My brothers and I would send the Evel stunt cycle off a ramp at the top of a flight of stairs. It was pretty cool watching it go down like a ski jumper.

That's nothing. In the winter we would build a ramp out of packed snow and ice and jump bales of hay using Flexible Fliers, and in the summer, we jumped over the the little kids in the neigborhood while riding banana bikes over a ramp made from plywood (and broken Flexible Fliers).

Had a long, steep hill right by my house on Griffiss AFB in New York when I was about 10 and we did the same thing. Just about broke my tailbone when we did it with me sitting Tail End Charlie on a 4-man toboggan! Some of my favorite memories, trying to find something that came close to the F101 Voodoos my dad was flying at the time.
