Really?
Looks pretty unique, although it could get kinda crazy with more than a handful of people.

Free indoor skate plaza and you are whining about it? The people who designed have done good work in the past, so why do you think it will suck?

actually most of the stuff they did in the past they fucked up.

i'm not really whining, it just looks a bit cramped and like some of the stuff will be unusable.  i realise that is just a model though.

plus it's in a train tunnel.

It's an old storage tunnel, it'll be fucking massive, i think i know pretty much where it is, and it'll be reasonably big, not for like 200 skaters but it'll be good

Yes especially with rage, the city will remove all the skateable objects, then PJ can move in and skate it alone in the dark with the sound of his own thoughts

Holy shit! Is this Ewer Street Part II?? Seems to good to be true...Fucking hell, this might encourage some of the original Southbank legends (Curtis McCann, Tony Luckhurst, Matt Dawson etc) to start skating again. I, for one, will definitely be checking it out....

The installation this crew built in Helsinki was fucking awesome. It was one of the most interesting places I've ever skated in my life. So this can't be an exception either.

It looks like it would be impossible to skate with more than a few people there.

I think everyone knows how shit the weather is in England and i'd much rather have a smaller covered park like that than a huge outdoor park that won't be skateable half the time.

Seriously England's wheater isn't that bad, they're even having a drought hahhaha, but winter is the only problem for a spot of rain

Scotland however is a different story

It'll be nice here once the global warming really kicks off
