It’s amazing the sports people will come up with when given a little extra time. This time it’s polo–for Segway, and it’s pretty silly looking. It’s basically just some guys playing polo on their Segways and occasionally falling off. If competitive eating can be considered a sport, I don’t see why this can’t. With all those spills though, maybe they should take a look at that recall.

Steve Wozniak of Apple fame is a big fan of this “sport”.
Unfortunately for Segway and Dean Kamen (who is an absolutely amazing supergenius), CNet’s News.com rated this the #1 Worst Technology of Q2 2006. I have to agree with their assessment.
