I guess its because 1; DC is in possesion of more dough than you could imagine, and 2; rainyday and nigh sessions

Private is always private. Even in Barcelona. That's a big fucking warehouse by the way.

a indoor park in barcelona is like bringing you own wife when you go to the whorehouse.

Have you ever been to Barca? It does rain in Barca, way more than L.A. for example and Barca also does have a winter so it only makes sense to build it indoor.

most dc riders don't skate real street spots unless they are shooting a video.

TF's in america are blown out.

DC's only innovation is to spend more money to impress suburban mallrats.

Pretty good idea............. I look forward to seeing more skateboarding content to come out of this. I REALLY hope steve doesn't make it super serious guyz.

Nothing better to watch in skateboarding right now than DC trying to figure how to spend money badly.

Just cause they're naked doesn't mean they'd touch your willy.  It's not worth the risk, I say jerk it while you can and then approach them.

An 'incivility' law introduced in Barcelona to crack down on Senegalese hookers on the Ramblas etc has a wide remit for cops to act more or less with impunity in terms of taking boards even when you're not skating so within that context it's probably welcome. Plus almost all the locals are on good terms with DC  since it was one of their bigger markets for oversized logo's historically.

I'd like to hear a barcelona local weigh in on this. I'd have thought skaters there would be pretty bitter about the city's complete raping, but perhaps not. If there was a european berrics, that would make me pretty mad. I like being able to separate modern american skating from everything else in terms of it's overall wackness.

silly?
you wrote "we got actual snow" not "we will have snow for a couple of days during 3 month winter time"
don?t be a crybaby - a lot of countrys have more bad wether conditions then middle europe/germany.

I have done outdoor skatesessions during Chrismas and New Year in Barca in a T-Shirt!
To have a indoor skatpark woud be cool - but for the public - not for a selected group by DC/ Steve Berra.
