Windodrome

Spread your wings and skate

An oval wind tunnel track with lanes for skating, running, cycling, etc.

There would be a barrier in the centre to separate the airflows and waist-high barriers to separate the different activities/surfaces in the concentric lanes.

But why? You ask. Oh ye of little imagination. For the practically inclined, it's an opportunity to practice tilting into a headwind. Later, the more frivolous don wing suits and head downwind, skating, running and jumping at frankly reckless velocities.

       //How and where do you place the fan(s)?// There could be stadium style seating, and a bar area with more informal tables, but this viewing area probably needs to be separated from the tracks by large plate glass windows.

       The fans could simply be like those used in road tunnels. It would be more interesting to use air entrainment through large arches, like Dyson fans.   

       Hmm, how large would your shoes need to be for an air hockey rink?
