If this keeps up, we just might have to make an entire section called sports:parabolic!I think downhill hockey is cool, though. Maybe in winter... |

I would table a parabolic pool (swimming). Holy vertigo, Batman! The water skier in the joke would finally find a sloping lake, but still not get anywhere. |

This would have to be a big rink. If the curve was at all measurable over the length of a skate, the skate would dig itself in at each end. You could of course cheat and curve the skate slightly, but this would only work consistently in a hemispherical rink. Of course the zamboni is another matter entirely. |

Ah, good point. A new patented variable shape blade will need to be developed. Start with, say, 10 blade segments, and hold them in a straight line using springs. Pressure on the ends changes the shape. |

Maybe just different levels in a flat rink would be feasible. Skaters could jump from a low level up to a high level, make a biiiiiiiiig jump off a high level to a low level, etc. |
