Jump form pit at CJ’s skatepark in Etobicoke

前兩天在skatepark玩的時候，看到一個滑板高手秀了很多超酷的高難度動作，讓在埸旁觀的其他滑板好手連聲叫好。他也毫不吝嗇地指導這些好手一些動作。我在旁聽到他提起了他常到Etobicoke的CJ’s skatepark練習一些高難度動作，也建議他們去那兒玩玩。

我也很好奇地上網查了一下，才知道CJ’s skatepark有個Jump form pit可以幫助練習一些高難度動作，但可大大地減少受傷的可能性。看樣子這個Jump form pit應該挺好玩的，找個時間去瞧瞧，也許也會下去玩一玩吧。

連世界第一個作double cork 1080的漂亮妺妹Katie Ormerod也是這樣練出來的，有興趣的同雪也可以去試試看。

一大早就跑到skatepark爽了個把小時，後來人陸續增加，又再加上一個滑板訓練班兩位教練帶著十多位小朋友的到來，真夠熱鬧的。決定今天提早收工，趁此機會到CJ skatepark 瞧瞧。

CJ skatepark真是大，今天至少有六、七十人在埸上，但因設備多樣又完善(主要設備有 bowl, half pipe, vert, street feature, form pit等)，各個教練帶著學生們在不同的地方練習，雖然人很多但並不顯得擁擠。玩的最多的是滑板，其次是直排輪及scooter，還有人在玩 BMX及longboard。

場上約有一半都是小朋友們，最小的幾個小不點兒我看比起我孫子也大不了多少。每個人都玩得很高興的樣子。所有設備中當然是以form pit最為熱門搶手，一有空檔小傢伙們就爭先恐後地前往排隊，然後一路叫喊著往坑裡跳。看著這些小傢伙們跳得這么樣高興，我這個作爺爺的怎么捨得和他們爭呢？只能在樓上lounge 叫杯咖啡慢慢欣賞他們的快樂吧！

這其中有一組人最為吸晴，是一個教練帶領著五位美女(約從廿出頭到奔五之年)也在玩滑板。真好像是一群企鵝般地站在滑板上，東倒西歪，一會這邊有人來個四腳朝天，一會那邊又有人來個餓虎撲羊。奇怪的是聽到的不是跌倒的哀叫聲而是一陣歡呼聲，那跌倒之人反而笑得最大聲，真是一群快樂的美女們。其中更有兩位美女也沒放過那火坑，從跳台起點就一路呀！呀！呀！呀一頭裁進到火坑裡，老半天後才看到有頭從坑裡冒出來，雙手還伸出來作成V字狀。我是真的服了這兩位美女。

最後結論是強烈推篤CJ skatepark給同雪們，尤其是他的form pit一定要玩一下。小朋友們可以去玩，美女帥哥更可以去玩，連老太婆老頭兒也可以試一試。反正老朽已暗下決心一定會找個比較少人的黃道吉日也往火坑裡跳一把吧！

這是他們網站上介詔的內容；

CJ Skateboard Park & School is one of North America's most ambitious indoor skate projects. At over 28,000 square feet, it is the fourth largest indoor (not-for-profit) skatepark facility in the world. The park features Canada's largest indoor foam pit with a video replay system and a 9' and 12' roll in. Plus, CJ's boasts one of Canada's largest indoor 12' vert ramps, sponsored by GATORADE. We have an entire range of mini-ramps, including a 3' and 4' spined mini-ramp/bowl (with a 5' extension!).

In addition, CJ's recently completed construction on a new 6' mini-ramp with concrete pool block coping. And our newly renovated street area features several updated obstacles, including flat and round bars, a step-up, several wall rides, hubba ledges, jersey barriers, a steep brick bank, bank to banks and a five-set. All our ramps are covered with EcoTop Sport®, which, in our opinion, is the best surface ever made for skateboarding. It's perfect for beginners and pros alike.
