We saw this post in our forum and were sad to see what looks like Barcelona’s MACBA Big Four under destruction. It’s hard to tell 100 percent from the photo if there’s still a runway or not, and we don’t know if that’s the only section of the stairs they’ll be taking out or if there’s more removal to come. Comment if you know.

Yes, it's true the Big Four are gone! The word on the street here in Barcelona is that the front of the museum will also earn an anti skateboarding treatment.
August 2nd, 2009 at 1:51 am
its only a fucking stairset so stop bitching
August 2nd, 2009 at 1:53 am
way to destroy history…
>:(
August 2nd, 2009 at 3:22 am

I heard koston destroyed it with his fakie 360 flip.

This spot Got MURDERED a long time ago. The only trick left was an ollie up the BIG 4. But R.I.P. non the less.
August 2nd, 2009 at 7:55 am
True in deed.
August 2nd, 2009 at 11:20 am
As far as I know they are not going to build a new set. The whole spot was getting special attention from the Police for a long time ago, and the rumour is that they are gonna rebuild it in a way that is not so appealing for skateboarding, maybe some knobs too… but that's just a rumour thought.
Barcelona and specially MACBA are suffering from the same problem that other spots such as Love Park did…too many people and some not so positive stuff happening there.
But being the paradise that Barcelona is, there's always new spots popping out and a huge city full of potential to explore.
August 2nd, 2009 at 11:28 am
hell yeah! stoked this stuff is gone. hopefully skateboarding can progress in a creative direction now
August 2nd, 2009 at 1:03 pm
I pooped my pantses
August 2nd, 2009 at 1:44 pm
there was nothing left to do down the set anyhow.
August 2nd, 2009 at 4:07 pm
Isn' there anything you guys can do, maybe a petition or something?
off all the places i've been too macba was really my favourite spot
because that place is really magical, drink beers at night, skating & chilling,
it's way too good to be ruin and we are with enough i think to have some influence
on their decisions?

I heard Tony Tave Destroyed it Flawlessly with a Nollie Tre
I heard

switch backside 360 anyone?????????theres still tricks that could/can have gone down!!!
August 2nd, 2009 at 6:26 pm
i can see barcy being a bust int he future, everything will be nobbed. People going to barcy and blowing it up is going to ruin barcy. skatebaorders from all over the world are going to keep going to barcy to sk8 shit, until the locals and police get tired of it. Then everything will be capped and the locals will have nothing to skate. I recall seeing barcelona in a few 411 back in the day when i first started skating. an now its in every skate video out there
August 2nd, 2009 at 8:53 pm
the one that pops in my mind is Danny Way pulls a 360 with no pop in the DC video i think
August 2nd, 2009 at 9:36 pm
im only back from barce its still skateable !!!!
August 2nd, 2009 at 10:25 pm
we must save macba!!
i have been living in barcelona for 6 months and im going back this winter, macba IS the best spot for hangin out with your homies and skating, the absolutely best flatground i have ever been skating and sick stairs and curbs..it would be really bad for skateboarding if a mecca like macba will be destroyed, love, eltoro, macba…whats next?
August 3rd, 2009 at 12:52 am
It's still skateable, but I don't know for how long.
There are some rumours that it's gonna be rebuild,
and also that the whole spot will be skatestopped but no one knows when this will happen.
August 3rd, 2009 at 1:41 am
Spencer Hamilton was the last to really kill this spot, 3 tricks in his strange brew part: nollie varial flip, sw backside flip, frontside halfcab flip. Wow, watch that part if you haven't yet.
August 3rd, 2009 at 3:43 am
I heard lizard king destroyd it witha firecracker all 4 blocks
August 3rd, 2009 at 8:06 am

August 3rd, 2009 at 3:17 pm

August 3rd, 2009 at 4:43 pm

August 3rd, 2009 at 10:39 pm

August 4th, 2009 at 8:23 pm
If people are only going to Barcelona to skate MACBA, then they're missing out on a lot any way.

I'm 13 years old & i never has skate that spot,
i'm fuckin sick of it, that peolpe just ruin our youth,
destroy video games but not our skate spots!
the next cop that comes complaining gets his ass kicked, so hard!
September 15th, 2009 at 2:20 pm
i been there today and they made basic concrete for bang.may be)
October 6th, 2009 at 1:10 pm
Barcelona locals are not too fond of skaters. MACBA, Universitat and very especially Paisos Catalans are actually /hated/ places, so no big surprise here - this is just the beginning.
October 9th, 2009 at 11:03 am
i heard Chuck Norris is rebuilding it with his fist
