Abandoned warehouse. No tripod unfortunately, roughly 30 mins there. Pavement was slick, hence no traction and no real speed. Fastest he went was about 45mph or so.

Nah, the wind just picked up...I was looking around for an idea on how to start the video and then it just happened. Probably the best spot we have ever found.

Interesting stuff.

Regarding the speed; Unless you have a speed gun, any readings you get on the track are extremely inaccurate. Your rear wheels spinning free will register a much higher speed than what you are traveling.

looked a bit slower that 45 but still damn tough in the dark on smooth concrete between poles.

Reminded me a lot of the old parking garages we'd skate in back in the day in Phoenix. Those surfaces were ridiculously slick and the place was dark as hell. I can see that being a very difficult environment. Kudos for getting in and out safely.
