Segway Polo: The Geekiest Sport Ever!
Segway Polo is really similar to conventional polo, but instead of playing on horseback, players use a Segway to move around the game field. Unfortunately since a Segway costs around $5000, it’s not exactly everybody that can afford to play. Video after the jump.
