## Abstract

A track of interlocking segments for traversal by wheel-based vehicles. The track comprises at least one segment, each segment including a support side, a track side, a left side, a right side, a front side, and a rear side. An interactive element is coupled to the track side of each segment, providing enhanced engagement, customization, and playability. Additionally, a connection member is provided to connect the segments together, allowing for easy assembly and disassembly. The connection member is specifically configured to couple the at least one segment to a second segment, ensuring a secure and stable connection between segments. The track design offers versatility and flexibility for creating various track configurations, providing an enjoyable and interactive experience for wheel-based vehicle users.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A track for wheel-based vehicles, comprising at least one segment, wherein the at least one segment includes:
a support side, a track side, a left side, a right side, a front side, and a rear side;
an interactive element removably attached to the track side of the at least one segment; and
a connection member configured to connect the at least one segment to a second segment, wherein the connection member is configured to couple the at least one segment to the second segment.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The track of claim 1, wherein the at least one segment has a length between 2 and 6 feet and a width between 1 and 4 feet, wherein the length is measured from the front side to the rear side and the width is measured from the left side to the right side.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The track of claim 1, wherein the track side of the at least one segment is raised from the support side by up to 24 inches.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The track of claim 1, further comprising a plurality of segments, the plurality of segments coupled to one another to form an enclosed circuit.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The track of claim 1, wherein the at least one segment comprises an entry ramp, wherein the entry ramp is an inclined surface extending to a base surface from the track side of the left side or the right side of the at least one segment.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The track of claim 5, wherein the entry ramp includes an exit ramp, wherein the exit ramp is a second inclined surface extending to the base surface from the track of the left side or the right side of the at least one segment.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The track of claim 1, wherein the at least one segment further comprises:
a siding, wherein the siding extends above the track side in a position substantially perpendicular to the support side of the at least one segment.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The track of claim 7, wherein the siding is connected to at least the front side, the left side, or the right side of the at least one segment.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The track of claim 1, wherein the at least one segment is made from at least one material selected from the group consisting of plastic, rubber, fiberglass, or a combination thereof.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The track of claim 1, wherein the track side of the at least one segment comprises a semi-cylindrical surface, wherein the semi-cylindrical surface includes a first elevated portion above the right side of the at least one segment, a second elevated portion above the left side of the at least one segment, and a curved lowered portion extending from the first elevated portion to the second elevated portion.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

The track of claim 1, wherein the interactive element includes one or more of a lining mat, an anti-slip strip, a rock effect, a wave effect, a mud effect, a stick effect, or a combination thereof.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The track of claim 11, wherein the interactive element has an interactive width less than a width of the at least one segment.

### Claim 13 (depends on 1)

The track of claim 1, wherein the connection member is configured to releasably couple the at least one segment to the second segment.

### Claim 14 (depends on 13)

The track of claim 13, wherein the connection member includes at least one male member secured within at least one female portion.

### Claim 15 (depends on 14)

The track of claim 14, wherein the male and female portions are secured by frictional engagement.

### Claim 16 (depends on 13)

The track of claim 13, wherein the connection member includes at least one of hooks and loops, snap fasteners, snap fit connections, magnets, zippers, clips, clamps, latches and catches, bayonet connections, hook-and-loop straps, pressure-fit connections, and screw connections, buckles, hook and eye closures, twist locks, push-button releases, adhesive connections, toggle clamps, quick-release buckles, push-fit connections, twist-off caps, slide and snap connections, and magnetic snaps, ball-detent connections connection.

### Claim 17 (depends on 1)

The track of claim 1, wherein the connection member includes interlocking members.

### Claim 18 (depends on 1)

The track of claim 1, wherein one or more audio playback devices are coupled to the at least one segment.

### Claim 19

A method of assembly, the method comprising:
coupling a first segment to a second segment via a connection member, at least one of the first segment and the second segment further comprising a support side, a track side, a left side, a right side, a front side, and a rear side; and
positioning an interactive element on the track side of at least one of the first segment and the second segment, the interactive element configured for riding on by a wheel-based vehicle.

### Claim 20

A system, comprising:
a carrying case, the carrying case comprising of:
a base;
a handle coupled to a top side of the base;
at least one strap disposed on the base and removeably wrapped around the base; and
at least one fastener, wherein the at least one fastener is coupled to a first end of the at least one strap and provides a connection mechanism to fasten the first end of the at least one strap to a second end of the at least one strap; and
at least one segment configured to fit inside the carrying case, the at least one segment comprising:
a support side, a track side, a left side, a right side, a front side, and a rear side;
an interactive element removably attached to the track side of the at least one segment; and
a connection member configured to connect the at least one segment to a second segment, wherein the connection member is configured to couple the at least one segment to the second segment.
