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?
