Bottle rocket wars!!!

Thats nothing, we found pen flares in an abandoned VW Bug, take 20 steps, turn and fire. Can you say brush fire. lol

Use to take the Estees rockets, use a booster engine, but have it go off when the rocket was heading down.

Would try to hit the planes as they came in for landing at JFK airport too. Yes, the planes were that low.

Anybody remember Clackers? They were dangerous as all got out. Every time they got broken out someone would get hurt. I just looked them up trying to find a pic and found a link that said they were based on a weapon from Argentina.

Who had an extra set of forks welded on your bike to make a chopper? I did, my neighbor was a body man and fixed my sears Freespirit bike for me. It had a high rise sissy bar to.

Yes, I do remember clackers, both my sisters had them and I had a Schwinn Stingray with banana seat, stick shift and apes...

Re:The 70s 1 Year ago  
Late 60's (OK maybe not so late) I remember ice skating down hill and off a 3 foot jump and across the creek in the woods! I was doing "Extreme" before there was such a term for it. We called jumping while skiing, "Hot dogging", flying through the woods off jumps and over just about anything while dirt biking being a "Dare Devil" now they get paid BIG bucks for what we did for fun.

Were clackers the toy that had two fricking hard two inch balls on a string if so you took a beating learning how to get good with them
