An Ode to the Razor Scooter

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at PSU chapter.

 

Skrt. Skrt. That’s the sweet sound of my 10 year-old Razor Scooter coming to halt as I ride through the streets of State College. The wind blows through my hair as I steadily keep one foot on my scooter and the other on the brake for safety. I brace for impact right before I start to roll down a hill. The adrenal rush as this happens makes me feel pure bliss. It suddenly reminds me of all the reasons why Razor Scooters are the best.

1. They may be a bit outdated, but slowly and surely Razor Scooters are becoming the next big fashion trend that all the cool kids will have in no time.

2. If you’re ever running a bit late, Razor Scooters can help get you where you are going faster.

3. Riding a Razor Scooter is a great stress reliever because it’ll instantaneously remind you of your carefree childhood days as soon as you take it for a spin.

4. Riding a Razor Scooter around town is a fantastic way to meet new friends because people will be eager to ask you to borrow it for a joyride.

5. When you’re in the mood to ride your Razor Scooter, it’s an excuse to have some fun in the sun with your friends.

So break out your scooter and start exploring the town – it’ll be a decision you won’t regret!
