VIDEO: Motocrossing a Segway with James "Bubba" Stewart
Now, to answer what we’re sure is a burning question on the minds of all of our readers… yes, it is possible to ride a Segway on a supercross track. Well, it’s a burning question if you happen to be AMA Supercross Champion James “Bubba” Stewart, that is. As you’ll see in the video we’ve conveniently pasted after the break for your viewing pleasure, for the rest of us, probably not.
From the looks of things, this particular Segway is one of the brand’s off-road models and has some specific modifications to help improve its chances on Stewart’s own personal supercross track. For instance, note its deeply lugged side-by-side tires, and, most importantly, the Renthal dirtbike-style handlebar complete with appropriate padding for safety.
Kids, don’t try this at home. Now, how long ’till we see this replicated on MythBusters?
