Where do you run your xmod?

Just wondering if folks could list where they use their xmod. My house is all carpet
I have heard tennis courts, basketball gyms, where else?? I am looking for ideas, have not had a chance to run my car yet anywhere, its been a week since I got it.
My work lobby would be perfect, tons of smooth marble flooring but I doubt security would be very happy.

i run on my concrete driveway occasionaly. its fairly smooth but i put tape on the bottom just to be on the safe side. tennis court would be the best though, no cracks and plenty of traction...

I run mine in my development parking lot. Its not the smoothest, but the Xmod handles it pretty well. It takes a tumble once in a while and gets scratched and dirty....but it is a tough bugger. I am considering getting a second one to run on indoor surfaces or tracks only.

If you have the room build a track or buy an rcp-track. Racing on a track will really make a difference in your driving skills.

I've started running in the temporary tie down section of a local airport. The blacktop is EXTREMELY smooth (plus no sand or pebbles, the propwash keeps the area clean!), allowing some interesting results.
Ever had a car develope so much speed it tumbled end over end just cause the tires wouldn't stick while driving strait ? Now my prize Honda is scratched all up, gotta start gluing the tires to the rims (sigh).
Give your local airport a try, its amazing how many folks will come over and watch.
