Riding Segways with Ethan Morgan


Ethan Morgan has been subject to discrimination, scorn and exclusion just because he is a pioneer of the Freestyle Segway Riding Movement. We sat down with this brave young man to find out more about his motivation to be the best Freestyle Segway Rider in the world despite all the intolerance he is facing along the way. One thing is for sure: he would not be where he is now if it were not for his family, friends and his dog JAX who supported him during good and during bad times..
We were very touched by his story and his courage to stand up for his passion!

If you have no idea what we are actually talking about then have a look at this video first:


We saw you rockin' that Segway with Halldor and Sage. Do you think you have what it takes to become a sponsored Segway Pro?
I already got McDonalds to support me on the McDonalds segway sport team

What moves are hot right now on a Segway? Do you ride any obstacles?
No, I just cruise from one end to another, while eating mcdonalds

Do they actually run drug tests on you at Nike? Just curious..
Haha, no no, Nike is not FIS…

It's a shame Ethan wants to quit snowboarding in order to focus exclusivey on Segging. We wish you all the best for your future, Ethan! What's wack on Seggies? Are there things such as Tindies, Tailfishes or Zeaches as well?
No pretty much everything is cool on a segway, even if you just have one, you are way cooler than everybody else...

 How do you cope with people contempting you and your sport? Obviously Segging looks kinda kooky to most of us.
Haterz gonna hate

What do your parents think about your Segging? Are they worried about you sometimes?
They are sometimes afraid that I might get injured in traffic, bikers and pedestrians can be very dangerous sometimes.

Do you still hang out with „regular“ people who don't Segway or do you stick with your kind?

Sometimes I manage to hang with 'regular' people but when I Seg it up, I am way too cool.

Ethan's dog JAX has been supporting him since day one of his Segway career
Where do you see yourself in 5 Segway Years?
I hope I can get a promodel segway...that would be insane

How is the SEGGIE Scene in Austria right now?
Its small now but in the future everybody will be segging it up, the demand is high
