Thanks, Ted and Aldo--FANTASTIC STUFF!

I know there are blacktop outdoor tracks where Joe Schmoes like me can ride (e.g., Kenosha, WI in my neck of the woods). But where in the country can a regular guy ride real BOARDS INDOORS, just to see what it's like? I'd love to do it some day (Who wouldn't, right?).

Cheerio,
