My nomination is Four Hills Arroyo in Abq. I grew up skating it. Smooth trannies, varying sides (high/high, high/medium, high/low, etc.)

Here's a shot from the top.

Indian School rules! But I'd take Four Hills Arroyo in a heartbeat.

Indian school, for sure, but I've never been.
My fave ridden we named "Star Wars" cuz it was the '70's, and it curved under the highway, downhill! Reminded us of the Deathstar attack from the movie.


It starts with the slope of the overpass, that feeds into the ditch, curves into the underground tunnel ( duck! ) and then feeds into a 20 foot deep ditch.
Haven't been there in 20 years, but it's on Google Earth.
Near Waco, TX.

Indian School ain't all that great, actually. The trannies are abrupt, and the sides are all one height. It was maybe the best ditch in Abq until Four Hills arroyo tho.

I didn't find the transitions to be abrupt. So smooth, so fast, so long, so fun!

Fair enough. I guess I was spoiled by the perfect curves at 4H.

My good buddy Jay Norwood moved up to Mass. from Dallas when we were freshman in high school. He used to talk about Whip-n-Dip all the time.

I can't imagine how cool it must be there exploring all those ditches. So amazing.

I completely agree. I hit them last month and I honestly think that was the fastest I have gotten going in such a long time... So much fun
