putting baseball cards in the spokes of you bike with wooden clothespins so it would sound like a "motorcycle."

a piece of scrap plywood over a concrete block to make a ramp and play "evil knievel."

a leather biker jacket you could live in. it was your coat, your pillow, your blanket, whatever.

switchblades and your first pocket knife.

wax coke bottles with different color syrup inside.

packs of CANDY CIGARETTES! bubblegum cigars! oh my! 😮

Do you remember the clay wheels that came on these babies?

If you hit a grain of sand they would launch you like a human cannonball.

Nobody mentioned the good old pogo stick.

How many of you remember " Pusho ". Hint: you had to build it. JonR

not only clay wheels but they also had steel wheels as well not to fun when you hit the grain of sand and do a face plant on the black top...

buddha daddy: huh... don't remember those. the one i had came with metal wheels of some kind -- hit a pebble and they'd launch you like a rocket. 😛

JonR: yeah, we had a pusho in our neighborhood. when he wore the red hat, he had heroin to sell that day. don't know about building it, except that you had to build your street cred before he'd even sell you any herb. 🙂 oh wait... that was a pushER.

see Tony you do remember me. ah ha...
