My Birthday Present ...

[City]

Took ridiculously long to get here from some part of Asia (I must presume from the torturously translated English). 2 weeks after my birthday my "hoverboard" arrived.

We've taken a good dozen of Segway tours over the years so I'm pretty comfortable with the balance and movements, but this thing is altogether another level of near death experience. Holy crap is this thing fun and crazy dangerous. I'm going to buy wrist guards ASAP since I'm definitely going to take a serious fall at some point.

Have to find the proper place to affix my VOA sticker! :D

Really...no pictures.

[Vprbite]

Pics or it didn't happen.

[City]

Don't yet have a pic of me on the thing. Been practicing (along with my daughter) in the living room so far. But here's the one that I have:

Has running lights in front so that I can cruise the interstates at night! :rolleyes:

Did just pick up a pair of roller blade wrist guards at lunch. Going for that "hipster" look.

Bump up your AD&D insurance coverage too. ;)

That looks like crazy fun!

LOL. Yea, as if I don't do well enough making a fool of myself without a "hoverboard". I'll be down at Long Beach Island over the weekend where we plan to really put it through its paces.

I can already see Scott hovering at the mast of the Empire State Building like a Zeppelin would have had the mast actually been used for it's intended purpose :)

Fast & Furious 8, where all actors hoverboard around New York pulling crazy moves.

That's actually a great system. Smooth floors and a "walker" for balance! Might try that. LOL

Where's the video?

R I P city...

[v10enomous]

I was in NYC yesterday and saw 4 or 5 people riding these things.

[City]

R I P city... Haha!

Survived! Got reasonably good/comfortable after about 20 minutes. Of course, we remained in a newly paved parking lot. Can't imagine it's faster than walking in NYC. Maybe for 1/2 a block when there's an ebb in foot traffic, but unlike the standard Segway, these wheels are 5" or 6" so they don't take too well to pebbles and most surface changes. A handicapped curb cut is quite an experience.

It's a lot of fun after the anxiety dissipates. You still get "seg-leg" which is strained muscles in your arches and ankles after some time. But still great fun.

What's the 0 to 60 time? Have you taken it to the strip yet?

[ViperTony]

City?!? :D

[City]

What's the 0 to 60 time? Have you taken it to the strip yet?

Remember this isn't the Hemi version so 0 to 60 times are restricted to 12 seconds (0 to 8). They would be quicker if my pants didn't fill after I hit 6 MPH.

City?!? :D

LOL What the hell is that? :eek::D

Another one bites the dust!
