what are your thoughts on Hoverboards? the little segways-ish

I just saw one of those scooter boards on fire and the firefighter putting the fire out.

cheaply made and dangerous.
it is called made to sell, not to last.

Segways help you balance itself. this is all you!

They are supposed to self balance, similar to Segways, i.e. they have gyros and a computer. But being cheapo of course (and sometimes self combusting), all depends if it actually works or not.

Well first of all: those AREN'T hoverboards, they're a poor version of a scooter. And I'd rather walk instead of trying to use one of those things to get around anyway.

Also, did Mike Tyson try to use one recently?

Why yes, yes he did. LOL

New rule at British airports, "NO HOVERBOARDS" to be taken on any flight. They're banned completely.
