Scooterer's Paradise
Photos and Article: Bailey Pellow/Tahatai Times Avid scooter fans hit the tarmac today in a spectacular display of skills and luck, drawing crowds of more than 50 students and teachers alike. When asked if he had any comments about this lunchtime activity, Reece Boyd said nothing but "Scooters are awesome." Tom Maidment, who was also participating commented that "Yeah, well, it keeps us out of trouble!" The scooter performance is new as of last week and is already drawing more and more spectators who's mouths open to fit a pineapple at such feats of skill. "It shows how much dedication to their hobbies students of TCS have and really shows the teachers how much they practise their skills," Alex Johnson, participant and spectator told us. Amidst all of the stunts, there was still room for school pride, with one spectator telling us 'Go TCS!!' This is yet another opportunity for the Year 7/8 students of TCS, with ramps and other scootering material. Do not miss this stunt show! Remember, its on Thursday lunchtime so bring your friends!
