Me and Jim went to Newport yesterday, no-one else could be convinced to go. Got in there and you know what Newport is like in the summer… Hottest thing on earth! The guy working there hadn’t opened the doors either so was a full on oven in there! Opened the doors a bit and wasn’t so bad but was still sweat central.

Spent some time going round the abandoned building next door to cool of and such. Found some pretty cool stuff.

Was a real good riding session as well once we had adjusted to the greenhouse like temperatures.

Jim blasts out a table on a shady as quarter pipe.

Moto/euro-table/downside-table etc over the box

Wow a rare riding picture of me trying to do a turndown on the infamous Newport box. We pretty much had the place to ourselves all day which is always nice. Jim photo.

I think I put up an almost identical shot of this a while ago, but I like it so it goes up again.

X-up. The toilets at Newport are the most grimy thing ever. This has no relevance to this x-up but it fully feels like your going to get interrogated by KGB in Russia or something. Just adds to the feel of the skatepark though I guess.

This is probably the photo I was most stoked on from the day; Jim doing a something over the box.

Tyre grab. Jim got a puncture a bit after this, which is always funny to watch cause his front wheel is a mission to get in/out for some reason… And then the repair didn’t hold about 10 times and he got a bit livid.. Brought a new tube in the end from the skatepark dude for £3 which is pretty good considering how expensive everything else is in there!

Un-lookback or something

A pretty good 360 bail.

I leave Cardiff tomorrow for the summer which sucks, leaving mates, riding spots girlfriend and all to go back home and get my shoulder sliced open! Not sure if I am going to get the chance to ride again before the op, hopefully for a bit today or on Monday or something.

Another picture from the burnt out building next door.
