Further Posted July 19, 2018 Share #1 Posted July 19, 2018 A buddy had an old Fiat, not street legal but still running. We would take turns hanging on the roof while he drove through the back field trying to shake us off. The missing hood added a bit of spice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheep_herder ★ Posted July 19, 2018 Share #2 Posted July 19, 2018 Young folks in one of the towns in western South Dakota use to drag junk cars up on a small dam, one or two would get in, and the others would tip the car and roll it side ways into the reservoir. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dottleshead ★ Posted July 20, 2018 Share #3 Posted July 20, 2018 I remember being near the top of Mt. Rainier hiking up to a bowl shape glacier and showing off with my friends. Basically it had a lip on this bowl and then dropped immediately like 50 feet and sloped straight down as far as the eye could see. Basically broken bones in the picture and you wouldn't have been able to stop oneself. So if you were in tennis shoes, you could skate the lip by sliding down the steep slope and hopefully stopping by digging your shoes in before you plunged into the white below. Well I managed to do that like 3 times and all the guys with me thought I was nuts but I captured the respect I was seeking. Well, I went back to that same spot years later after I was all grown up -- and sure enough -- I was nuts. Fucking unhinged. OMG. Such small brains we had -- just to be 'cool'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffJim Posted July 20, 2018 Share #5 Posted July 20, 2018 Pogying or as some people call it, skitching. Hanging on a back bumper and getting a ride through the snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, as far as I know. However, they lost a bunch of them one night when they were having a kegger. The way it was told to me was that one group went to get more beer, and another group got impatient, and they met at the top of a hill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisL Posted July 20, 2018 Share #8 Posted July 20, 2018 Paddling out in surf I had no business trying to surf and nearly drowning, seeing how fast I could ride my bike down a hill with both hands behind my back in a skiers tuck, getting into brawls I should've just walked away from, doing things with guns and explosives we should never have done, racing vehicles we had no business racing in areas we should never have been (and almost crashing into inbound helo's, allegedly...) It's a wonder I lived to 20 but the one thing I pride myself on is never getting caught. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddmaxx ★ Posted July 20, 2018 Share #9 Posted July 20, 2018 Joined the Navy. But that wasn't too bad for a teenager. The stupid part was when I was in my 20's and did it a second time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur ★ Posted July 20, 2018 Share #10 Posted July 20, 2018 We used to stand on the rear bumper of my buddies VW Bug, grab the roofline through the side windows and hold on for dear life. The object was for the driver to try to throw you off. ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12string Posted July 20, 2018 Share #11 Posted July 20, 2018 The old Fury station wagon had steps on the back bumper - great for standing on while holding the roof rack. When you slipped off the little step you could pull yourself back up as long as you could pull your feet up away from the road fast enough. But most of my incidents were't from trying to be cool, they were from not trying to not be stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Further Posted July 20, 2018 Author Share #12 Posted July 20, 2018 A buddy used to announce that he was tired of driving, tell the guy in the shotgun seat to take over, climb out the window across the roof & back in the passenger window, all while rolling down the highway at 55 or so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
