Here's the page from Glidewalk on the Segway LA glide.

Note that first image. You can even open it in a new window MUCH LARGER.

A great day!

Another awesome picture of the LA group - with everyone included.

And Peter is writing a book about the Segway HT due out this summer.

One question, though. You indicate the slope of the concrete ramp to be 25 degrees. Do you mean 25 percent? 25 degrees is VERY steep - a greater than 50 percent grade. From the picture is does not look to be twice as steep as the 13 degree hill I travel every day.

The shot was fairly tele and the angle indicated is what was read off Photoshop when the line was drawn. I used the fence post atop the hill as a reference since there wasn't another vertical. The angle of view makes the measurement off, somewhat, so it isn't a full 25 but it is STEEP! I wouldn't be surprised to see that it was really 22 (?).

Toybuilder has an inclinometer. We'll go measure it sometime and update the image with accuracy. (toybuilder, I just volunteered your gizmo!)
