I went to the grand opening of the Toxic Skate shop last weekend to check out the new bowl. It’s really fun, but not without a few flaws. The corners can be unpredictable and the decks are miniscule, but the bowl is fun as hell to ride. The giant wall ride on one half of the long side really makes this bigger than just the sum of it’s parts. The shop is in a small industrial park in Vancouver. lack of traditional neighbors made it easier to get the go ahead to have all ages shows there. It could be a cool little scene. Rich from EPM has some shots from early in the day before it got crowded.

Checked it out Sunday for a good part of the day. They had just finished the deck extension on the roll door side. Pretty fun ramp will definitely make it back out there again. Toxic Mike and crew were super freindly, thanks for the hospitality Mike.
