During winter, they have a race league so they can pull in the adults and kids (thru word of mouth) who want to keep up with the training year round. Lots of potential at that spot.

There was a place called Boston Hills in Andover, Ma that used to have summer skiing. You skied on clear plastic bristles that were kind of like a push broom turned upside down. It failed miserably.

Here's a Google Maps image:

Old technology and timing has something to do with it. The UK guys are making things with the rider in mind. The section where they put in bumps doesn't bother me either .

Cool! That technology looks like it has a chance. Boston Hills had a material that looked like the blue stuff they showed 1/4 of the way into that video clip.

Bromley used to offer turf skiing back in the day. The ski had a bunch of 4" diameter by 6" wide rollers. I went a few times in the early 1970's. Of course, not many places pick rocks the way Bromley did.
