Types of skate spots

Before getting into it, let's review some types of skate spots in Montreal: plazas, pump tracks, bowls and half-pipes, and transition skateparks.

  • Plazas

    A classic urban skate set-up, with stairs, ledges and ramps. Ideal for practicing technical tricks and street skating.

  • Pump tracks

    A looped track with a series of small hills and banked corners that is ridden by using a "pumping" motion, allowing riders to build and keep speed without pushing with their feet.

  • Bowls, half-pipes & vert ramps

    Exactly what the names suggest. Very popular with skaters who love aerial tricks and the adrenaline rush of jumps.

  • Transition parks

    A combination of plaza, bowl and flow zones for the best of all worlds.
