Day Out: Segway Racing

My friend Anthony received a voucher to go Segway Racing on his birthday. For some reason the person he thinks to take with him is the only stunting woman he knows... me..

As my besty commented "are you out stunting again?"

Drive just out of London and to some near lake area later. This place is great for active kids and adults. As I see kids ready to go out in canoe's or wind surfing. Health and safety done. Padded and a few kicks to each others chine's later. Yes we started making Thai boxing moves on each other once the chin pads were on and a few "haii yaaa" Bruce lee sounds. Instructor tried not to laugh. We was kitted out for the terrain. The circuit was a bit of a bore just going round and round. Trying not to hit the sides of the wheels. Where we witnessed a big guy take a drop cause he got too close to his other half's segway, and trying to avoid on coming collisions like tree stumps and each other.

One thing I didn't manage to avoid was dropping backwards on a slope. Smacked my face and grazed my knees so bad I still have scars. The funny part was me getting up to think "crap my face is my job... manager will kill me if this bruises!"

Fun to do.. but racing it was not... should be advertised as Segway Terrain Circuit. Clearly not as easy as it looks though. But something fun to do.
