Impressive... but it seems there's some poetic license going on. Take a look at the track. Plenty of skid marks on it in most of the areas, indication several runs. Take a look at the day light between the start of the video and end. It seems they pieced together the best sub-runs into a short film giving the impression that the driver did one continous flawless run. Advertising at its best...

You could make many cars look pretty impressive given enough "takes."

I did notice that there was a lot of skid marks.

I wonder how many bodies were 'sacraficed' on that 'Segway?

Notice he hits a barrier and then 2 seconds later they cut to a different camera view of him coming out of that section... the dust changes color (it was dark when he hit the barrier, light when he comes out) and there are no dents!
