The riverdale ditch is more then in action, it gets ripped on the daily. Keep it clean - a lot of patch work has been put into that place

LaCueva

mmmmmmmm..... LaCueva... GBMII knows my feeling about LaCueva. Life doesn't get any better.

In Webster's
under the entry:

LaCueva: 1. fun, 2. buttery, 3. smooth and speedy but controllable, 4. Bomb or cruise... your choice. 5. Expensive homes lined ditch in New Mexico, green grass in the desert, with sun bathing betties...(see skateboarding).

NM in June
On 11/22/2005 K-LEE wrote in from United States  (198.133.nnn.nnn)

NM ditches, dry, in June? Yeah sure. But hot as hell. Only skatable in the early mornings or the late evenings. Otherwise they become a solar oven from late May to early August, anytime from 10am to 4pm. Still worth the drive though. To maximize your skating fun, come from late August to early October, but June is still a good month.

Thanks GBMII
I love that Ventura ditch, hopefully it will dry up by Lowes, that part is epic.
La Cueva rules too, one of my favs for sure.

I was pretty sure we didn't miss too much KLee, just was really curious, sounds like we got a couple new ones to check out next time as well, got to like that.
