Cardiff Skate Plaza

Cardiff Skate Plaza is just about finished now, just needs a bit of time for the concrete to set properly. I'm not sure when it's officially open but I'm guessing it will be some time this month.
There are more photos on City Surfs website.

eccycles news (on move)

You may have heard the rumors, or you may have read our signs- It is true to say "we are moving"!!! That's right come the end of September we will be closing our current store based in Pontypridd and will be relocating about 5min drive up the road to Nelson (next to Jack Baker Carpets) a much larger premises. We hope that you agree on our move and get ready for the exciting times ahead.

@ TGM London

I took a trip to London to ride my bike few weeks back and trever lacey filmed a new trick 360 xfooted barflip check it out.

Rotations promo video

Rotations began as project 360° in 2008 and currently exists as a duet between a BMX flatlander and B-Boy (breakdancer). It is now going into its next phase of development that will produce an outdoor performance and a dance on film.

Kompany Malakhi continue to create unique and cutting edge work with this gritty yet graceful exploration of cause and effect. Combining the extreme sport of BMX Flatland with Breakin’ (breakdancing), Parkour and Contemporary Dance, Rotations twists and turns in an intricate and elegant game of rumours and whispers. Available in either short duet or longer quartet format, it is an innovative and compelling celebration of art and sport working towards the 2012 Cultural Olympiad.

Rotations will be touring the UK and internationally from Summer 2010 leading up to the Cultural Olympiad 2012.

Some philly skatepark news

I have just read some news on AberdareSkatepark.com about Caerphilly skatepark getting built by the end of the year:

"An application was made to the Community Facilities and Activities Programme (part of the Welsh Assembly) in April for £200k. News on if successful or not should be received in early July.

If funded construction will go ahead ASAP (as long as Maverick aren't busy elsewhere and the money is available quickly) with completion by the October half term the target and no later than the December school holidays.

If un-successful then the Council, Youth Offending Service and St Martins Youth Project (who have all been involved so far) will resubmit in October along with looking at other ways to raise the money." Hagwag.

I was hoping it would be done ready for the summer, but that looks highly unlikely now, but hopefully we will have a dry winter (ha like that's gonna happen) to ride it.

An update? About time you slacker!

Here's a video Miles put together of this years Chepstow Jam.

In other news Cardiff skate plaza is starting to take shape as you can see from the image below stolen from facebook. Still not sure what's up with the Caerphilly skatepark but it sounds like they are still after money to get it built.
