Gerri,

Thanks,I will check it out this weekend. My son and I will be out looking for some hills to board. I've modified my 52" Gravity alittle (wheel cutouts, no wheelbite at all) and with the R2 180 trucks and 65mm kriptos that really helps. I'm ready to try it out.

Jaybyrd, you say you live near Spring? Visit DEKTOUT Skate Shop in Spring TX. And much more than the tombstone will be revealed.

New Ditches
On 10/21/2005 jaybyrd wrote in from Mexico  (207.17.nnn.nnn)

Gerri,
I understand your reluctance to disclose a sweet site. EZ7 was great for a while but taggers brought the attention of the city to it, but in the long run they did eventually declared it a skate park and just recently built a steel park there. My son and I are allways driving around and looking for new spots to board, we live just south of Spring so we might run across your ditch, but we always leave a place the way we found it (leaving only memories and nothing else, well maybe a patch of skin from my falls)

see ya.....maybe

There are tons of ditches in this city, EZ 7 is the most talked about and prob. one of the best, but i've found a couple that will rival it. As far as the tombstone ditch, it's only been skated by a handful.I've talked to the guy's that frequent it and they're not quite ready to reveal it(sorry, just need a little more time) all i can say is....The Spring area.

Hey mark,

Weekend slavery is not cool dude. But lets try for next week during the week after work, skate wherever. I actually went to the 51 after work yesterday and got about 20 mins in before it got dark. Man after 7:00pm it starts to really get dark quick out there and its hard to skate with no lights. I hate shortening days.

The tombstone ditch in Houston is sick. But lets put the actual tombstone back with the rest of the pile of rocks from which it was snagged. Parking blocks are on the way 3 of them to be exact.

Hey folks,
Does anybody have any ditch reports from our fare cowtown? I know of a few kinked ditches but nothing that I'm willing to sink my wheels into. I'd appreciate any tips from the masses.
thanks
