Segway Revolutionizes Polo

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the horses-are-so-yesterday dept.

Mirkon writes "The Register is carrying a story on an example of how technology is making sports better: Segway Polo. The San Francisco Bay Area Segway Enthusiasts Group has instructions on how to build a mallet (PDF), and a video clip of Segway Polo in action (MOV). A revolutionary device, indeed."

    Found this image on [H]ardOCP: off-road segway

    For those of you using lynx: it's a segway with huge spiked tires on a sled hitched to the back of a Hummer H2. Go figure. ;)

    Call me fussy, but I'd prefer unicycle hockey over that any day.

    Unicycle hockey is much faster and more agile than that. There is an advantage in that you have both hands free for holding the stick which serves to make it less awkward looking.

    Cheers,
