I didn't read the whole article in the paper...Probably reckless endangerment or something like that...They wouldn't do anything if you were on private property, but they were on a main road.
As a kid I pushed my bike to the top of West Mountain and came flying down. No way I could stay in my lane, it was hard just to stay on the road. If I had met a car coming up the mountain, it would have been over.
Man I am way past redneck,some of the stuff we used to do Its lucky we are alive.Try riding in a old radio flyer wagon being towed by a kx 80 it had two speeds fast and faster.Had a buddy doing 45mph on water skis in the snow behind a old malibu,and then there was the whip,homemade 8' wooden sled on 40' of rope being towed by a 89 f-150 4x4,five people on the sled one full faced helmet and see who could stay on the longest being towed thru corn fields at a high rate of speed then cut the wheel back and forth.The helmet was for the first person on the sled just to keep your face from getting blasted from snow and ice.people were getting broken bones and all you think we stopped nooo!

Reason: spelling
Let me tell you folks you just haven't really lived until you've been pulled through a field on a plastic sled going 50 mph.
Na jimbo.
ya ain't lived till ya ride a toboggan tied to the back of a john deere liquid fire 440 snowmobile with a studded track, doing 85mph through an ice field.
Lizzie, why am i not surprised you would post a picture like that??
Just thought you guys would like to see what the kids are up to these days!! Ha! Ha! I wish I had thought of it!! Oh, the one in the front left corner, wearing the brown Carhart coat,,, is my son, Nighthawk285!!!
You guys actually rode on stuff? We just used our boots.
Sounds like no one ever went bumper skiing?
We used to hang out at intersections after it snowed. A car would stop an a couple of us would grab the rear bumper and squat down low, see how long we could hang on. Great sport if the driver saw you and tried to dump you off.
Oh yea, bumper skiing. We used to do that too but we didn't have any snow so we would drive on the school grass after they watered and take turns hanging on the bumper of my dads 73 Vega. No, he wasn't driving and if he ever knew what we were up to we wouldn't be able to sit down for a week. lol.
two of us, aged 12-14, riding double on a bike coming down our half-mile+ hill here with the coaster brake smoking, bearing grease running out and the hub turning blue!
Y'know, once they get real hot, those coaster brakes don't work so good 'til they cool off again.
well I have been re assured that my next door neighbors are REDNECKS and therefore feel compelled to clean up the shallow end of the geen pool.
i dont mean to be overly nit picky but i do find it a bit ironic that someone who is commenting on the shallow end of the "geen" pool can't even spell "gene" correctly?? or is it just me...lol
