We never did that stuff as we were sort of the old school who just started to experiment with different stunts.
To this day I never thought some of the things they do and we dreamed of could be done, We had the dirt trck with massive jumps, cross ups and pancakes and high jumping and long jumping were the order of the day I managed to ride backwards. Do foot plants and 10ft drop offs.
One jump was cool. It was a massive pine bark pile and we set some boards up along it. I had the lowest gears so I could get way further than most. I think I could do over 15 meters on that thing and the landing was in the pine bark. Excellent
. The other jump was scary, It was a mound of dirt we rode down hard and it was a good4 meters high fast incline and slow decline on the back of the jump.
After a few spills especially that one above I tell of I lost my nerve and started stacking all the time. I gave it up for a good guitar and surf board. 24ft waves were even safer for me.
I was very accident prone and since 9mths I have scares from top to bottom. Yeah I pulled a jug on me when I was 9mths old and had my fore arm and lower bicep fuse together and it had to be separated. At 4 year old I put the same arm into an electric clothes wringer and it stopped pulling my arm in below my elbow then proceeded to friction burn my the skin there unit I was saved by my cousin.
I used to try blow cars up by throwing matches down the fuel tanks in neighbors cars and almost burnt the shed down trying to make volcanoes out of petrol and sand at 5 yo.
By the time I was 15 my mother was on prescription drugs sinequan so she could sleep. She didnt understand, we had Aspergers syndrome running through the males in my family and I don't think knowing about this disability would of help much.
LOL danger was my second name. Much stupidity was my third name.
