At first we looked like we were learning how to walk again. Our bodies were like bamboo sticks on soft clay. The whole feeling about riding a Segway is no different then to ride a water banana boat! You want to get on it but you don't want to fall from it! After a while we got the hang of it. It was amazing to see it go up and down a slope. There was a lot of computing power in that thing to make sure we maintain our coolness while we ride through out Lake Gardens!
