A toddler’s sassy approach to scootering is turning him into social media’s #ScooterKid.
The now-viral footage features a carefree 2-year-old from Columbus, Ohio, cruising on a green scooter, left leg flung high and to the side with the sort of jejune nonchalance the rest of us pay our therapists small fortunes to recapture. Yung Bae’s hit jam “Bad Boy” pumps in the background, suggesting that although young, this kid knows very well that his swag game is outstanding.
“My nephew is making people all around the world smile with this video and I think we all needed it,” Zazon, 24, hypes in her post.
Fans of the video agreed, posting words of encouragement: “OMG! What a stinking cutie!” one new Insta fan exclaimed. “Wish I had this kids style . . . what a legend,” another chimed in. The internet has spoken.
A Columbus-based skater apparel company also took notice — and recruited him to model some tees on, where else?, Twitter:
Perhaps unsurprisingly, this isn’t the sassy scooter kid’s first brush with internet fame. In a prior viral TikTok video he gained online notoriety — and nearly 300,000 views and 40,000 likes — for mistakenly mispronouncing “popsicle” as “f - - k a bus,” a mistake any of us could make.
