Exactly the stuff we did growing up. I will admit, I don't think any of us caught that much air in our jumps. Helmets? We didn't need no stinking helmets.

Can you imagine that happening in today's safety obsessed, litigious society?   :-\

We cut the legs off a wooden picnic table and jump the Old Lady neighbors clothes line. The whole layout was on a downhill grade. Didn't take a lot of momentum to jump easily. Had a helper piece of plywood so the transition going up the ramp wasn't  so damn jarring,LOL!! 

Lot's of memories doing this crazy stuff, but mainly always making it
home for supper ;D


Side-Oilers

I love that someone's dad, or maybe he's just a neighbor, is casually watching all this from his front stoop.   

I hope that he safely-checked the "pallet leaning on top of a cinder block, on top of an old wooden crate" engineering plan with a grunt and a swig of his beer.

Great shot of a kid that was a good handler. We did the same and to be politically correct we had to jump a certain distance multiple times to get your distance before we lined up under the jumper. The better riders with stock gearing on a sting ray could get 25- 30 feet out of a jump on the sidewalk. Anything seemed ok if we were on the sidewalk, no street riding... Go figure. No one ever hit a wall, fence, neighbors cars etc. GOOD TIMES!

^^^ those were the days before you could choose from a dozen lawyers to sue the bike manufacturer because your kid pulled a reckless, albeit fun, stunt.

Speaking of the good old days, after some good old bmx jumps etc, I would pull out the COX airplane... you remember that 20,000 rpm propeller that liked to eat 10 year olds fingers including mine. :-[ Now a days youngsters just sit like marsh mellows in front of their I phones with nothing truly to excite the senses. :'(
