I first learned of this ditch through an old Thrasher article highlighting the DC area skate scene circa 1988. After a long, arduous search following sketchy directions through sketchy baltimore suburbs we finally found it. The ditch has pretty high, steep walls and smaller amount of flatbottom than most area ditches. The skatable section is pretty small with many cracks and uneven pavement. It is slightly downhill, but not enough to really notice. When all is said and done, its still a fun spot, and close enough to Lansdowne to hit one after the other. Here's a shot from the other side. This ditch was featured in the Nov. 88 issue of Thrasher. The pic is from 1978
