Here is a video I did using a sunglasses mounted camera. I think there is a nice "eat it" at the end of this.

Dude- that is without a doubt the absolutly DULLEST Segway video I have ever seen. You have got to be kidding .

Much more boring and the only good part is when he rode in to the Tree..My suggestions ...Toss that Video and put the info Key in your Pocket before it pops off and is lost forever..And stay out of the woods ya looked lost there for awhile

I've had my i2 for just about two months now, and ran past 400 miles on the odo this morning. Watching this video made me nervous as a cat -- the first couple of times I fell off my i2 was when I was driving just such a trail in the darkness. No light, just a full moon overhead, and I got snagged a couple of times by an unseen patch of mud, and a tree root.

I went down hard, aggravated my wimpy lower back muscles, and learned a lesson really well. Kids, don't be a dumbass like I was! I pay a lot more attention to the path ahead now than I did when I started.

(That's the thing about the Segway -- it takes minutes to learn to operate, but a much longer time to re-learn your high school physics.)

Anyway, playing this video, I watched the deep piles of leaves fly by at speed, saw roots encroach and sandy spots jump in his path; and I held my breath, worried for the rider's well being.

I was glad when it was over, 'cause my stomach was in knots. Boring? I wouldn't call it that.

OT, but is it common for the infokey to come loose? Hasn't happened to me... yet!

You guys have any exciting video then?
YOu don't have to watch you know...
I eat it really good at the end of this. I had to stop the cam for a minute. I'm not lost, the trails are that deep, just trying to hear where other bike riders are.
Here's more boring video:

Yeppers, that one twisted my gut up too. Maybe you ought to trade for an x2? Couple of tough falls there.

I hope you and your i2 are OK.

This looks like a great place to shoot a Segway version of Blair Witch Project.

Despite the "boring" warnings, I still decided to watch both all the way through. My final verdict: yup, boring! But there's just something about a video featuring a Segway that compells me to watch. So true, it might be up for the boring video award, but thanks for sharing anyway. Like you say, we don't need to watch. But I appreciate the time you've taken to put it online.

Edited highlights would be an idea. I especially like the "Hmm" bit from the first vid, just before you go over the planks. A bit more commentry might have livened it up.

Cheers
