Dot Com Segway - PWN and FAIL Edition
Posted by Stephen on
July 30, 2008
It was a Segway kind of day today as Michael Kwan, John Chow and I travelled out to Langley, BC Canada for a private test ride of the new Segway x2. The test ride was setup by Larry Runnalls of Segway BC, the sole distributor of the product line this side of Canada. Larry has setup quite the business renting and selling Segways to the movie industry as well as ambulance and police forces across the BC. We were very thankful that he took time out of his day to deal with a group of misfits like us.
Unfortunately, this would be the last time you’ll see Michael Kwan smiling as there is a reason this is called the “PWN and FAIL” Edition. Check out the video…
Poor Michael. He’ll never live this or the “Spooning” thing down. Not only did he run over my FLIP Mino, but he ran over himself as well.
Fortunately, the FLIP Mino survived to tell the tale and to film another day. I was surprised that it didn’t crush under the pressure of Michael and the Segway x2 running over it. I guess Pure Video really did do their homework when creating this device as the metal ring protected both the lens and the body from harm with just a few scratches.
Overall, everyone had a lot of fun today and even though a Kwanye and a Flip Mino were harmed in the making of this video, at least both will live to ride again another day. I’m sure we’ll be sharing our war stories at this weekend’s Dot Com Pho.
How does Michael manage to embarrass himself in nearly every situation possible? We’re going to miss that when he goes to Deadmonton.

That was a lot of fun! Off-road segwaying.
It was really embarrassing for Kwanye, but at least he got the “segway whisperer” tag.

Oh, and don’t forget $40 for wang, Stephen. We can’t let him live that down either. There’s video evidence!

Of course. It is forever embedded into the Kwanye Lore

That was hilarious!! What was the thing that was attached to the flip at the bottom. I’m guessing its some kind of mount. Either way, that was an awesome video.
I was using this:

Oh wow. I had read that review on FutureLooks but it looked different in the video. Seems pretty cool.
Wow, they designed the segway to never fall over but I guess they need to work on preventing people from falling off! lol

Kwanye is just being Kwanye. Even if you strapped him in, he’d still find some way to bite it

Kwan and Segways do not mix!

I dont know about Segways, they are kind of steeply priced, I prefer something like this : http://www.zapworld.com/electric-vehicles/offroad-ev/atv-e-800-midsize which costs less and you can SIT.
I’d keep him away from HappyScooter.
He’ll be renting at Dot Com Scooter Gang. I have a feeling that damage deposit won’t be returned
