I just arrived in Miami, shooting a Tribecca Film Festival entry which is all about Segways, Pepe, I need you, where are you, Please contact me. Anyone who has stunt experience on Segways in the Miami and Ft Lauderdale area should contact me. This is the kind of exposure that will help us all.

Itsi,
If you're covering travel & accomodation expenses, I can scrape together all the Segway rowdies you need. Send for spare parts, you'll need 'em.

sorry no funds for travel or housing, in fact I need 3 females, one that can jump up and hang off of a fire escape (Eurynome, the goddess of creation, and let the segway move on, One Ukemochi, Japanese goddess of hope and food, the goddess who can take a one wheel short glide and Gaun Yin (goddess of mercy)
one who can jump some water. I have a feature dancer Kali, the goddess of destruction who will dance to rap in a Miami club. The stuntman needs only to do the cu's, the model will do the long shots.
Other segway background are also needed male and female. thanks for the offer. I need Pepper!!!! where are you!!!!
SC 45 Ext NYC street
two segways are gliding down the middle of the street. We see a small group of roller skating hockey kids. One segways takes a short cut, the other glides into the hockey game. The bad duds have been told to take out the girl. As the badest hockey player takes a death swing with his stick, the girl jumps up grabs a fire escape, the Segway comes to a halt. Our other girl has arrived an takes out one skate with the segway wheel. The hockey player nails the asphalt with one Segway wheel standing on his hand, the other girl has arrived and standing on the other hand, he is in pain flopping on the street."
this is a sample.

If I can't get it in Miami, I will return to NYC and get Segway Bill to do the featured dance, I hope! He has the most experience in spins and his stunts are major.

I think this is exactly what Dean Kamen had envisioned when he invented the Segway HT.

Another scene:
two Goddesses are gliding towards camera, we see their point of view of a couple of thugs,waiting to take them out. cut by to one girls throwing the a section of thin piano wire. They continue to glide with the wire stretched tight. Cut to POV of bad guys as they duck but razor sharp wire take off part of their scalp. Long shot from behind as the girls glide on with hair and flesh hanging off the wire.
It gets better when the 3 girls take on the entire gang

C'mon Itsi, I saw this same film 12 years ago at Sundance. Only the Godesses were riding Mongoose BMX bikes and the high speed action was non-stop for over 4 hours.

If riding 2 hours is fun, then riding 20 hours is 10 times more fun.

Did it have the scene of the girl with the long full skirt, when she glides by a worker with a leaf blower tilts it up under her skirt. The skirt blows up in front of her face while gliding, she come to a quick halt. does a fast 360 spin with her heavy handbag, right into the face of the creep.
or a shot of a construction crane in the middle of NYC which pulls a buried I model Segway out from under the earth.
John M send me the name of that movie.

Is this a sequel to 'Glen or Glenda'?

Maybe you'll want to pick up a few of these (since the instruction manual says "no stunts").

I'm in St. Pete. I can do some wicked stunts but no way I'd use my own Segway for what I'd do.
I'm a guy, though.
Joe Eigo is a good friend of mine. Now he can do some wicked stunts, but I don't think he knows how to ride a Segway. He was just in FL too.

All set Peppe is going to do the main stunt, this Monday. I will have minor stunts and maybe Kelsey can come to NYC for a day and knock off many of the other cuts needed.
