I'm not saying this because I race on the velodrome (I think you all should give track racing a try) but, it's just dumb. 14 meters (45ft) is 4 or 5% of the length of a real velodrome.

How absurd would it be if someone built a 14 meter running track and had races on it? How about 4ft long basketball court with hoops 2ft off the ground? It would be hard to take any of it seriously. And it didn't even look fun. A skatepark is more fun if you want weird obstacles and transitions.

Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should
