Street Dome progress
Another shot of Grindline concrete work at Denmark’s “Street Dome.”
Street Dome WTF??? (!!!)
Space Mountain? A dream? No, it’s real. (Pinch me.) This fantastic project is underway right now in Haderslev, Denmark. At first I thought it was just an outdoor skatepark tacked on to some sort of museum, but the dome will house more skateable terrain, ironically bowls, while the actual “street” sections are all outdoors. There appears to be some sort of performance space indoors, and oddly enough, half a basketball court in the middle of it all. That’s not even a first for the the team of Glifberg/lykke. Check out the Lemvig, Denmark skatepark, (the best pictures are actually on the news section of their site, but there’s no direct link, so scroll down.) And yes, it is Rune Glifberg on the design team.

It does appear to be rather large. Check it out on Ramp Riders. (Yes, this is a year old.)
Big in Shanghai
Here’s a proposed hotel in Shanghai by a Danish architectures firm called Big. The scale is way off, those transitions could be measured in blocks instead of feet. Still, it would be ridable. Very similar to the big gay retirement home. – Thanks to Josh Fisher for the tip.
Alis Paint Board
Here’s a short but crazy video of a guy with two paint rollers fixed to his board instead of trucks. It comes from the folks at Alis in Denmark with no explanation whatsoever. Whoever this is, he doesn’t seem to have a problem ripping on a wackyboard. – Thanks to Michel Skart Poulin for the tip.
