Hendo has a great technology. Their first human-rideable version was frictionless in all directions. This was un-steerable, and even Tony Hawk couldn't do much with the thing. By 2015, they had a version that was a little more controllable. But not much.[1] No new news in over a year.
If Hendo ever gets something that works and is available in volume, it's time to get the a real place equipped for it. The plaza in front of the San Mateo County Historical Society building in Redwood City looks like Courthouse Square from Back to the Future. Skateboarders use that plaza now, and it's used for ice skating some winters, so why not?

Reminds me of the hendo Hoverboard startup, which from looking at some of their prototypes i think used the same principle: http://hendohover.com/

Can we use them only on conducting sidewalks then? Might become pretty expensive, especially if copper is used.
