so many cards clothespinned to the wheels it was hard to pedal

Some of my bike wrecks (without a helmet) left a whole side of my body road-rashed. I should have died several times over from all of the crazy shit I tried, sometimes failed at and just got lucky. A lot of friends and school mates were not so lucky. What is the point of a life without risk. That was the dystopia the movies pointed at.

That is the difference between understanding kids will be kids and some idiot screaming "child endangerment" because he "could" be hurt. We fear pain (any pain) now to the point the new generations think they are living in the safty of their phone. Danger is charging a pill box in a video game. We can be in a crowed room and so alone with a phone as our only "real" friend.
What a sad future we move towards!!

Yeah, seems a few years later in life, I "recall" I might have broke frames on couple of Artic Cat mini-bikes too...(Wow, some long-ago good times/memories with some minor permanent damage not to discuss/no regrets.)
I won't go into the go-cart I bought w/ Christmas, BD, mowing, farm/fence and helping money pre-driving...
Wow, HOW did we all live? Err, maybe a better statement is it seems many of us GOT TO LIVE!

Good news is grandson #1 is ALL BOY and Dad/Mom are cool and happy with a real boy... This will likely be fun!

Guess I am an old fart. I remember fondly all of the crazy things we did, but we made it. I am tired of the government protecting us from ourselves.
+1, I may not be as old as some, but when I see what kids nowadays get away with, I just shake my head.
