Years ago in Skateboarder Mag,there was a article on two huge ditches.One was in Hemitt, Calif. these guys as I recall were kneeboarding on these huge inclines.Was I dreaming?The other one was In La Brea (tar pits?)they showed a photo of it before and after the city destroyed it for skateing.Anyone remember this or is it my age playing more tricks on me.Thanks Minnesota Dave

Dude, the DownHill Billies are based in Statesville and we have been scouting for banks....we do have one spot that's pretty fun that requires to be ridden late at night. Drop me an email with your contact information.
Also, if you are into longboarding, downhilling, want to try slalom, or just want to have a killer time with some cool ass skaters come to the August Skate Jam at Hobby Park in Winston-Salem on August 20th (there is a flyer about the jam at Exodus skate shop). See our website for details. Even if you don't have a board come on out. There will be plenty of rides to share.

The klub that shall not be named, will be holding a race on Saturday August 13th. It will be a head-to-head, double elimination, hybrid slalom race on the hill in Rio Rancho. Possibly a dragrace-style downhill race after. We will be doing it early in the AM to avoid the heat (yes, I mean the cops). $5.00 buy in, winner take all cash, schwag to some others.
More details in a couple of days.
Oh yeah, just to keep it on topic, we will not be skating any ditches that day.

Toy Town Team--Aroyo spillway

MSK Trip out We were both on the Toy Town Team. Pardon the typos on last note girlfriend typed while I dictated.I'm pretty sure I have seen that spillway before but never skated it. Howard! That guy was a tripper. I probably went to about 3 or 4 parks with the team.I saw him slap one of his boys in the face for something.I think it was one of his sons. If it wasn't he probably got in big trouble. One night returning from a park, Upland I think,one of the kids was acting up and Howard pulled over on the 10 west bound near Covina and from what I remember he left the kid on the side of the freeway. The kid was probably 13 yrs old. I had long blond hair at the time and I rode a yellow Powell with yellow Gyros. I think a guy named Bill Wells took me to the team for the 1st time . He lived in Rosemead off of Rosemead Blv. Howard did take a bit of pictures of those trips.Do you remember a shreader named Lance Caboda? LOng haired Asian dude.Or John Vermillia. LOng blond hair, missing front tooth .Later for now.

Jon-
I must have skated with you at some point back then. I was one of the original members of the Toy Town team, but I got kicked off pretty early for disagreeing with Howard Zwick (the trippy owner). He wanted everyone to ride Variflex boards, and I insisted on riding my own homemade decks, which didn't sit well with him. I only got to go on one of those skatepark trips, to the Runway.
Here's a shot of the Arroyo Spillway (taken today):

MSK don't know about the aroyo area ditch. Never skated the whamm-o bank, but my friends used to score bicentenial frisbies from the dumpster when I went to San Gabriel High School for one year in '79. I've known Rudy Navarro for a loit of years. We met on the Toy Town skate board team in about the late '70's . He was the best out of all of us. Toy Town was on Valley Blv. And the trippy ower would take a lot of us kids in the back of a chicken waggon to lots of parks. Rudy ended up singing in a punk band called The Stains. The Blood Bowl is that the same as the Cherry Bowl? I'm not sure where the Cherry Bowl was but, I have been to that pool you mentioned. I remember one skater there who had red wheels and his board was silent and I remember Rudy getting 4 wheels out and someone it a micro edger. I also remember Rudy drilling holes in his trucks and gluing flint in them so it would make sparks when he would grind. He ended up hanging out with the Dog Town guys in the later days in Venice. Rudy can get 3/4 up in the full pipe at Upland. Was it Upland with the full pipe? The same one that Tom Inoye would fly out of into the bowl. Later Dude. Jon

Hey Jon-
Are you talking about the spillway next to Arroyo HS? I used to skate there all the time from about '74 to '77, until all the skateparks showed up. We always called it the Arroyo Spillway. Used to get chased by the cops, and would jump the fence and tear through the school halls to ditch them. Its now part of a county park, and there's a bike path along the top, so its legal to be in there now (at least on top of the ditch)...
The Chevron bank is still there (repaved not too long ago), and in fact I skated it just a few months ago.
Did you ever skate the Whamm-o bank (right off San Gabriel Blvd, just below Broadway, next to the railroad tracks)? Or the banks at the school on Sierra Madre, just east of Hastings Ranch Rd, in Pasadena (both spots RIP)?
Rudy Navarro- Now there's a name I haven't heard in a while. I used to ditch 5th period every Thursday afternoon with Rudy and a few others (Steve Stathes, Jeff Locke) to go up to Oxnard and skate at Endless Wave. Rudy and I got busted together at the Blood Bowl (square pool in El Monte, on Elrovia), and spent the night in jail...
