The Segway Phenomenon

I started thinking, is it even possible to look 'cool' riding a Segway? You may ask what a Segway is, and I'm sure you've seen them around. Here's the nifty little device.



I searched for examples of people riding them to find the answer:

Here's a couple of cool cats. I can almost guarantee they are saying "Look Ma, no hands!"


If you're a real risk taker, here's a model for you. This guy lives by the quote "If you're not livin' on the edge, you're takin' up too much space."


Here's a guy you might recognize, Mr. George W. Bush. He was probably trying to land a sweet trick and ended up falling over on his hot ride. Next time stick the landing G-Dub.




The only cool picture I've found is below, a guy jumping out of a plane with one in his hand, in which case this guy is still an idiot, like the rest, because he forgot a parachute. Maybe he's hoping the segway will break his fall.




In conclusion: It doesn't matter if you're off-roading, landing tricks, riding with no hands, or even jumping out of a place with one, a segway will NOT make you look cool. Better luck next time suckers.
