Extream Segway

[ben timm]

i am going to say within ten years the segway will have taken off enough to have those crazy kids, to have change the way they ride it in to a sport. i can see it now. kid goes down a half pipe and on the other side does a 360 superman. cross between skateboarding, biking, and dirtbikes. would be killer.
also wait for the guys to start to teak there segways. like up the power. may not be able to run as long but to hit 50mph on one would be sweet. in stead of the 5 degrees they lean at now. set it up to about 50 and see how long you can hold it there. i can not wait. asking santa for one for my xmas.

Thats a good way to make them illegal due to the high death rate from such a mod

Someone beat you to it. :-) (Blantly reposting someone's orignal artwork)

<<Thats a good way to make them illegal due to the high death rate from such a mod>>

And I know folks would scream this but cars kill more people than just about any other form of transport and yet I never hear the cry "Ban the car save the future" Its a pet peeve on mine that I won't soapbox here.

We have got to get americans to start taking responsibilities for thier own actions.

<shudder> don't get me started

Wow, does anyone see the possibilities of our generation?
Segwayer gangs that would ride down interstate highways...what a thought.

...
Get your motor runnin',
Head out on the segway!

Note I said "Mod", 50 mph on something open - that does not ride on a road - would kill someone - would you go 50mph with a motorcycle on a sidewalk???

I understood that. My only point was that if you want to do this then you are responsible for the result. Not DEKA, Dean, or anyone else...

As for that motorcycle comment...It was just the one time and it was wrong :-)

I find that all this Segway modification stuff and Segway gangs (hehe funny) to be highly unlikely.... in fact, it's unlikely that the average person will have one anyways considering they cost around 5000 dollars. I'll own one when they lower it to ohhh hmmm say 20 bucks?

Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the Segway
Lookin' for regionals
And whatever comes our way
Yeah Kamen gonna make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

I like smoke and Duct Tape
Heavy metal thunder
Racin' with the wind
And the feelin' that I'm under
Yeah Kamen gonna make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

Like a true science child
We were born, born to be geeky
We can climb so high
I never wanna die

Born to be geeky
Born to be geeky

Feel free to keep changing this, I am having a hard time being creative in my physics class.
