I was big into bike riding and this was the height of Evel Knievel and Smokey and The Bandit, so you learn the limits of how much dumb shit you can get away with before you fuck your self up the hard way.
I lived out in the country and had a big ass yard (which was great to play that baseball game 500 in), and we used to hydroslide on ATC's (3-wheelers) in the backyard. Basically got a ski rope and attached a piece of plywood to the ATC, hop on and go. It's all fun and games until your buddy gets you in a tight turn and then thing goes airborne sideways (like a kite souring away) with you on it. Def had my share of bumps, bruises, and stitches from said ATC's.

We would also soak tennis balls in kerosene, light them, and play catch at night with my moms oven mitts, which didn't go over well.

The 70's were the best. Oh, need to add the Dukes of Hazzard to the mix.
