And bottle rocket wars!

Dunno, on one hand if I had kids I would want all the protective gear.
On the other hand I BMWed my bike without helmet, pads, etc.
And I came out alright... Ack! The spiders! Get them off! Get them off!

Yeah!!!!!

There is a lot you can learn on building that bigger-better bike jump out of old wood. Then to only have it fold under you as you were totally committed. Blood, splinters and a scratched up bike. What could be better.

-Jumping off swings at the highest point of the forward swing.

- monkey bars!!!!!! Especially the two story one. "King of the monkey bars" Oh the blisters.....
-trick or treating until 10:00 or 11 "at night" Oh the horror!!!!
-riding around on your friends handle bars,
or better yet, in the back of the pick-up bed.......(your parents, pick-up)

As far as the lawn dart game, a childhood would not be complete unless you knew or someone knew of a kid that got one stuck in his/her head. Or even siblings that got into a fight and threw one at the other, sticking it in their back.




And they think our games were risky

D'OH

I obviously meant BMX not BMW... but you guys know what I meant.. of course back then it was just a Schwinn with knobies and all the fenders/chain guard removed.

We used to love to ride down a steep hill... use a driveway as a ramp to launch ourselfs into the neighbors ivy... one time when I hit the driveway I got my foot stuck in the spokes of the front tire and I went head over heals into the ivy... no injury.
