These guys remind me of what vikings would have been like if they were slightly more courteous and also dressed like gaylords. Comments/Enlarge | See all


I vote that we replace room full of blondes with these two for "every teenage boy's fantasy." It's more realistic and it acknowledges just how many of us were jerking off to Tank Girl and Love and Rockets. Comments/Enlarge | See all

SABERSEGGING

The Two Greatest Inventions of All Time, Together at Last


BY JASON CROMBIE

When history looks back at our quaint little era, it will focus on two things, the two most outstanding technological achievements of mankind: Segways and lightsabers. Segways are the chariots of the modern age, and lightsabers are the sabers of the modern age. Why hasn’t anyone thought to combine them? Well, we have. We have thought to combine them into a genius new sport called Sabersegging that we here at Vice magazine have invented. Copyright: us. Step 1 was inventing this genius game (done), and step 2 was sending Vice correspondent Jason Crombie off to become the first Sabersegger ever in existence. Take it away, Crombo.

Before you can Saberseg, you must first master both Segging and sabering. Itsi Atkins is a horny, gnomelike gentleman and New York’s foremost Segway instructor. He’s actually New York’s only Segway instructor, since no one else wants to do it. It was difficult to master the art of the Segway, not because I’m a slow learner or anything, but because Itsi was primarily concerned with teaching the two ladies who were there with me. I kept asking for a go but Itsi couldn’t or wouldn’t hear me. He was too busy telling Amy and Gabi to “show us your girls.” According to Itsi, Segways are controlled by sticking your boobs out as far as possible. At one point Itsi actually jumped on a Segway behind Amy and did a reach-around move like the pottery scene from Ghost, only not as consensual. It’s also worth mentioning that later on, Itsi produced a large leather paddle, which he used to strike the ladies’ bottoms as they whizzed past on the Segways. I am not making this up. Itsi has a thing for paddlin’, and he explained that in his free time he likes to participate in a little light Segway S&M.

"Most of the Jedis come in full costume and most have their own assortment of customized and sometimes homemade lightsabers"

this to me, sounds like they are taking it a little too seriously. i guess everyone needs a hobby but getting dressed up and being a jedi is as bad if not worse than medieval reeinactments you see in the park.

Looks like they had fun. I will never understand when people feel the need to be negative towards others that have never done harm to you. If they are having fun why become beligerant. If it is not your thing, hey cool. But why bring negativity to people that you do not even know. I never understood the elementary school yard mentality of name calling.

As to taking things seriously, do they look like they are taking things seriously, they are running around on segways with lightsabers. If they took it too seriously i think they would not do something like that. Just looks like they are trying to have some fun, even if you approve or not.

Again intersting article. Wonder what other segway or saber related things exist out there.

i can almost see the emergency room staff’s eyes when you try to explain that you broke your clavicle light saber dueling on a segway.

Headstand-Segging looks awesome! I have always wondered what my cat sees when he terrorizes the house except upside-down!
