Because of this range, it is often possible to fit skate races in improbable places. For instance, it is possible to set up a 100m track in most High School gymnasiums. You can often fit a 1Km course in an early-morning mall parking lot. The course that you select will likely have a large bearing on what type of race you choose to execute. Have a VERY fast local racer check out the course.
High speed tends to point out shortcomings in a course quickly.
Note these and try to figure out workarounds for any showstoppers. Also, throw in some hills and turns if you want, but try not to scare off the novice racers. People will often try to race through road conditions they can barely handle in a non-race situation. If you think you can get away with it, do it. If someone complains, go elsewhere without a fuss.
