🇨🇦The Big O pipe
Street spot · Montreal, Quebec, Canada
read at 20:45 local · weather: open-meteo
A concrete full pipe that spills into a halfpipe at the Olympic Stadium, skated since the 1980s; to save it from the Saputo Stadium expansion the pipe was moved about 25 m, reopening in August 2013.
Heads up · There is no deck at the top and slams land on flat: not a place to learn transition.

Bring
- Damp patches → a towel or a push broom for the bottom of the bowl; skip the wet transition and soft dirt lips
- 6 °C → a layer you can drop by the fence
- Always → a helmet (required at many parks and every track), and pads for transition and dirt
- After dark → we don't know if it's lit; bring a light

How the read works
We track the water on the ground hour by hour, starting two days back. Rain adds to it; sun, wind and dry air take it away (the forecast's evaporation figure, which folds all three together); frost locks it in. Concrete sheds most of a downpour and dries in a couple of hours on a good day. Dirt soaks it up and takes a day or more, and riding it while it's mud ruts it. It's a model, not a camera: shady corners and the bottom of a bowl hold water longer. Weather from Open-Meteo.
