Trippple Cross by Young Scooter

Great new track out from Young Scooter on which he and Future and Young Thug spend a few minutes talking up their “illicit activities and lavish lifestyles” over an extremely lax beat. The level of DGAF is solid Monday inspiration– repeat play recommended.

A very adult ride

Best moment of my adult life: furious Parisian man speeds down sidewalk on Razor scooter, decked out in shiny shoes and trenchcoat, talking feverishly on a blackberry. Almost tips; maintains control because he is a dignified adult, albeit riding a toy.

 

That’s pretty much everyone’s life now that scooter shares are front and center. But have you paused to consider that the service that leverages a child’s plaything for adult transit is off-limits to kids? Shared scooting is officially only for those 18 and up, and high school kids are, in typical form, not giving a shit and racking up tickets for underage scooting. Pretty much what you’d expect from a rule that’s at once totally understandable and lightly cruel.

Meanwhile, adults riders get weird

While kids get to be subversive just by riding scooters, adult users are digging deep in their imaginations to make their rides special and coming out with some crafty customizations. Simple additions include removable baskets and cupholders; the next level is seats, fashioned from crates or straight-up chairs; others attach little trailers to the back, and there’s even a report of a scooter electrifying a manual wheelchair. This is the innovation America is built on.

Take a seat

Great news, though: you don’t have to improvise your own scooter attachments. The internet is here with a manufactured scooter seat, and just $100 and shipping makes it yours.

And, like that, you scoot off into the sunset.
