:o

For saturday morning is it going to cost anything to enter the skatepark and observe the competition. I will not participate only watch.

13

6 DAYS FROM NOW!!!:smiley: I’m so happy:) And now there a ride at 2PM on friday at the Olympique Stadium.

you have to pay only if you use the trials and street setups. If you just come to watch you dont have to pay.

14

I highly suggest you to compete because there will be trial lines for all levels of riders and also, it is so much fun ! If you want to become better, you will eventually need to ride so come and try !

16

I’ll be there :sunglasses: If only I could stay for sunday too, but I can’t because I’m leaving for Cedar Point(ohio)!!

That sounds great, Julien!
I haven’t been on the forums lately so I just found out about this event this morning. I’ll have to see if I can pull some strings and find a way to Montreal from Nova Scotia for this.
