The riverdale ditch is more then in action, it gets ripped on the daily. Keep it clean - a lot of patch work has been put into that place

mmmmmmmm..... LaCueva... GBMII knows my feeling about LaCueva. Life doesn't get any better.
In Webster's
under the entry:
LaCueva: 1. fun, 2. buttery, 3. smooth and speedy but controllable, 4. Bomb or cruise... your choice. 5. Expensive homes lined ditch in New Mexico, green grass in the desert, with sun bathing betties...(see skateboarding).

NM ditches, dry, in June? Yeah sure. But hot as hell. Only skatable in the early mornings or the late evenings. Otherwise they become a solar oven from late May to early August, anytime from 10am to 4pm. Still worth the drive though. To maximize your skating fun, come from late August to early October, but June is still a good month.

Thanks GBMII
I love that Ventura ditch, hopefully it will dry up by Lowes, that part is epic.
La Cueva rules too, one of my favs for sure.
I was pretty sure we didn't miss too much KLee, just was really curious, sounds like we got a couple new ones to check out next time as well, got to like that.

K-Lee; Balloon Fiesta is kinda flat but BIG. Lots of cool one-hits, gaps and spines there though.

I still need to scope out the ditch at the Balloon Fiesta Park, and Encantado (same ditch?), and lower 3-mile (past the park, I guess that would be called 4th Mile ditch maybe....), and Mama Bear (should we even consider that a ditch?), and.....I've never skated the one at Bridge and Unser (always wet), and there's one somewhere near a school somewhere that I have no directions or names for, but I've seen it and it looks rideable (the magic mystery ditch that is so indescript that no-one will ever find it, my secret gem! yeah right). OH, and that Tanoan thing.
Anyone ever skate the dams way up in the foothills? Not ditches, DAMS.
So, there ya go Dan, you HAVE skated Ventura, we were just calling it Lowes. And you've also skated La Cueva, so it's not overlooked by us!

(68.35.nnn.nnn)
Danno; It takes a while - even for a local - to skate all the good ditches in Albuq.
Ventura is an often overlooked jewel in the heights. Ventura is north of Harper. It runs from Holbrook to I-25 (ending behind Lowes) just south of Paseo, on about the same pitch as Indian School. It is "wet" a lot of the time and it requires a pick up at the bottom to run the whole thing, so it gets overlooked often for "easier" ditches.
Also overlooked is LaCueva, up above the Carmel ditch (and the High School)where we had the race this year, east of Wyoming. It's kind of like a cross between Indian School and the Bear. Huge asymetric buttery walls with better tranny than the Bear. The pitch is kinda light, so if there's un uphill wind it's slow, but if it's a slack wind or downhill it's an all time must-hit.
And "good" is relative. Some people like parking blocks at 3-mile and Eldorado best, some like 4-hills (a real screamer). Concussion or Live Oak are northeast gems too. The 200 yards of terror (Tanoan) shown in Concrete Wave #3 ABQ article is by far the steepest thing I've dropped on a pintail. Too bad it ends up dirt/cactus/tumbleweeds.
And don't even get me started on the west side.....

Hey GBMII,
I'm not a loc but I've been out to ABQ 3 times this year with a guide and thought I hit all the ditches.
Which one is Ventura?
I know the 2 pino ditches have lots of names(Harper, et al..), is it one of those? is this an eastside ditch?
