 Knapp Ditch
|
* Outdoor: 'Crete
* Free
* Trannie
* Rating: Knappy!
"I just went by the Knapp Ditch - I grew up skating there."
"It's smaller than I remember it (maybe because I'm about 100lbs larger now), but there were kids skating it still. There are two sections: one upper (never really liked it) and the lower section."
- Seal: Feb'02
I rode this spot myself, not too long ago. In a nutshell - best f**kin' ditch I've ever skated! You still get that "chuck-chunk" sensation when you hit the walls, but there is a little bit of transition and the ride is smoother than you might think, and much faster. You'll eat your lunch if you're not careful... I did.
Two sheets of beat-down plywood form a roll-in, 4 after-market parking blocks for added mayhem, and a gentle downhill rythum are about all you'll find. The rest is sweaty, fearless, do-it-yourself gnar until you pass out or go home. If you had the skills and the timing, you could pump a couple of walls and blast a big frontside air back to trannie... sweet spot.
Thanks, Seal!
Directions: First, get your sun dial aligned with Uranus' radius. Next, measure out 14 ball bearings, a clutch of beaver fur, and some high-grade baby oil. Shake well. Finally, cook under a medium heat for 6 hours or until you can smell your own stank... in other words, good luck finding this spot - we ain't sayin' shit!
