You might recall our “A Morning With” video of Demolition Parts rider, Scott Hamlin riding Newport Skatepark. A few days ago a fire broke out at the Skatepark in Wales – leaving it in ruins.
“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.”
R.I.P…
what about the assurances?
you mean insurance?
fuck cant believe it used to enjoy making the ode trip there and have done for the last 8 years or so.
Perfect to just start all over again and build it bigger and better.
Bad times ahead for the welsh.
But that edit is sweet.
R.I.P xx
That place has insurance job written all over it.
insurance scandal! that couldnt of gone up accidentally
That really sucks man, hope everyone’s ok, and hope you sort everything out. look on the bright side, if it all works out well, you will be able to be able to build a new amzing skatepark, good luck with it all.
i think the cause of the fire is quite apparent in the first 10 seconds of the video.
R.I.P i were saving to go there for a week but now its burnt down its such a let down it will be missed
it was a shithole anyway
same thing happened in Belgium in newPACT skatepark
