[ardenk]

i was jus wondering if u guys ever biked at markham park.. cuz ive been hearing things like no bikes and im jus making sure. :P

[ardenk]

*bump

[JohnnyMac333]

I know plenty of BMX/MTB that go up... just go in the morning or when it's not busy... I guess technically it's a no-bike park... but just like any skate park I go to... go when it's quiet.. I hate riding buy parks!

[ardenk]

is it really busy normally? cuz im still in school and i cant really go in the morningss

[masfenix]

haha I am ALWAYS there.

nah, skaters dont really mind. its just when on saturdays when parents come with little kids, they get pissed.

now there are barly anyone becasue of the cold.


do you come here often?

[Meggers]

well if u have school then just skip a day. i've only been there once but it's pretty fun. it was packed with skater kids, but there shouldn't be as much now since it's cold. :lol: lol Where do you live around, how are you getting there? or do you drive? lol

[ardenk]

[Meggers]

I have my best rides in the morning... like 6:30AM or so... especially this late in the season! I haven't personally ridden MArkham but a lot of bikers do!

I ride Cummer and Vanderhoof in Toronto for park
I've tried St.Catherines skate park and Oshawa this month
and I ride Montreals indoor park a lot

and I've heard rumors of a bunch of guys talking about renting out a warehouse in the west end and making a street course this year! I'll keep you posted

[Street Cowboy]

haha my home is here.

but no i dont ride markam park. i ride greenwood and have been up to vanderhoof a few times. Cummer is fun but i dont like to travel to ride so i mainly ride street.

its nice to see toronto finaly has a bit of a voice in here

howdy all!

[masfenix]

nah, cummer sucks!, i went tehre once.


also, yea some guyz found a warehouse, and i think there are negotiations between the owner.

Cummer doesn't suck... Toronto is a lucky city in Canada to have all the parks that we do... it's all relative to what you like to ride! I like the bowl, the other lines are too tight! but I live a block away!

wait till this Olympic park opens up near Lakeshore... I think Canada will be top BMX destination for Central and eastern Canada for a long time to come with this park!

[Street Cowboy]

acctualy compared to other canadian cities we have nothing. toronto is pathetic when it comes to parks. consitering we are the largest city we should have say maby at least one park situated down town.

for the amount of people maybe we should... but for the area I think we are better than anything east of us! I know Vancouver is crazy, especially for MTB! but this olympic park is going to be nuts! I've heard of 2 possible indoor warehouses this year! another 2 skateparks are supposed to be started next summer! hell, our city ok'ed me to do a BMX camp alongside the skateboard camp up here next summer! the city actually allowed that, despite liability concerns that I was sure would hold us back!


One thing we dont have are any good bike/parts companies started up here! besides ALliance + HArvester are the only two off the top of my head... and their only GTA!

I'll agree TO has a lot to work on, but for the time being and in the future it looks great!

[Street Cowboy]

im not as optomistic. we were suposed to have the leseli steet park made last year.. i dont know anything of indoor parks.. and my biggest problem is if you want to go to any of the parks you cannot ride to them..

what really got to me was the park they built at dundas and bathurst that wouyldnt let bikes in

let me know about these indoor parks. i am really interested. i ride almost only street cuz i cant be bothered to bump elbos with 12 year olds. im tring to convince my boss to let me build a mini in our shop.

[ardenk]

yeah this guy i met is opening an indoor bike park in the GTA itll be opening around december 17? ill clue you in on more info when i get some :D

Leslie St. park?

never heard of this! I know we just got a little dirt track @ Bayview + Cummer but it's not that nice I hear! and I have to agree that it sucks travelling to most parks... none of them are close to a subway... all bus accesible! and the buses on Cummer are the narrow ones which suck for bikes!

In Montreal there buses are twice as wide.... it's awesome!

[Street Cowboy]

cool. i really want to find out about the indoor parks. and

well im curious. when i first joind this forum there was no one from toronto. seems like there are a bunch of you . where and what do yall ride? how old are yall? what do ya ride?

oh and if you know anyone in the market for a new bike i work at trailblazers on the danforth neer greenwood. we have easterns fits and a we the people nova we are tring to get rid of really cheap to make room for next years stock

oh and welcom to the forum.

[ardenk]
