Cueball is seen using a hand-held game system, while on a skateboard. He is playing one of the many Tony Hawk titles in which you control a skater and perform tricks to gain points and achievements. While playing the game, he wants to simultaneously perform the trick in real life, both because it is exceptionally difficult to do both and because the game will give him praise when he does a trick successfully.
In the title text, Randall describes his Bad Idea #271: Dropping into the half-pipe on a Segway . 
One imagines this would result in the Segway becoming unstable and going completely crazy, hence one would classify it as a "bad idea."
Which is surprisingly not the case; it even looks quite fun .
The Segway engineers obviously foresaw this situation and implemented the Segway controller with its tilt sensors accordingly.
