We used to ride in the back of pickups too. Buddy of mine had a 4x4 with roll bar so we would stand up while going down the road or 4 wheeling. Used to skid hop too. Snow covered road, grab the back bumper of a car, squat, use your shoes like skis and let it pull you to the other side of town.

When I was 15 or 16, I rode in the back of a pickup on Interstate 70 from Mount Airy to Frederick in Maryland (about 15 miles or so).
Now you have to wear a helmet on a bike, or skiing - the government nannyism has expanded way way too far.
