North Bay All-Wheel Park & Pump Track

 North Bay All-Wheel Park & Pump Track

Wyld St & Oak St E

A nice, big New Line Skatepark with pump track.

Plenty of parking (cheap but probably only enforced on weekends)

It's a really nice skatepark/pumper in a large public park with a playground, splash pad and sport courts near the waterfront.  It is pretty classic New Line with a lot of features laid out like previous designs. 90% sure the pump track is Velosolutions.

There's lots of flat and all the standard features.

I would not be bummed if it was my local.

My legs were toast so I couldn't pump by the end of the session.

The park is built into a hill and the QP meets an integral retaining wall bank at a 90degree angle. Interesting feature.

This bump to rail is a little high but I felt like it was the only feature with big proportions. Not as much of an issue for BMX but my legs were toasted.

This small QP is a little tight. I had no issues but it may be more difficult to learn drop-ins.

Cosmic Skater Frog Butt!

Great Pump Track. Everyone was enjoying it.

Rest in Peace Amber

While this mural is set to be removed, hopefully the small memorial will remain.

This is my buddy Garrett. We went to the same high school. We were in a band together. We drove, with another friend, to Vancouver Island in a 2 door Honda Civic and hit 22 skateparks in 21 days back in 2006.  He said he hadn't skated in a decade. Bro was 50-50ing the flat bar and Blunt Yanked the big QP second try. Good Times.

And a little advocacy on the side...

I had a little interaction with a graffiti removal contractor.  Do it right and don't get peeved when you don't like the experts advice. He (the expert, me) may just know what he (the expert, me) is talking about.

I sent this as soon as I made it home.

I woke up to this message

& received this about an hour later. You're Welcome!
