The Taz has to be one of the best indoor facilities in the country. It was an absolute treat getting to ride it with the Macneil / Tenpack guys this summer, and I’m super bummed to not be going. The Taz is one of the biggest skateparks in North America, located just outside of downtown Montreal, and just over the boarder from the Eastern States. If you’re in the area I’d definitely make an effort to come out. After all, The Beast is gunna be there.

The city of Montreal, Ten Pack Distribution and Element 51 are proud to announce the BMX Pepsi Pro/Am Contest on Saturday October 24, from 10:00AM to 9:00PM at Le TAZ Skatepark in Montreal, QC.
There will be 50 ams competing for tons of great prizes from a great list of sponsors and 50 pros competing for a cash purse.
Amateurs will receive great prizes from Animal, Demolition, Eclat, Federal, Kink, MacNeil, Wethepeople and Oakley, including a 2010 Kink Doyle complete bike for first place presented by the man himself.

The pro purse will be broken down as follows:
1st: $1000
2nd: $600
3rd: $400
4th: $200
5th: $100
