Can you ride a Segway on a supercross track?

James "Bubba" Stewart has the answer

I have many questions that haven't been satisfactorily answered over the years.

One of those is why do the women dress up in beautiful gowns to present the Tattslotto draw on television? The telecast only lasts 30 seconds, and it's not as if they are going out dancing afterwards with one of the stony-faced lottery officials? Or are they?

Anyway, here's another burning question: can you ride a Segway around a supercross track? Well, the answer is below, and it's an emphatic yes. The pilot is James "Bubba" Stewart, who has just come off a championship-winning season in AMA supercross after some spectacular combat with Australia's Chad Reed.

Bubba's Segway definitely has some off-road bias, including the bigger all-terrain tyres and the Renthal handlebars.

But he got the job done on the iconic personal transporter, so he's got his green credentials on the board.

Actually, I could see the Chaser team using one of these in a skit. Segway Supercross!
