This year at Newtons, we are donating all our haybales to the Burrumbuttock Hay Runners

We have started a GoFundMe campaign to raise money to help offset the cost.

A haybale costs us $10 to buy, we have 650 of them at Newtons. If you can spare $10, sponsor a hayebale, it is an amazing charity. Hay is collected around NSW and trucked to farmers in need.…

A few years ago, we had an opportunity to see the first electric skateboard. Due to short range, less-powerful electric motor and several other issues, it wasn’t extremely popular. Nowadays, there are hundreds of different electric skateboards, and they are gaining popularity as we speak. An interesting thing to mention is that now you can play flash games that feature electric skateboards. They are available at unblocked…

Hey there Skateboarders, 

Here is a little something to make you feel a little proud, particularly as we come up to Critmas.

It is a little known fact that there are some of our group who are active in the skate scene but are also active in the area of giving back to the community. These are the punters who not only leave blood and DNA on the roads of Australia, but these little bleeders attend the Blood Bank to donate their finest, that which is termed as 'RED…

The finishline will be flagged, bagged, tagged and bannered by Cre8tive Sk8.

Cre8tive Sk8 is owned and operated by Australian legend Adrian "Ado" Alderson. He is the original and till the best.

Basement Skate have stepped up and become the first big sponsor for the Mt Keira IDF World Cup.

The crash corner we all know and love will be the Basement Skate corner this year. This corner is the last big corner before the straight to the finish line.
