I've never skated in a ditch, but they look perfect for the style of riding i like to do. anybody know of any in south brooklyn, or anywhere around nyc for that matter? i'm happy to trade info on some great hills if that'd help.
thanks in advance..

Hungry Ditches don't favor any nationality, team affiliation or celebrity status.... they are omnivores waiting for any scrap that carelessly slips into their Jaws. Tony Alva fed the Bear back in '77 proving that we had a great spot! Biker hit a Hole at Indian School in 2002 knocking him OUT plus a broken collar bone in 6 places proving that you only need your helmet once a year.
The rake finished ditches are NOT the ones you want to fall in, it's like getting worked by a blender. Langer fed Carmel Ditch enough Canadian bacon to cover all of you for at least a week!

me and my friends were skating at our high school during christmas break. and me being pretty much the only hardcore long boader/surf skater saw this dirt bank and was like man that would be tight to skate but its dirt! well up the walk way a little was some huge peices of 1/8 inch masonite being thrown out so i did what any skaters would do....... make my own bank so we made its a skated it for hours and even got bite in the head from my friend ( i thought he was off the bank he was going down and i was going up well his braces went to my temple area) then some stupid local street skaters showed up..... but it was worth it
we went back to skate it again but some painters piled the masonite all up and smashed it up so it was a once in a life time kinda thing

Has anyone been to the 78 ditch in Basking Ridge lately? I just had a dream about it. Got to get back and see how it is-- last time I was there was over 10 years ago. They built houses near it (of course!) and we were scared away. I figure if we walk in along the highway, we can avoid the houses.

When I was in high school we skated a ditch along the south side of rte 78 near Basking Ridge. This was before rte 78 was completed and all I remember is that it was kinda narrow, but it worked for 27" Logan Earth Skis. It was fun because it went along a slight downhill grade. Other than that you're better off heading west to PA - Allentown & Reading.

we're leaving for Albuquerque from California tomorrow and we didn't even know about the all around challenge this weekend... i was wondering what other ditches we should kill in that area and how many people will be there due to the challenge... many thanks...
