Dirt & brush
On 3/29/2006 Paul wrote in from United States  (132.175.nnn.nnn)

Looks like the city decided to clean up the brush along the north side of the ditch and ending up pushing it and some dirt into the ditch itself. From what I could see they picked up the brush but the dirt remains, it looks like it's only in a couple of isolated spots, nothing a couple brooms and shovels couldn't deal with.

The School

Big huge piles of trash and debris? Heavy equipment in the middle of the ditch? Sounds like Palmer's going for "natural cones" this year, and upping the "gnarly factor" by a considerable amount!

Native American Educational Facility

Yeah, We were up there the other day and there were several piles of brush, dirt, rocks, cinder blocks, and other assorted stuff in the ditch. it was wierd too, it looked like someone had driven a bobcat or something down the side and at random intervals just pushed trash into the ditch.

It made for an interesting ride down.

Yeah, I couldn't find anything on the website either. I drove by yesterday and there was a huge pile of dirt and brush in the ditch 1/2 way between Chelwood and Juan Tabo, and piece of heavy equipment in the ditch between the foot bridge and Chelwood. I'll check it out on the way home today...

Where? I looked all over the site and couldn't find the "Spring Projects" anywhere, nor could I find any mention of Embudo either. Got a link? What part of the site did you see this on?

??!!??

PR Ditch
On 3/26/2006 Dog Dick wrote in from United States  (71.114.nnn.nnn)

I've heard of that ditch in Puerto Rico and was wondering if that was the only drainage ditch there? Haven't been there yet but if I did would mind having a ditch to skate.

tropical ditch
On 3/26/2006 Anthony wrote in from United States  (68.49.nnn.nnn)

I saw a ditch in the wilds of Puerto Rico last year that looked just like the Bunker, but even more massive. It was fenced in and I couldn't poach it as I was with non-skater types. It was somewhere in the interior. Anyone ever skate it or have photos??

Hey where is that last picture from? Is that the Bunker? If so where the hell is it, I need to skate that place. Also anyone know of some good ditches in Los Angeles/San Diego Area (Anywhere in SoCal). I am aching to get in some. All help would be appreciated for a newcomer to this area

tombstone trash
On 3/22/2006 Gerri wrote in from United States  (207.193.nnn.nnn)

So I went to the tombstone this morning hoping to have a good skate session but it was hard to ignore the b.s. graffiti that some punks wrote about all the skaters that go there and the paint that was splattered everywhere (actually it kind of helped us out, we were gonna paint it anyway) but moving the parking blocks and throwing trash everywhere is not cool. I ended up cleaning and straighting up more than skating.So this is a call out to the H.S.F.Y.C. crew, we need to make time to paint,set up,and clean the place even if nobody else does. It's too good of a ditch to let go of man. Lets get together and do this. Please respond.

Bunker
On 3/20/2006 jaybyrd wrote in from Mexico  (207.17.nnn.nnn)

Ant,

Nice picture of the Bunker but it's not able to show how fast you were really going. Since ya'll took this picture my son and I have been back with some other friends and even have done some night riding, which is awesome. I have noticed that when my son starts his runs he seems to find some of the same lines you were laying down. I would like to thank you for showing my son how to attack something without overthinking it. I believe he rides with more confidence now, and does'nt concentrate on "what if" rather he's able to ride with less fear and more fun.

Again, nice run.
John

See Ya

it's on the road to Philomath, just down past Wendell Gee's. look for the powerlines that have floaters so the airplanes don't get caught.
