Pump track follow run @ RIM Park
SKATE INVASION at the PUMP track!!
Once again I am sharing this photo because it gives me hope for what is yet to come for 2025. The skate season is upon us in the Northern hemisphere and we all took advantage of one of the first nice weekends of the year. Huge turnout at the season opener session that I called. We had up to 18 skaters and even a few bikers joined us. This pump track is an absolute blast and has been the best one to skate in our region... so far!!
The clip in this post was captured by one of my homies following me on his tiny & NOISY wheels. He could not keep up with me and cut it a little short. I was gaining too much speed on the pumps and might have to employ another of my friends who are able to keep up next time. Since the original post, I also shared it to our Team Ontario facebook page and am trying to gather more attention for the next session. This year, myself and a few friends are hosting pump track races at separate locations throughout our region. These tracks keep popping up and we are making the most of it.
Also, my buddy in the bottom right with the tiger stripe board rode a pump track for the first time! He has grown a lot since I first introduced him to our scene about 6 years ago. I consider him my grom and met him on reddit, funnily enough. Now he goes to school near me so I'm looking forward to continue showing him new spots to skate and explore!
Our next event here is planned for May 10th and will be the first official race of our pump track series. Prizes, sponsors and more details are still being work out, but we do have our schedule for events marked.
A note from my co-host Bryan:
This year will be the return of the Pump Track Race series. Come join us on some races on Sundays this year. This year we are welcoming Brandon Anderson (me) who will be helping run events.
We will be running 6 races this year:
Rim/waterloo May 10th
Oakville May 25th
Sunnyside(Toronto) June 1st
Lincoln (Subject to change) July 13th

Currently figuring out prizing and such as we speak but wanted to give the dates to everyone. We had fun Racing last year and look forward to seeing new and returning faces.
We will be calling more sessions on Team Ontario facebook/instagram pages for future events
