Banks & Ditches (2951 Posts) Topic Message Ditch Slap Photos/video On 5/8/2009 Devon Talley-Bailey wrote in from United States  (97.123.nnn.nnn) Anyone have any pictures or video from ditch slap?

On 5/6/2009 Deano wrote in from United States  (66.225.nnn.nnn) The police did come across the ditch slap twice that I know of, once when Tad, Cliff and I were climbing out of the van at the top of a run a cop pulls up to the intersection, scoops us out and turned the other way. The other was duriong the bungee start race where the cop drove across the bridge, clearly looked down the ditch at us and at the start of the course we are not hard to miss, and he too kept on driving. The police were a non issue. We also received many comments of support from the locals, from the driver at the bottom of a run who recognized Tad from the news to the woman walking her dog who yelled "Welcome to ABQ" as we rode by. That was a warm and fuzzy moment. Joe you did a great job of trying to keep the locations discrete, who would have thought a bunch of skateboarders were worthy of a helocopter search by the media?

The news media were alerted DAYS before the event by an anonymous concerned citizen along Indian School that wanted to see everyone arrested. The Media were way more interested in getting some sensationalist story and footage going, but the Police have much better things to do, we didn't see them all weekend long. We avoided riding Indian School as well with so many other races and free rides going on, it was an easy choice. Then the head of the flood control authority John Kelly dropped by the hotel to say that he wished us the best of luck in our event, asked that we pick up after ourselves and invited me to come back to meet with them (again) to see how we can work this out to become a legit event in the future. All of this fear mongering is being spread by a few individuals that don't have the whole story, think I'm making money on this (HAA!) and are just basically hating on non-locals coming to Abq for a fun weekend. Thanks for calling me out Stubbs so I can begin to fill in the blanks. We actually made the paper twice and the evening news 3 times and never had the police or the 'man' visit us at all. We didn't want ANY publicity but the anonymous complaint was pretty angry, I got to read it and they obviously have been rubbed the wrong way for years on this.     Rate post 318062 !

Having helocopters sent out to track your event down was just icing on the cake. Something to tell the grand kids! Thanks again     Rate post 318043 !

Even our patriot skater Cliff Coleman got slapped on the marathon La Cueva run, but he was still smiling. Albuquerque locals, the loco express and TSR will now spend a day recovering.     Rate post 317964 ! Best-Of Ncdsa (0)   Informative (0)   Abuse(0)   Flag Moderators (0) Where?

Slap down your entry fee's or get bumped to the waiting list, there's always next year. Check the Sign up page for recent updates. We've got a fresh Bungee ready to go.     Rate post 317263 !

We WILL be capping the entries to the first 60 PAID racers. Do not assume that you are in any way 'special' unless you want to run the risk of missing the deadline. Visit the sign up page on the contest calendar for updates and payments. Think of it as a race....to beat your fellow competitors to the PayPal button. I'll announce when we're down to 4 remaining slots....the finals!     Rate post 316434 ! Best-Of Ncdsa (0)   Informative (0)   Abuse(0)   Flag Moderators (0) Juan Pablo gets Shacked...
