Some Bad news about Skate Extreme

Straight from the BBC news website

Fire crews have been tackling a fire at a skateboarding and biking centre in Newport.

They were called to Skate Extreme in Herbert Road at 0415 GMT.

Five fire crews and a hydraulic platform were originally at the blaze, which caused substantial damage to the building.

Fire investigators, along with two fire crews, are still at the scene. The centre includes ramps and pipes for skaters.

Finally some nice weather

The Edge bowls, Zooport
The Edge bowls, Zooport

It's been pretty quiet over the winter with a lot of people hibernating and not getting out on their bikes due the cold shitty weather. It was a nice day today so a few of us had an early morning bowl sesh at Newport bowls. There's a few photos in my gallery but don't expect anything too exciting.

The new look site should appear over the weekend at some point, just got to make a few more tweaks.
