It reminds me of those concept bikes designed by design students who have never ridden a bike.
I know the track design itself is suspect - (figure 8's -- really? ) But the concept of a multi-use facility would better justify the existence of some of the tracks out there that are or have been struggling to stay afloat

It would be hard to get Loggins & Messina out to the Superdrome to play in the infield for instance , but other community park type events would be possible to work in around the riding schedules

A BMX track would even fit comfortably in the infield of a lot of tracks ---- would serve the purpose of introducing young people to our sport, --- and dads and moms too nervous to bust out double jumps may feel more comfortable trying their hand on the boards as well
