Pretty sure the inventor of the Segway died by going off a cliff while on a Segway. Just a thought!
Edit: cheers for the correction. In other news I'm pretty sure of, eating carrots helps you see in the dark!

> inventor of the Segway
"Dean Lawrence Kamen is an American engineer, inventor, and businessman. He is known for his invention of the Segway and iBOT"
Took less than a second to google this. This is how misinformation works.

Nah I’m gonna go with ucsb isla vista
Edit: nah I’m wrong. It’s Santa Cruz someone has pic below

It's the Seymour Center in Santa Cruz.

Jerry was a quidditch seeker. Flew so God damn fast. Never did catch no golden snitch, but he never fell on his ass.
Jerry was a quidditch seeker, he'd say "Hogwarts Number One." With a petronus sticker on his firebolt, he'd toss a bludger just for fun.
Ahhhh. Ahhhh.

Nah it’s west cliff in Santa Cruz and we hate people who ride this shit on the walking path

I immediately thought it was Santa Cruz

This would be so much better with the derpy Harry Potter music in the background...

Agreed. I woulda checked the dude.
Yes, it's funny. No, you don't do that shit on a clifftop walking path.

My first reaction was this has to be a student from DLI in Monterey. 🤣

Confirming this. Here's a picture I took there where that piece of wood sticking out of the ground near the end of the gif is visible.
Go banana slugs.

Definitely. The trail to campus point
Edit: dang I’m wrong! No islands in the background and the buildings are wrong.

You lean weight on the backfoot the motor either shuts off or actively helps slow down.
I wanted one, then the company thought it was a good practice for bricking the unit if you unplugged the battery like say if you were flying with it.

there's also a issue with them just taking off on their own.

By believing information you researched for less than a second? Fair play.

He's on a GT so much less chance of nosediving but still a possible castration!

I did make it up, thanks. It's meant to be to the tune of Jerry Was a Racecar Driver

Yeah, I got the reference! Turned out good man

I’m positive that’s a MAGwheel. Some people call them trotters.
deckard1980 t1_iumovp9 wrote
Magwheel is the non-patent Chinese equivalent. This is definitely a Onewheel. I have the same one
Thatoneguyonreddit28 t1_iumozrb wrote
Santa Cruz for sure
tbirdpug t1_iumqkr4 wrote
Damn that was my guess too. Though those houses in the distance looked misplaced for where I thought this was (on the other side of the lagoon).

Oh. What makes the GT one nosedive less? (I broke my arm going too fast uphill on an XR)
deckard1980 t1_iune02r wrote
More torque. I took a few heavy falls on my Xr as im quite big. Gives you more chance of pulling out of a nosedive.

The bozos downvoting you have never walked on west cliff
Enorats t1_iuov43w wrote
Those things are so incredibly dangerous. The slightest thing goes wrong (heck, even if it just loses power for any reason) and you're slamming shoulder first into the ground at relatively high speeds.
Their design leads to inherently more dangerous falls than something like roller blades or a skateboard. You don't continue in a mostly forward direction and roll, instead you tilt forward and then just splat into the ground.
LeaCTrockboys t1_iuoxvg1 wrote
Right. I didn't believe it and that's why I googled it.

Battery is too big to fly with anyway.
Ghosting issue was solved with recall and was only present when user hopped off board. Using simple stop or heel lift doesn’t ghost, even with bad sensor.

Yeah, first thought for me was Asilomar Beach near Monterey. I was wrong, but it’s still funny seeing how many others thought the same. Linguists unite!
