Admit it. When you’re out doing something silly on wheels, you’re proud that people are looking at you thinking “I want to be him, if I hadn’t grown up.”

For a second there, it looked like he was wielding a broom in the second panel. Broom ball on ripsticks: I could see that as a sport. If Wozniak and friends can play polo on Segways, why not?
Darn right! But let’s hope Segway polo is NOT ‘the next big thing’.
The best example of someone actively promoting ‘the next big thing’ I’ve ever seen was a guy that used to kayak on the Ocoee, and other crowded rivers, standing up on his boat using an extra long kayak paddle. His wooden (yep) helmet and PFD had ‘The Next Big Thing’ scratched onto them, if I’m remembering at all right.
I think his sport has caught on: http://host.madison.com/entertainment/city_life/article_4aaa01c6-8aa5-11df-b092-001cc4c002e0.html
There’s also a guy who’s out on Lake Mendota every other day during the summer with individual small kayaks or pontoons strapped to his feet and a long kayak paddle. He’s fast, but of all the ways to get some exercise, I can’t imagine anything more grueling.
I’m sorry, but I WANT to do that. And, both my KIDS have tried that! (Didn’t know anyone was succeeding yet, though.)
Grueling is the new Cardio, right?
It would be so refreshing if people like that would just *admit* to their envy, instead of trying to pass it off as moral superiority. As H.G. Wells once stated, “Moral indignation is jealousy with a halo.”
