Ahhh, the Good [dangerous] Old Days !!

We had giant lawn darts when I was a kid. It was great fun and of course you could threaten people with them when the ground was too icy to play.

As far as riding goes, I used to ride around hanging off the side of my uncle's tractor sometimes for miles at a stretch.

Also, I had a red rider BB gun at least until my brother shot me in the back with it and my parents decided that that was not a good toy idea.
