Segway Polo experimenting this morning... join us?

[vanclute]

Sleepy (Alex) and I will be hitting the local park here in Sunnyvale again this morning to whack various round objects around on our Segs. Those who happen to be in the Silicon Valley area would be welcome to join us, with or without seg! If interested, find Ponderosa Park in Sunnyvale on Iris off of Reed & Sequia. Perhaps we'll see someone there... =)

Oh man that was fun... we were quite a bit more agressive this time, with a much larger ball to whack. Using the sides of the mallets works much better in general too. "Dribbling" is extremely difficult though! =)

If any of you have access to more than 1 person with HT, get yourselves out to a park with some kind of homemade mallets and try it (I would suggest yellow keys on grass, Red is TOO twitchy when you're also throwing your arm & body weight around trying to hit something, and Black is like riding in molasses). It's too too too too fun.

I have a few pics of Jonathan playing polo, but no where to host them-- any volunteers?

Alex, use the Buzznet.

Chris (SegwayUtah) set it up a while ago, I like posting pics there.

I definitely want to see those pics Alex! =) Heck if all else fails, I can host them either at my domain or set up a free Yahoo Photo album or something...

Plus I have the whole series of pics that Craig took of me on my first commute across San Francisco/Daly City. Gotta put those somewhere too...

Thanks Neelix. I just emailed them to buzznet.
There are 2 shots of vanclute that I attached.

Oops, Alex, only one got posted. You have to send each picture in a separate email. The subject of the email is the title of the photo, and the text of the email is the little post.

Yeah, I set it up, but I don't have anything to do with the company. I just thought we needed a photoblog :) And I can zap photos, which I've only had to do like 3 times, all for duplicates.
