Anthony Dennis of AberdareSkatepark.co.uk fame has just sent me some photos of how Newport skatepark is looking. It does look kind of mellow transition wise, but that may just be a trick of the camera. The park is pretty much complete now and looks rideable (not that I'm suggesting you do that). The official open date has been put back to 15^th September now I think, I'm not sure whats happening before then though and if they are stopping people from riding till that date.

This made me laugh, you gotta love Merthyr

I have just been emailed about a BMX comp at Aberdare skatepark. It's been a good year for jams/comps in the area, with Chepstow, Llanishen and now Aberdare.

It's from 11am - 6pm on Sunday 14th September 2008 so you have plenty of time to get organised for it, call shotgun on a lift or whatever. Some sponsors have been found allready and there may be some bands as well.

Check out aberdareskatepark.co.uk for more info.

On the subject of concrete skateparks, Newport should be finished by the end of this month. I haven't been there for a while so I don't know what it's looking like at the moment. I'll try and make a detour on the way back from work to get some photos.

I've just tweaked the site a bit to make uploading videos easier so thought what better way to test it than to have a clip of one of the best satiricle comedies ever created on here.
