Big O

Links
The Big O is one of the most iconic skate spots in Montreal, originally constructed in 1976 as an athlete entrance for the Summer Olympics. Initially covered in rubber, skaters soon uncovered the smooth concrete beneath, transforming it into a natural mini-ramp and one of the few places in Montreal offering true concrete transitions. Over the decades, it became a global skate destination and was featured in Thrasher’s *Epic Spots* book in 2008. In the early 2010s, the spot faced demolition due to stadium expansion plans. Skaters mobilized, and with support from stadium owner Joey Saputo, a solution was found: the Big O was carefully relocated to a new site. In 2013, it reopened, preserving its original angle and spirit. Now protected as a heritage skate spot, the Big O remains a powerful symbol of community activism and skate culture in Montreal, celebrated annually by locals and skaters worldwide.
