Razor sharp memories

One time I almost died on a Razor scooter.

My sophomore year of college, my friend, Michelle Neil-Lyons, and I decided to go on my Razor down a hill. Mind you, I didn't know that the back wheel had a break and I thought I could just coast to a slow stop. I didn't realize there was construction at the bottom of the hill and so I decided that it was still soon enough that I could ditch the scooter, run, and I'd be ok.

I was wrong. Here was the result.

All I could do was laugh. Seriously. Then Michelle came running down and said "THAT WAS AWESOME!" It was a highlight of the year. However, it was the day before a swim meet. The first one of the season actually. So, I gave my Razor away and have never been on one since. In fact, if you still want to see my scar from the incident, it's still visible on my left elbow.
