If you’re like some college Bustin’ out the bikes — They say it’s easy to get back up on a bike, and Hope students definitely students, you go back to bed and hope to wake up in time for your next class. agree. The bike racks are consistently full during class For those students who jump out of bed and hurry out the door, there are time every day, which shows that bikes are definitely the most popular form of transportation on campus. different ways they get to class in time to hear their professor say, “All right, But as student Jacob Bullard (’11) has experienced, it is not always the safest. “Well, a few grim days ago, let’s get started.” Around campus, there are numerous ways of travelling to and I took a little tumble on the way back from campus. Going around 20 mph and trying to shift is harder than from class, or even just cruising through the Pine Grove. it seems.” Bullard has fully recovered from his scrapes and scratches.

Lovin’ the longboard — No, it’s not a surfboard we’re talking about. But it’s practically a surfboard with wheels. Longboards just look awesome, especially when you’re hauling your book bag around campus and manage to balance at the same time. If you don’t fall or get your wheels stuck in the railroad tracks, props to you. Now, if you haven’t tried one yet, there is still time. The number of longboard owners seems to be drastically Scootin’ the scooter — Yes — they’re still here. Yes — they’re still sold in stores. Yes — you increasing around campus. Sioned Sitkiewicz (’12) says, should try riding one. What can we say about the scooter? It’s awesome and it’s foldable. What “Longboarding around campus is a great stress reliever and it helps more could you ask for? Maybe a motor-powered scooter. But wait, they have those, too! Try a me get to class a little faster which is especially nice because I scooter. Kick it old school. You’re bound to enjoy them! Take it from Tom Fifer (’12), “I like us- live on 15th. I think it’s great that a lot more people are starting ing my scooter for the same reason people like using bikes or longboards. I can get around campus to board, and it’s also nice seeing more girls boarding around much faster than walking, so getting to a class that is across campus on time is much easier. Plus, campus, definitely more than when I was a freshman!” I don’t have to take time to lock it up like with a bike; I can just fold it up at the door and walk right into class. Super efficient.”

Cruisin’ the car — We see you, Kleinheksel Cottage resident who drives to class Ridin’ the RipStick — It’s a board with two wheels. Impossible? Of course not. While it looks when it’s raining. While Hope’s campus is small, sometimes you can’t escape the challenging, some students actually ride a RipStick around Hope’s campus. On RipStick.com, it claims need to get to where you’re going in under 30 seconds. We couldn’t get anyone to that you “Just Twist and Go!” It’s basically a balancing act. Andrew Young (’11), a proud owner of a comment on this unpopular act, but we know who you are… we always will. RipStick says, “They’re really fun but extremely inefficient…it’s a fun yet inefficient way to travel around campus. It’s easy to fall. Most days I take a wipe-out…I wipe out five out of 10 days.” So, if you’re ready for a challenge, grab one and go!
