Bronson Ditch “Urban Skate Project” – Hollywood, California

Nestled in the Griffith Park area (Hollywood Hills), where hiking trails welcome hundreds of people a day, Bronson Canyon ditch has been the destination for any skater who visits southern California and more specifically, Hollywood. But like the Hollywood movies that have emerged over the years, someone decided to do something new and exciting with a location that has been untouched for decades. Clayton Graul and his crew have recently taken the DIY approach to Bronson Ditch and have added some creativity to its legendary status.

Luxemburg – Full pipe and Ditch session

When I got my first glimpse of the fullpipe back in early 1990, I was breathless. It seemed huge to me – even though you can only ride a small part of the whole heigth. It looked like the stuff I had only seen in 80’s videos from the US : vertical, concrete and gnarly. Best part of it – it was located something like a mile from my home, and it had taken me a year to figure out that there was such a thing.
