A new pump track has officially opened in Cornwall.

A Skate Jam marked the unveiling in Nansledan, near Newquay, with live music, rider demos, competitions, prizes and food and drink.

Maverick Skateparks built the track on behalf of the Duchy of Cornwall.

Sam Kirkness, Nansledan development manager at the Duchy of Cornwall, said: "The new pump track is just fantastic and we are delighted to see so many children and adults already enjoying it throughout the day."

He added: "We hope to see riders of all ages from across Nansledan, Newquay and beyond come along."

The new track can be found behind Nansledan's Primary School, off William Hosking Road.

The jam is on until 16:00 BST with demos, sessions and informal competitions for scooter, skate and BMX riders.
