now heres a strange pressent from my parents

segway racing, didnt know what it was and a quick google bought up one of these

I've been playing with one every night during the entire winter olympics in turin, those are very very brilliantly thought out, and very funny and nice to drive.

takes a little getting used two, you basicly need to fall over to the front of you and the thing starts moving to keep you upright, the thing is that this results in driving forward. leaning backwards stops you, simply put falling on this kind of machine is very very hard to do, unless you hit something you can't go over, then it's "face down head first tarmac biting"...... (ouch)

steering is done with you tumb

have you allready done it?

If they weren't so bloody expensive I would want one.
