similar to the 50’s - just no plastic bikes. Lots of sharp metal to cut and gouge us with. Tetnis galore. And we LIKED it!

I remember riding my stripped and tuned Honda SL-70 mini cycle all alone 40 miles in the desert on back roads and washes just to get to the races.

I did wear a Helmet and gloves but it was a year or so before I could make enough on my paper route to buy a proper set of motocross boots.

The Emergency Room was my friend

Those were the days.

I remember riding a go cart up to a 3 foot high cliff as fast as I could get it to go. It would sale about 6 feet into the air and crash onto the ground. After a while the steel pipe frame broke.

I remember doing that and also where you would build up a good amount of speed and grab the one side brake and do the apun out thing
God I loved my big wheel haha

Yep. Good God, my childhood would have been absolutely no fun if it were run by the soccer moms of today.
