Going to Las Vegas for a few days, besides skateparks is there any fun spots I should go to? Curb spots? DIYs? Thanks

Was just talking to a friend about a Vegas trip and I too would like to know where the good ditches are

Theres 100s of miles of ditches,choose one and go. Better ones are north and in summerlin. There still might be that barrier spot off Flamingo or Tropicana, all the parks out there are great.

I have a list of thing on google maps, pm if interested.

If you can only hit up one park, Craig Ranch is easily worth the drive. It's one of the best parks you'll find anywhere with most anything you could want in whatever size and shape you want it. The little bowl there is so goddamn fun, and some of the bigger stuff seems like it was designed with intermediate skaters in mind. The River Mountain Loop Trail between Henderson and Boulder City has maybe the most varied ditch skating in the area with super mellow stuff all the way up to big banks with hips that look like someone made them for skating, bars, barriers, wallrides, etc. But it's a bit of a schlep no matter where you start, plus it gets rainy in the winter which can flood the ditches for days after the storm, so heads up.
