Light fast socks are good from about April to October, and I would recommend the stiff wool socks any other time of the year. !     Rate post 283734 !

AND, he's a super nice guy. But I have a question about the ditches for an upcoming trip too Kaylee. What kind of socks should I wear? Fast, light ones or the stiffer, wool ones? <>     Rate post 283587 !

Especially, if you like black. I haven't had the luxury of getting to the ditches, yet. These medium-long boards also work in certain faster than average skateparks. From what I hear about the "Bear", I would use a strong, STIFF speedboard. I'm looking to replace my flexy "Hill Killer" with something stiffer, even though it might work there. A lot of guys seem to like the Sector 9 Bomb Hills topmount design. Hope it helps.     Rate post 280435 !

Some people like to session ditches, mini-ramp style. Those people get by with big pool-style boards just fine. Others like to cruise Indian School. You can do that on anything from a shortboard up to a supertanker, but most people use pintail-type boards, others prefer longer boards with kicktails. Some people like to charge the BEAR, and for that I recommend a speedboard or supertanker. Personally, I've been really enjoying my 35" Earthwing Drifter lately. My buddy has one of those longer Earthwings and really likes that, with Paris trucks and Flywheels. But Comet Proflexes in all lengths have served me well in the past, also. So, the question remains, do you like to session parking blocks, cruise the concrete waves, charge for speed, or perhaps a little bit of all three? I always thought a Pavel would do really well in these ditches ;)! In a nutshell, ride what you'd normally feel comfortable on while carving a medium hill. It's all about personal choice. Wheels and trucks are way more important than decks, to be honest. I've even ridden mini-decks and had lots of fun. If you have good soft wheels and nice carvy trucks (which it sounds like you do), then you could bolt those on a 2x4 and have a blast in these ditches, no kidding.     Rate post 280216 !

All you need is a broom to clean it out in the spring and you're good to go. It's about 450 yards long and made out of metal. If you ever are in Umeå, Sweden, mail me and we'll take you there!

I skated thsat thing in the 70s before the highway went all the way through Summit. Glad to hear it still gets sessioned, though it is disappointing to hear that the neighbors suck.     Rate post 279088 !
