The Haverfordwest Skatepark One Year Anniversary Jam is set for Saturday June 20th from 12 - 4pm. The jam will be held at the Picton Playing Fields in Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire (West Wales) SA611UG. "The park contains terrain for all styles and abilities – 2 bowls of different shapes with various hips and corners, linked by a volcano/spine, one 4&1/2ft with 6ft extensions and one 4&1/2ft with waterfalls to a pool style 6ft – 8ft deep end. There’s a ‘ditch’ section, jump-box and a big ‘north-shore’ style curved wall-ride/hip… a banked ‘amphitheatre’ with tiered ledges, and a long, spacious street section around 2 sides of the park with an array of ledges, banks, rails and many other unique features… too many to list! Suffice to say there’s something for everyone and lines for miles! There’s plenty of seating and spectator/rest areas out of the way of skatepark traffic and the scheme is floodlit until 9pm every day."

Jam format competitions with prizes from our awesome sponsors!

It's getting pretty quiet in the magazine world but a few of them are going strong. One of them is BMX Rider magazine out of Germany. They've only been on the market for a couple of years, but they've just finished their 18th issue full of BMX stories. June 3rd is when the mag comes out but here's the cover which gives away some of the stories you can find inside. The Mankind crew went on a family trip and BMX Rider was on board to give you the scoop. Country Bikes was still carrying a banana ramp around the country and here's part two. Barcelona never seems to fail. BMX Rider brings a report of the city with the endless spots. Helmets are important, also in BMX racing. A full face lid is mandatory and BMX Rider tests buckets from Troy Lee, Fox and Bell. They compare the BMX helmets against the Motocross helmets. Which one is better? Are you in need for some Cult pedals? Maybe it's time to subscribe.
