    I Love It. Being a kid in the 70s there were a few of those in the neighborhood. I like the fact everyone's
    doing stunts with no helmets. No hovering parents. Man I miss those days.

  4. In the 60s my dad built a chopper for me from parts liberated from GARBAGE PICKIN, he made the wheelie bar from a sissy bar and two pieces of 1/2” conduit. I hafta tell you, I had the coolest bike in the neighbor hood and could ride a wheelie forever!!! Mitch

    Not a helmet in sight. Most in bare feet. How did we ever survive?

  8. We used to line up metal garbage cans on their sides in a gravel alley and jump them using make shift plywood ramps. No helmets, no nothing, just all the other kids gathered around watching and cheering. NEVER NEVER NEVER had a parent or nosey neighbor come out to shag us. No one got seriously hurt and we all lived to brag about it. Kids these days are all SISSYS,,,,yea I said it SISSYS !!!!! Mitch.
