Bad new s Bear Slappers!! Today the city has begun a 2 week project to move tons of dirt using the Bear as a highway, leaving lot's of compacted dirt and gravel all over the Bear course and with no end in sight. They say the are planning to go 24/7 to get their project done. This basically screws us out of getting to ride or race the Bear at all. The only thing that could save the day is a very well placed rain storm on Friday night. Unfortunately it is not in the forecast, but we can only hope. For those of you that were looking forward to the Bear as the main event, I'm really sorry that it looks like we'll have to re-schedule it....for next year!
The good news is that we still have alot of Plan B's to chose from and I'll be looking at all of them in the next couple of days to TRY and compare to the legendary Bear. We will still race something on Saturday morning, and for all of you that planned to wimp out, now you don't have any excuse not to join us!!
People are already arriving and we're off to a great start. Sandia tomorrow morning, explorations all afternoon, and we'll have a riders party at Crosslands Weds. night to get everybody registered and informed. The first 25 paid entrants will get better schwagg bags thanks to Kronik, Khiro and TimeShip because we love you!!

Hey, I just wanted to say thanks to The Marshal for puttin on a good race this year! It went really smoothly. Everyone got two runs, (thank god), no cops, just a little water but that's just part of racing a ditch.
Glad I got to skate with the Sector9 crew. Thanks for coming out and sponsoring the event. It was a blast! Next year someone has to take out Brunson. Hopefully me.
Next up...DITCH SLAP!

The surf has gone flat, and i'm looking for some ditches to skate in the San Diego area. Could any one email me directions to some well known ones? I wouldn't ask you to give up your hidden spot. Im respectful, and have no problem pushing a broom or a shovel for a while to skate. I always leave a spot better than i found it. Thanks for your help. -Jacques jacquesberiau@gmail.com

Not mine, but it's been there for a few months. I guess it's "suburban art" or "3D graffiti". Kinda weird, but looks better than spraypaint IMO.

No hard feelings, it's a very cool hex and well done work of art. I'm just paranoid because I thought I heard the birds caw and the troll speak.

There is a change of venue for Friday mornings race at Harper Ditch. A Troll has Hexed the bridge where we raced last year. I'm not kidding, you'll be able to check it out for yourself. I think it will be fine for riding but not racing, so we're just moving down the ditch to the San Pedro bridge where there's a sweet roll in that will serve as a start ramp. Riders meeting at 9am.

This is a great shot of Chris Miller doing the look back while the whole city lies ahead of him. It really shows the drop and speed of Indian School.

What are you crazy?? Isn't it big enough as it is? I think David Angelus has it, can you ask him about it? I hate that thing, scares the hell out of me. I vote for the tradtional start with a limited run in. As Fluitt once said
"it's a skate race not a track meet". The other problem with the start ramp is that it makes it hard to push down the wall....

Ditch Slap update

(65.19.nnn.nnn)
Thanks to Landyachtz, Bear Trucks, Dregs, Pressure Drop and Riviera for stepping up as title sponsors! The Product Sponsors list is HUGE and will be posted today, looks like everyone will go home with prizes! Also thanks to everyone that has paid their entry fees, remember that it's $100 for any 3 races and the Shuttle pass.
If you really think you have it in you to do all 5 races then you'll need $25 for each additional race. This is why we put the Bear toward the end...so you can chicken out and say you're too tired (whine) or don't have any more money. Just plan to win some earlier in the week! The Crosstown race on Sunday morning is free so you can only say that you're too tired or hung over. It worked for Mercado last year, but not this time buddy.
Racers will receive a ‘Ditch Directory’ to assist in finding the venues. The TSR crew will be available Weds afternoon and evening at the Crosslands Hotel to check in registered riders and give them their racer packets stuffed with info and goodies. TSR Headquarters mobile phone # is 505-920-5448 if you need assistance upon arrival.
