TERRY FOX AT BC PLACE

Skate

Our spots define us. Individual style is shaped by the availability of skatable terrain. In small towns, a simple curb-cut down the street brands your massive pop. The manny pad behind the grocery store breeds technicality. We’ve all got our one classic spot upon which we cut our teeth and log unfathomable hours learning every angle and every secret to speed and landing. We name our spots and we map them out. In foreign cities, insider knowledge becomes hard currency and some folks outright refuse to blow-up the spot. Then of course, there are the spots. The ones that achieve legendary status and don’t just define a handful of locals, they represent whole eras of untapped possibility and NBDs begging to be claimed. These spots are so iconic, so instantly recognizable, and so rich in skatability, they become places of pilgrimage for dreamy kids and inspired pros around the world. The arrival of such a spot is so rare, it ignites rumour like wildfire.
