Rode our bikes to a nearby frozen large pond. Got going fast, jumped off the bike and skitched holding our bikes. When slowed down but not quite stopped, hop back on the bike, turn around and do it again.

Did the same thing on icy roads when in HS with the station wagon.

One deep snow a road had a pretty deep bar ditch that went into a culvert. IThe snow, and drifting snow made the area area look flat, but the bar ditch was about 7 ft deep. Stopped the car, ran and jumped in the middle of the bar ditch, disappearing in the snow that looked flat and even with the curb. Crouched down and ran into the culvert making a tunnel under the snow. Then skittered into the culvert until I bumped into a ladder going up the side with a lid. Slid the man hole open and popped up out of the hole. Freaked everyone out. It was like I disappeared into about 6 inches of snow, then popped up 30-40 ft away. Of course, then everyone had to pile out and jump in the snow filled bar ditch.

We also had a local lake freeze over. A friend and I walked across the lake. Ever so often we dug a hole to see how thick the ice was. It was thicker than our tire iron was long. might not sound like a big deal to northerners, but in Oklahoma we thought it was really daring.
