I got to ride one too in Seattle...I don't know exactly why but it just did whatever I wanted it to...no real problems controlling it. It was a lot of fun though.

You are right it is a good idea to look up and around. Getting on was the weirdest part because you can feel it is very sensitive but once you are on it does just what you want. The closest thing I can compare it to are those dreams when you are flying because you are moving at a constant pace and you really don't have to think about what you are doing because it is so simple to ride. I did have to lean backwards a little when I wanted to stop too but that's kind of automatic too.
