Here's just a pragmatic view of our F%$#ed-Up world, IMHO. Taxpayers (that's US, btw) have payed for these ditches that provide relief from rain overflow, which save, for the most-part, the Infastructure of any given community that would otherwise be flooded. So, our Txes increase, which makes us work harder, wherein we have less time to go socialize, or even give back to our community. Meanwhile, it becomes clear that, we, the Taxpayers, have funded a construction project that now lets US skateboard for a few miles past factories that make ugly things like Bombs + guns for our dear, depraved Govt. (which is supposed to represent US + keep the Peace), which would otherwise be disrupted by God's water as it naturally Overflowed during an abnorma rain season. So, we naturally use these conduits of banked concrete that we've payed for as our own Playground for Bikes, Skateboards, even Rollerblades, as these are easily utilized for a 'quick' speed+flow in an otherwise overscheduled and hyperstimulted lifestyle that limits our usual inclination for group recreation in cultured society. Ah, but now, in the act of using our own 'playground' that's actually been built for protecting those gun factories from the ravages of nasty, but rare, southwestern floods, we've OVERSTEPPED our cultural boundaries by using these concrete thruways for a Social Gathering and competitive race. ACK! The SIN of it! It's like, like, um, Duck hunting with the former V.P. without personal protective armour! You DARE NOT do such a thing!! EEek, even using that loathsome tool of Earl, a SK8board, for your non-gas-guzzling personal transportation, that's just DePraVeD BehAviOur, even bordering on AgOnoStIc, or otherwise morally corrupt social interaction. IT MUST BE STOPPED! NOW! Or, by god, we'll have to fly more E-9's into skyscrapers, and fight even more wars overseas,(Though, for what, besides Oil and religion, it's hard to foresee) just to learn ya irrecoverable delinquent antisocialist skateboarding perverts!
Damn, it's getting harder + harder to justify bein' The Man, with LAWS U Must Obey... ;-)

I grew up in South Jersey near Toms River(a couple good garages here)....there are no ditches, sorry to say. The Sayreville Skatepark has a good bowl and an over-verted bank....and as far as hills go...Island Heights is cool(cops suck though) and Roosevelt City out by Whiting has some hills....otherwise you gotta head north, like the PNC Bank Arts Center, some bombers here and a wicked, narrow run behind the Vietnam Vet Memorial, and Holmdel is pretty sick too...Happy Skating

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?
Thanks again!

There has been some serious over reaction from the locals here and I'm sure that they have not given you the whole story. 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.
