If you’re a Montrealer, you’ll probably know most of these spots. If you’re not and happen to be in our great city, finding yourself wanting to ride them, I guess you’ll just have to ask me where they are. ;)

Spots Spots Spots! Or How I See my Daily Bike Commute.
Well, I enjoyed posting Montreal BMX/skate spots pictures the other day, so here’s a fresh batch. These are some if the most obvious “drive-by” spots right on the path of my daily bike commute to/from work. :)
Montreal BMX/Skate Spots Finding
Teagan, my 9 year old son, and I took advantage of today being a stat holiday in Canada to go on a three hours spots finding “mission” in the Old Montreal, the Old Port and downtown.
Here are a few of the ones we remembered to take pictures of.
Montreal's Newest Skatepark: Le Taz – Panoramic Views
Here are some quick and dirty panoramic views (QTVR + frames) of the Taz, Montreal’s newest skatepark. Embed VR scenes from the pictures can be found below the gallery.
Construction happened during the Winter, so the even larger outdoors park (94,000 sq/ft) is not built yet. With 83,000 sq/ft indoors, I think we can wait another couple of month. ;)
Sorry for the abysmal quality, but I had more important things on the mind: riding, riding aaaaand, riding! :) Don’t worry, tons of pictures will surface online this week for sure.
