New things to ride this summer

Here is some good news coming from Caerphilly about Van Road trails.

"Van Rd Trails Group (VRTG) are pleased to announce that they have signed a 10 year agreement with the Forestry Commission Wales (FCW) to manage the Dirt Jumps and Trails located on Van Rd in Caerphilly"

The trails should be finished and open to the public in early summer.

A bit further afeild is a new concrete skatepark being built in Newtown, Mid Wales which looks like it's going to be sweet.

I'm glad more councils are deciding to use concrete now instead of the usual Ikea flatpack skatelite stuff

Max plaza edit

Max may be the most anoying bmxer in South Wales, but he sure has more than enough street moves that make up for that. Here is an edit filmed by Tudor in an hour at Cardiff Plaza.

This site mostly covers South Wales, but here is some more Northely news. There is a new skatepark in Deeside North Wales. It looks packed with flowy ramps and well worth travelling to. I haven't got much more info at the moment so here is a photo of the layout.

Newport Bowls update

Good job we are not in a recession and the government have got plenty of money available for them to spend because otherwise this news may come accross as a pointless waste of money.

It looks like they are moving Newport Bowls (The Edge skatepark) to another site, dont know where yet but here is a bit more info from a newspaper. http://www.westerntelegraph.co.uk/archive/2011/10/12/Latest+News+(swa_news)/9300642.__175k_to_help_give_Newport_skatepark_new_home/

I've heard some rumours about an indoor skatepark in the process of being built as well. Anyone know how true this is, or just rumour.

Dean is back !!

Good news for the welsh scene is the welcome return of Dean. Missing in action for a few years but after witnesssing him ride yesterday you'd never think he'd been away. Dean goes fast and big on whatever he rides so expect to see more madness around South Wales and beyond.

Good to see you back Dean.
