Carlo makes it look easier than it is.
Clearly, he is very good at riding and controlling a segway. I could be wrong, but I suspect he is pretty fit, pretty able to control other items well also. If I had to guess, I would say he may be able to ride a bike or in line skates, possibly better than average as well.
A segway is a conveyance. It is not too much like others, and it is very advanced regarding its ability to self stabilize, but it also is like others in that it is easily controlled, and either over controlled (most common) or ridden well. In this video we see that Carlo can control it well enough to actually add to its control.
This is not unlike other things. Some people can drive better than others. Anyone who has seen any Parkour (I suggest you You Tube it) will see that some people can clearly walk, run and jump better than others as well.
Most of what is in these videos I have seen done before on Segways. Carlo is not alone in his skills. He is however, a very good operator, and very good at the video that shows this. Good for him.
Next time I am in Italy, I would love to glide with him. However, I may not keep up all the time.
