<p>I was just wondering if anyone knows of a skatepark near umass? Has anyone seen any BMX bikes on campus?</p>
<p>Lots of kids mess around with their skateboards in front of the FAC during non-busy times even though there are a bunch of signs saying it’s not allowed. I’ve never seen it happening while everyone is trying to walk through that area so at least they have some courtesy.</p>
<p>There’s a skatepark in Northampton though, right near Smith College it seems. It’s a 20-30 minute car drive (depending on traffic) but you can also take a bus from UMass (which would take longer but I can’t remember how long).</p>

<p>I have not seen anybody BMXing at UMass. Longboards and skateboards are very popular. Bikes are usually only used for transportation. </p>
<p>If you’re into snowboarding, there’s a snowboarding club that you can pay $20 to join and get discounted prices on combined lift ticket/bus ticket deals to AWESOME mountains within 2 hours from UMass.</p>
