"Liberty Segway" Group in Sacramento?
 

A few of us went to Old Town Sacramento this past Saturday to glide the boarded sidewalks and cobblestone streets, afterwhich we glided through the mall and parked to watch the annual Christmas Parade pass by.

In the parade, there was a large contingent, maybe a dozen or more, of young people on mostly Gen1 Segways, all with white placards that read "Liberty Segway." Anyone heard of them?

I haven't heard of them. Maybe we should ask Norris at Segway of Sacramento. Is Liberty Segway the local tour operation? Hmmm....probably not...I think they use i2's.

You did take advantage of the opportunity and invited them to come join us for polo, right?

If we weren't all boxed in by the crowd, we certainly would have.

I talked to Norris at Segway of Sacramento, and he has no idea who this group might be. Norris didn't think it was the local tour company since they have exclusively Gen 2's. Can anyone give me some ideas? Maybe there's a Liberty Mutual facility here with lots of security guards on segways??

Well, I'll be keeping an eye out for parades in the Sacramento area. These folks will probably pop up again...and we need to get polo mallets in their hands!

Perhaps members of the group in this thread?

Liberty High School?
 

Since they were all young people, I thought they were possibly a High School club. Liberty High? They were all dressed in white, their Segways were white, and the placards on the front were white. They all wore these yellow and blue stiped safety vests. They did a bunch of deft moves and spins for the audience.

(I had previously 'googled' for the name and found the DRAFT's "Liberty Segway" but I am certain it wasn't about that.)

Perhaps we could ascertain a contact for the parade to acquire a list of the constituents. I'll call around later today.

Liberty Segway Identified!
 

I called the City of Sacramento, who referred me to a consulting firm which organized the event, and I left them a message asking for contact information on the Liberty Segway group. They responded with a contact name and number and email address. I called the contact this morning and it turns out they are a new Segway rental business in Sacramento, so your first inkling was correct. They are using a blend of Gen1 and new machine, I believe the X2. I'll email the contact shortly with the information on Segway polo.

come out and play
 

...well I be damn, carnation. kids on segways, are the old getting younger? hope so, we have so little time.
