Title: Help finding two spots in Arizona
Post by: bcflix on August 29, 2011, 12:04:42 PM
Hola, I just moved to the Phoenix area, and I think these two spots are somewhere in the Phoenix area or somewhere in Arizona. Can anyone tell me how to get to either? Feel free to post here or message me. Thanks a million for any help!

the steep quarter pipe.

36590 E Golden Puma Trail
Scottsdale, AZ 85266

"Correct me if I am wrong" I am pretty sure, though.

I am not sure about the other spot..

RAD! Thanks a lot! I even saw it on google satellite. Do you know what that place is/was used for, and if it's a bust or anything?

Not sure, but it may be some outdoor skating club there.

That other spot is called Power Ditch. Yes its in Mesa, AZ..

It's on S Power Rd. and E Galveston St. just park at the Quicktrip and walk down the road and Volia the Ditch!

There may be water in the ditch now, so you  can't skate it..

bring a broom and some shoes to walk in when you go to that ditch.

rad, thanks guys! i found that photo on some bmx blog when i searched google for 'arizona ditch' and just looked through pictures. in all the photos and video of the ditch i saw before that one, the ditch looked clean. but in that photo it and some others i found it looked pretty dirty, and in one website it said there's a sewage ditch right there, or it's part of it or something. anyway, gonna check it out, thanks!

The best park in the Phoenix area (just my humble opinion), Paradise Valley, is essentially Scottsdale. However, I heard from my brother that they started charging and enforcing pads so if that's true then it blows.

I'm moving to Scottsdale at the beginning of April, so any spot/skatepark locations would be really appreciated.
