Alright, i'm 90% sure (depending on mechanical condition of truck) that Will and I will be roadtripping out to Alberta in 2012 to visit justin99 and shred his yard. The trip would take 2 days of straight driving, but that's no fun. i plan to drive 1000km or less each day, making stops along the way to visit parks and street spots, ride for a few hours and be on our way.

This is the approximate route, as i want to avoid cutting through the US (don't have passport etc)

Please mention any parks along the way worth visiting, or any amazing street spots we'd have to hit up. Anybody willing to provide a place to stay/food in return for meeting us and some photos/ride to closeby parks, feel free to PM me or just post in here.

I've never been out of ontario so why not make the first time an epic adventure including bikes, cameras and friends? Anyway, i will edit this post with a list of all the desired stops, as well as where we will be staying. I plan on doing a complete motor rebuild before this trip happens, seeing as my truck currently has 310k on it.

To summarize this post, suggest/discuss parks worth stopping at between Kitchener, ON and Vancouver, BC. If you are able to provide a place to stay/eat along the way, please say so.

Planned Park/Spot Visitations During Journey:
-Sudbury Skatepark, Ontario
-Winnipeg, Manitoba
-Millenium Park, Calgary
-Edmonton, Alberta (park/street)

People to Visit/Stay with:
-Winnipeg, Manitoba: wtp-rider
-Calgary, Alberta: redneckbmx
-Spruce Grove, Alberta: lettusdude/justin99

markham is a skater only park, but people ride it anyway.

luck has nothing to do with it, i'm just going to save up over the winter and make my truck mechanically sound then give'r hell. pack extra oil, coolant, etc and some tools and hope to god we don't break down anywhere remote.
