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.

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.

This bike took a beating today at Dinas and Barry as Coady was ripping (and mr steve c - all caught on camera) so if your looking for a light n strong set-up just copy Coady's. Infact just copy him anyway! Im off now to take out my fork locking bolt as it makes frontflips easier i promise.
Coady sent me the specs via facebook, spelling seems fine to me.......
