It is now 2012 and people 20 years ago would have thought that mankind would have invented some sort of awesome/inexpensive personal flying device by now. Unfortunately our dreams of charging around the skies above our towns and cities still seems to be a long way off. In fact the good folks at Honda have recently released the UNI-CUB, which one could argue it the exact opposite of flying. The Uni-Cub is a strange new invention along the lines of the Segway. However, it is even easier for the lazy people of the world to use than the Segway since you don’t even have to stand up.
Since the UNI-CUB moves at the speed of a person walking I would say that it offers no advantage over actually walking other than that you can sit down like a lazy bum. Maybe that would have been a better name ,”Lazy-Bum”. What do you think?
Sells real estate? That would be a ‘dirt pimp’. The hills of lower NY? That would be another dime a dozen eastcoastie. Let’s here from people actually from the mountains.
Gotta pay the bills somehow Jamie. We can all be trust funders you know. Also, I think spending the last decade in LCC makes me a mountain person. If you doubt it lets go ski/climb/ride bikes sometime and you can show me how it is done. Hater…..
Daryn, don’t even bother replying to kooks like Jamie posting useless comments… he probably rides a segue… and personally I like the the occasional trivial post, especially if its something new and funny – and like this one that strike a common chord with outdoor enthusiasts (who on this site would even consider using a UniCub?)
Seriously?
Daryn can lay it down with the best of them and because some of us in SLC have the play/work ratio finely tuned and do it SO WELL, means we know exactly what the mountains are all about.
Japan is doing some crazy shit. Keep it up, maybe we will see robotic ski patrol.
Jamie – Daryn is one the most enthusiastic mountain bros I’ve ever known. Why you gotta waste time and enjoy talking shit on someone you know nothing about is beyond me…
Daryn – Jamie kinda has point and perhaps he just didn’t know how to make it effectively. I think we’d all like to keep Unofficial about the mountains. Please post this stuff on your own FB page or another blog.. It at least drives me nuts when you guys post irrelevant material. It’s like watching a porno and then somebody throws in a 30 second infomercial about lawn ornaments…
Noted.
This invention makes me want to punch someone in the face.
This is a great way to make the world extra fat.
does it have v-tec
Jesus fucking christ. This is the last fucking thing the human race needed, an excuse to never walk again.
And you can stay on your phone the entire time! The good news is that those people won’t be able to stand up to reproduce
its like a gayer version of the segway
Hahahahahahha….:)
