Wow man... this is what happens when I comment on Engadget before coffee.
"the world's first live broadcast of a full Segway Polo match,"
And the last.
dont let your polo enthusiasm make you forget that Dec 16th is the Boston Tea Party for Ron Paul though.... Donation bomb happening that day ;)
sorry i had to
Wow, this will be like watching grass grow...
If you're into this kind of thing, we did a shoot with Woz at a Segway Polo match a couple of months ago. Footage and an interview are at http://techchannel.att.com/site/home/index.cfm?key=9d71e0301260bf69b58f26d1cf141bd4
To jump right to the piece, click on the Scenes tab on the right, then the Segway Polo link.
Am I the only one that sees Woz as the unhip, techie nerd version of Paris Hilton?
Paris Hilton and Woz in the same sentence. You sir, are a master of words. :)
Much respect for the Woz. But, I can't see myself watching this. It's boring enough with the horses, now they have Segways.
The only way I am going to watch this is if they rip out the electric motors and strap on some V8s!!!! Or maybe the motors from a TESLA!!!
I believe similar events preceeded the fall of the Roman Empire. Now only if someone would play a fiddle on a Segway(tm). Great coverage, important news.
This post caught teh ghey!
OMG OLD APPLE GUY JIZZ!!!!!!11one
Woz is the man no matter how you slice it.
I wonder what our ancestors would think if they saw this - "advanced" society?
Woz needs to park the Segway and do a little walking. It's like the Rascal Scooter for rich people.
Lamest thing I've ever heard of in my entire life? Yes, I believe so.
Shouldn't it be against the rules to raise the club over the handlebars?
nope.
I know I am going to get titled fanboy and lowest ranked...
But I want to atleast watch a second of Woz... who knows? Maybe a hockey style fight will erupt?
But I won't watch more then 3 minutes...
It's all fun and games til Ogre shows up with the rest of the Alpha Betas.
Wack him, Woz...WACK HIM!!!
nice one! :)

Live? Wow, hope nobody embarrasses thems... too late.
Maybe Woz will hit somebody with the polo ball like he did last year.

I think it'd be cooler if, instead of having to hold onto the handlebars, they instead wore ski boots lashed to the Segway base. That way they could probably control the motion entirely with their lower body, and the upper body would have a full range of motion.
Then they could replace the mallet with a sword or flail, and hold a shield in the other hand. And then they'd fight each other in a ring with a lion or grizzly bear.
