thats pretty sweet. I just dont get the NO throttle idea. leaning backwards to stop seems like a dangerous thing in traffic. but it must be required in the gyroscope controls to keep you from toppling over. ---

I just dont get the NO throttle idea. leaning backwards to stop seems like a dangerous thing in traffic. but it must be required in the gyroscope controls to keep you from toppling over. i agree. the idea of leaning forward and backward to stop on a major road might end in death. ---

The fact that they found the biggest doucebag in the area to ride that thing for pics already makes me hate it. Looks like one of those springy things at kids playgrounds.

^^He does have huge chick sunglasses and 2-sizes-too-tight clothing… Maybe his cool is just too much for our untrained perceptions. EDIT: “Ben J. Poss Gulak,” WTF is with that name? He has two middle names? Two last surnames?
