Flower Ditch...
On 12/31/2005 Rene CANNONBALL Carrasco wrote in from United States  (71.143.nnn.nnn)

Randifer -

Man, I can't believe how Grafitti'd OUT - and BeAt-Up
Flower Ditch got- - -
..and from the looks of those photos -
it seems like someone painted sections of it solid...
trippy,man.....hmmmmm.

I saw Arab's pics on your site -
I personally haven't seen him ride vert lately,
but looking at those pics , I remember Arab at that age -
doing his - what I'd call ...BEST skating ever -
during that time - of what I can remember...back then.

He had a smooth style - he could go rad with moves -
-but never jerky, or out of control - a 'smooth/rad' - if you will.
Arab & Lee Weber used to dominate that SANTANA TEAM SKATEBOARD RAMP.


Remember how skaters would add those 'wood extensions' to
the banks @ Flower Ditch - for heighth ?

All the times I skated there with my brothers,
I never saw any cops - or got thrown out!

It's wierd now, going to the end of Flower Street, and
seeing that 'Wall of China ' type wall they have there now.


Alot of GREAT Ditch-Riding Skate memories there!


Thanks for having that skate spot on your site.

...Yeah - we should go grab some grub
over in South County - in 2006.

Hey Rene,
I am still amazed at how clean the Flower Street ditch was back in the 70's.
It was way more overgrown with ton's grafitti by the early 80's.
Thanks for the prop's.
I just found 3 more photos... so I will be posting them on floodkontrol.com this week.
Let's hook up soon.

Im 16 and live in the Baltimore area and have been longboarding for 5 years. I just Got 1977 alva reissue board for x mas and am looking to do some ditch skateing. My friends and i have no clue of where to go. I actually live in Columbia/Ellicot City. I just really wanna get out there and skate some ditches. My friends and i are also looking for some abandon pools that are good for riding. Any info would be great. Peace
