Antelope Valley Banks
Posted on March 07 2018
As a skateboarder, you are always looking at terrain as you are travelling--looking for anything that might be skateable. You keep your eyes peeled for any empty pools, full pipes, and especially banks. Banks are created for a variety of reasons such as drainage, flood control, and retaining walls, but usually not for skating.
Most of the banks you see while driving are not very good--they are either too small, or too rough, or they have a dirt bottom, or they are too steep, but every now and then you will spot something you think might be good.
