Scooter Races

It’s amazing what a bunch of crazy college students will do in the dorm on a Wednesday night. We broke out my generic Razor scooter, and raced against the clock to see who could reach the second study lounge the fastest. Turned out that what we were doing was highly dangerous… the scooter itself was inherently dangerous being a “razor” style scooter, plus we were taking it up to fairly high speeds in a building. Thankfully, though, we had no accidents, so the memory remains positive. But kids, don’t try this at home.
