Yeah. Vancouver sucks. There's only a couple hundred rippers and parks everywhere. There's also tones of spots if you're willing to drive and fifteen at ubc. There's two great shops in the city. Now there's two indoors as well. A ramp downtown and a park in tsawwassen. I really feel bad for all of us.

Other scenes are dying while some grow. Detroit is up and coming. Surprised I'm still seeing footage out of San Francisco with the rent going up

Any idea what happened?[close]He was skating with Moses and had a toothpick in his mouth. He and Moses collided and the toothpick went straight into Moses' eyeball and plucked it clean out. So he got kicked off.

So then saying it was "a joke" was clickbait. It just had a great run in the 90's and early 2000's, although a lot of new spots have been popping up over the past few years. Montreal and Toronto have some great skating, but experience full force winters and very hot summers. That being said, sometimes the rainy season in Vancouver is 8 months long. You have no idea what the scene in each city is like unless you spend a good chunk of time living there, and your own attitude and comfort zone will determine how you interpret the skate-atmosphere of any given place.
Fentanyl has taken over.
Vancouver is no joke.But montreal has long been the best city in canada.I wish I could go more often, instead im stuck with winterpeg and thunderbay
