potential. Location is a secret, unless you are a close friend or Concrete Wave photographer. Action photos will follow...

Refering to the graffiti, you will need to ask " GORE " for the location. Obviously its on the West coast, Bay Area to be more specific. Its a nice gem hidden in the hills. Wish I knew about it earlier. Going back tomorrow for a CW photo shoot.

Eugene, we'll have to get the crew together and hit this spot up. I'll contact you after the photo shoot.

You see how I only invite my friends to ride it, AFTER the CW photo shoot.( I never share photo ops )

looks like a sick spot.

i also have found a few ditch spots in my town. we had to do much sweeping. makes me wonder if some surfers-skate rats did the same 30 years earlier........

Eugene Pooneil · 09-02-2008, 04:15 PM

I doubt they would put a mountainboarder on the cover, but I would be stoked to get a shot in my favorite magazine!

Ditches were the original skateparks back in the early to mid 70s. In fact, an actual ditch, the Vermont Drop, almost became the first official skatepark. The spot was so popular that LA city officials considered making it a public park, but then decided speed bumps would be a better option. A few years later, the Runway skatepark made a replica of the Drop. If you can ever get hold of any issues of SkateBoarder from '75 or early '76, you'll see a ton of ditches...

Hung, I was going to ask you. Have you rode this spot? We'll definatelly have to plan a session. Maybe we can get Jumbo to tag along and take photos.
