I just rode a segway!

SO COOL. And it was tricky at first. (I wont make fun of the President) I didnt fall, but at first it goes against your natural inclination to control your balance. I wobbled back and forth quite a bit. Like on a bike, you naturally use your arms and lean for control. This thing is so sensitive it reacts to your attempts by wigging out to your pressure. Its in your knees, you relax, give it up and let the segway balance you. It reminded me ot those trust activites, you fall back and trust you'll be caught. WEE! I didnt want to give it back.
