10 MPH, Driving Across the US on a Segway

by Scott Beale on July 18, 2007 · 2 comments

“10 MPH” is a documentary about Josh Caldwell and Hunter Weeks who decided to quit their their jobs drive across the US on a Segway. Josh rode the Segway from Seattle to Boston in 100 days, while Hunter directed the film, which is now on DVD.

The impulsive purchase of a two-wheeled Segway scooter sets this story in motion when the two friends decide to travel from Seattle to Boston at 10 MPH in an attempt to change their lives forever…

What ensues is a road trip like none other with a haphazard cast of characters you could only find on a zany 100-day trek through America’s back roads. Each poignant story the two friends discover along the way inspires a craving inside to go out and do that thing you’re supposed to do.
