Totally awesome Video!! Makes me wish I had bought an XT!!

You only posted this is 3 forums??? I'm sure with a little creative thinking you could have found a way to post it in more than that!

Honestly, I think ONE link would have been plenty. On some of the forums I've been on, that sort of stunt would get you a lifetime ban!

Yes, but remember, three posts is three times more advertising than one.

It shows some of our Tours, we have Segways for sale, and its something to discuss. Some folks never check another topic and its easy "not" to click on the subject if you have seen it, or if you choose a "personal" ban of my posts.

I guess we do push the envelope a bit....at least were not haters that have knee jerk reactions and call for lifetime bans on people. "Jim".

Hmm. I just saw, and posted on this in another forum. Doh!

[Segway Shawn]

I have had many positive comments through emails and phone calls from Segway Chat members and new customers that have seen this video. Thank you.


We did revise it a few days ago which killed the old link and it was just brought to my attention so here is the new one.



This is my favorite video although I am waiting for couple good challenge at some flag football.

I have been looking on youtube. Nobody is posting any decent videos, come on guys....throw away the orange vests and get to moving that Segway with a camera watching.

I guess we will have to make another one.

As far as the X2 and videos go, I would think a really interesting concept would be to have one outfitted as a combat carrier.

A lone trooper outfitted with a Segway riding on a goat trail and followed by an RMP 400. The trooper negotiates terrain that, while passable by other means simply couldn't be passed as quickly. The RMP 400 dutifully follows the trooper to a small ridge top.

The trooper pulls out a pair of binoculars and scouts the landscape in front of him. He places the X2 in self balance mode and punches in a few coordinates on a control panel. The RMP 400 sprints down the goat path. A few moments later a wounded soldier is seen on top of the RMP 400 as it sprints back toward the trooper. The trooper starts to give first aid as a rescue helicopter is seen in the background.

The X2 is better machine by far. It flies through the air and never seems to shut down, not on us anyway. I have seen it leave the ground for 3 seconds or so and not even shutter when it lands.

Um, are you sure?

3 seconds is an AWFULLY long time. Please proved video shot and uploaded in playing in real time, because until I see it, I'm going to think you're suffereing from temporal displacement.

Only one of the jumps or air shots are in slow motion, it shows the same one in real time later on flying over 4 ft in the air, landing and riding off.

There is skill and balance involved, the better you are and the more you stay in balance "while in the air" the longer the machine is active. I don't think we are suffering from anything, yet. Trying to lose the geek squad type jacket that goes with a Segway.

I would like to see someone else make a video that shows some of their personal talent using a Segway, in real time of course. Maybe add some music or something, that says more than words usually.

I think the trooper video would be great, I am not a trooper so I cant do that one. Not to mention the RMP issue.

I was thinking something in the lines of a Segway Ninja, maybe ask the Segway Ninja, that may be a good one. Or something more like the theme flirting with disaster, by molly hatchet, that may be a bit extreme but that sure beats wearing a vest.
