Get your entry fees in via PayPal, there's a link on the sign up page. It's $50 and you'll get your moneys worth riding and ripping Abq. If you truly feed the Bear we'll donate it to beer.....Now Palmer, don't get any ideas.

Ditch dreamin'

Hey ditch freaks. I made a 50 minute DVD of the Indian School/Rio Bravo Ditch weekend from April. It was sponsored by SECTOR 9 and it ROCKED !!!! The dvd has lots of the Nature Boy, Jason Mitchell, Greg Fadell, Hackett freeriding the ditch, with top-to-bottom video from behind/beside/in front. Camera action central. It shows the 3 bridges, the deathholes, the stairs so you can get to know the ditch before you get "Bikered". Footage from the bikepath, the bridges, the bottom, the top, inside the tunnels, etc.
Its got a few minutes of actual racing which features Jeff Budro, Billy Green, Hackett, Mitchell, Fadell, Palmer, Kelly Lynn, Mercado, Mollica, Brunson, James West, Lange, and others.
If you've heard about the Indian School ditch, but have never made the trip, this dvd is for you. If you've been there and want to relive, its for you. If you plan on going and want to check out the many ways to get hurt, its for you. If you dont care about the sickest ditch in the world, then its not for you.
The dvd also has a 10 minute chapter from Palmer's Pool Party/Awards and has some footy of the pool session.
I have watched the dvd several times, and its got a good soundtrack that you probably wont like. Turn down the volume and pump up your own jams.
I have always wanted to make a dvd of the Indian ditch, because once you get home, you cannot believe what you just did. It doesnt seem possible to have such a sick place to ride. Its better than any skatepark ever !!!!
$15.00, includes shipping. Nice cover and case. Paypal to my email at:
Kennym1@sbcglobal.net
You wont be sorry. Sick.

Whats up Randy, If these ditches are as good as they sound you are stoked. when we come down we can add it to the list.
Sounds too good to be true, perfect tranny? 25 foot bowls? Talking about it on the web? No pictures?

Any pics of these ditches? I am surprised nobody has ever skated them before as killer as they sound and as many skaters as there are around O-side. I'll be down to ride with you if they are worth it.

I have been cleaning and polishing, mounting blocks and just surf shredding the nicest, most perfect surf-schralpable-esque ditches that i've ever found. there in oceanside. There are so many good ones right off of the 76 that people haven't really found the best ones. I need people who are willing to ride that have the right respect for clean legendary ditches. Though i've cleand the brunt of the undesirables, It always needs some cleaning. I've never seen pics of ditches this nice except albq. but those arent your average shred sesh ditches. I also know where few others know of, a 25 foot perfectly transitioned banked bowl. perfect and dry. But to carve around the whole thing would take a soul crew about 1 hour to remove the water directional blocks that come right off, then it would be THE NICEST BIGGEST DITCH IN THE WORLD. The speed you could connect through the corners is un imagineable. It's in north san diego and you've driven by it a million times, but never have met anyone who knows where it is. Even tony hawk who used to live right next to it couldn't believe it. Hint I found it fishing . call 619-778-8570 cool hesh no problem, no respect amatuers no chance.

O.k. I moved up north to o-side, in the past year and a half, i've discovered the holy grail of ditches 3 x's! I've found like 5 really great ditches. Talking with neighbors of them,One who worked with tracker trucks for 14 years, they saiod no one has skated them. I've done all the work, polished them and patched, brought in blocks, and have indeed been shredding them. I am certainly not talking about the ones that are well known of of the 76, which there are two more that have not been ridden there either. I've not seen one p[icture of a ditch that are as long and rippable as these. I now have the problem of trying to find people to ride them with me. you must push a broom no matter how clean it is. my phone number is 6197788570. I've got a ditch that is the biggest bowl with perfect banks and transition, 25 feet deep totally carvable with PERfect transition! I need help to remove the water flow blocks on the walls. They come off easily and when removed will allow you to flow all the corners and will be like a MASSIVE ultra fast carving pool. need ablut five people for about one hour to have ready. It's in san diego, know where it is?

What a rush, so much to ride, and so little time to ride it all. See you all next year, now git! Mitchell
