‘Oh Crap’ Monday: Segway Race Gone Wrong
Monday already is the crappiest day of the week…
… so it only makes sense that we make things official. Here’s our latest “oh crap” moment.
After a full day of cowboy mounted shooting (that didn’t quite go as planned anyway) most people would pack it in and call it a day. Or have a few adult beverages and wallow in their misery. But my friends? Nope. We find creative ways to keep the chaos rolling. Enter the Segway race.
Because what says “responsible adult” more than climbing onto a wobbly, battery-powered scooter (or weird uni-wheel contraption that apparently goes 45 MPH????) after you’ve been riding horses at top speed with guns in hand all day? Exactly. Nothing.
I felt good going in. I knew I wouldn’t win on the straight, but thought I could make up time on the turns. That turned out… not to be true.
One second: smooth sailing. The next: gravity reminded everyone that Segways are not, in fact, meant to race in an arena. With sand flying and the Segway left well behind my body, I went down in a glorious display of flailing limbs and dignity lost. The result? Pants full of sand, a bruised ego, and a lot of laughs.

Moral of the story: when the shooting stops and the horses are put away, maybe just… walk? Or at least be prepared to tuck and roll.
Go forth and tackle your Monday, Horse Nation.
