It had to happen: Some crazy kids are showing how to do "verts" and some x-treme stuff on that gunning 12 mile per hour power hog, the Segway. Extreme Segway has a few photographs and will be posting tricks later on. Ah, there's nothing like trashing thousands of dollars of goods. It's like when Gothamist tries to open with our teeth, we briefly think about our formerly braces clad teeth and the various headgear assicated with it. Then we carry on.
Gothamist wonders what NY Segway owners consider tricks. Navigating it safely through Fairway? Not getting your Jack Spade bag caught on anyone? The only real Segway trick we've learned of is using it as a conversation starter with young ladies, whose feet were tired from climbing down their office tower's stairs in heels, during the Blackout, as a spry gentleman of a certain age did in Midtown East last August.
Gizmodo reported on the poor man's Segway, the Fakeway from CES.

Sorry to say, the pix are definitely faked. You can see the lines where the Segways were superimposed, most likely over BMX pix.
Somebody clearly put their fake celebrity porn skills to use.
Would've been cool tho.
Er, yeah, what Ash said. Cute photoshop job though.
Photoshopped? No way. Thrashin' on a Segway may only be for the rich kids, but it's real. Tony Hawk's been talking to Dean Kamen about co-developing a "Pro Segwayer" game for Xbox.
oh it's real- i was grinding on a segway at the skate park under the brooklyn bridge last week.
I think that site and it's pictures are photoshopped bullshit. They are low res and the lighing do not fully match. They took some motocross pictures and photoshopped Segways into them.
Of course the pictures are fake, newsflash to the above commenters
Oh, and tricking out on the Segway isn't even the freshest thing anymore. The kids at the Hudson River Park skatepark were mad for them a few weeks ago, but now they're all about the Lark scooter. A few months ago, it was wheelbarrows and they'll be on to something else soon.
Ooh, maybe they'll be using the walker soon.
Satire, people, it's called satire!
And I thought street luge was the dumbist thing I had ever seen.
We have a new champion...even if it is fake.
