Because they finally let Skaters design it
i once met the guy who designed and pushed to have it brought to life. what an interesting guy
@@ldnky5050 no you didn't.
I love the urban feel
this urban skatepark in the urban neighborhood
How urban 😂
look how happy some smooth ground and a few ledges makes most skaters, i think cities that want to make a skatepark but dont have the budget should use this as an example and learn that skateparks dont always have to be huge concrete ramps (deathtraps if you cheap out and have them made people who dont understand skating) look at this park, rosa parks skate plaza in san francisco and cherry park skatepark in long beach. skaters love those parks and theyre just simple obstacle on a smooth concrete pad
"hey do a trick, we'll film it and put it on the news!" result: 0:57
fr, they just filmed him not the board
strobeck be like
it's art
a lil flatrail wouldnt hurt no one
Exactly what I was thinking. The skate plazas appeal to rail skaters as well, a little flatbar would be perfect. I remember wanting to step up my handrail skating when I was like 15, i was skating the 7-9 stair rails near my house, but then there was only hugeee handrails, nothing in between. it was before I could drive and rob dyrdeks first skate plaza had opened up. That one looked amazing! What ever happened to that place? I don’t see footage of it ever. Unless I do and just don’t recognize it. It was in Kettering Ohio from what I remember. It had like every obstacle imaginable. And different sizes of those obstacles. But of course for a little plaza like this just a flatbar added would be perfect
bruh this is fkn sick! more cities need these types of spots
Wow the new plaza looks great
Remember when they used to be made wood and nail? It's so different now. Rebar allen keys. The rob dyrdek skate plaza.
Need one like this in Toronto
Oh so we could make another love park but for skateboarding
2:46 and only 1 local permanent resident 🙏
Doesn’t get more urban than a local permanent resident.
We need more of these!
Toronto needs one asap
Wow this plaza looks like a blast and looks so chill to sesh
Awesome park. Maybe some 5 stairs, rails would be awesome…
No, that would ruin the whole point
London Ontario has like 50 of these, good idea
Slossshhhhh
Cuz it’s a plaza style, looks sick
i think i was born in the wrong country lol all the great skate parks n plazas are always in america or canada. where i live is naff all.
A lot of the best urban skate plazas and mixed use spaces are in Europe, I think
the skateboarding season only lasts about 5 months in Montreal. Grass isn't always greener!
@@crosbymedia7186 7 months ... Montreal is not the north pole
This is awesome if you are a ledge/manny skater. I'd argue, though, that other kinds of obstacles are also desirable, if they are designed well. There are many kinds of skateboarders in the world.
"we just wanted one granite ledge"
cant wait to skate this bruh
Yeah buddy!
❤
Everything here is the same. Shoulda had some variations. Planter gaps, out ledges, curved ledge even. Just ledges??? Eh.
What city?
Montréal
this is exactly what i want
As a unicyclist, the old park looked wayyyyy better.
Bum included.
Ummmm... this really only has benches...
How is this a skate park
More like a plaza
ledges
@@bryan8528 yea.. but.. don't u think it's almost as like they just got chinsed out on this.. I mean... couldn't been way better... and maybe I'm wrong, but there should be some smooth ramps.
@@fdggfgdfgd251 the whole point of this park is that it feels like a street spot... I'm sure they have other more "traditional" skateparks near there with transition. But this is what a lot of people want now a days, me included lol. I'd love to have a skatepark just like this, all ledges, manny pads, etc. Technical street skating type of skatepark
@@fdggfgdfgd251 If you skated, you would understand.
You said no quarterpipes….. for that reason I’m out lol
Every other park has QP’s
