Cross-country Segway Rider Hits Film Circuit

Not many people can say they've ridden a Segway Human Transporter cross-country. But Josh Caldwell can, and he has the film footage to prove it.

Caldwell, along with close friend Hunter Weeks, filmed the feature-length documentary 10 MPH, which depicts a transcontinental journey atop one of the electric scooters from Seattle to Boston in 2004. Caldwell had the honors of actually riding the Segway while Weeks and a few crew members followed him in a Jeep Cherokee over the course of 100 days.

Now, several film festival awards later, 10 MPH is going on another cross-country trip. This time, it's for a series of film screenings that began in Seattle on Saturday and will be held in a total of 21 U.S. cities. The tour ends August 27 in Dallas.
