LMAO

This caption is full of shit. We had brakes...well, we had A brake. It was only on one side, so when you pulled it, you did a spin into a death roll....but still...we had brakes.

my shoes were my brakes if I recall. much to the dismay of my parents who had to buy shoes often.

Usually it turned out to be your buds that were your brakes as you bowled them the hell over in your Big Wheel/Green Machine.

On one occasion my face was my brake.

Lol.


Wen I first learned to ride my bike, like literally the 3rd time, I crashed. My old man was up on the roof re-roofing ( from the age of 4-13 my old man was doing some sort of renovation) and hollered at me not to ride my bike because the brakes didn't work.

So, naturally I took that as a green light. I back my bike up to coast down the small hill on front of out house. I begin to coast......right in to a "Road closed" sign due to the re-paving. Blammo.


I went " ass over tea kettle" as my dad would say. Split my chin wide open. Gusher etc. has to go to the hospital to get stitches. My dad was pissed that I rode it after telling me not to.

So on the way to the hospital, my old man stopped at one of the "Clark" gas stations for gas and a pack of Kools while I sat in the back seat (no cat seat mind you) with my bloody t-shirt balled up under my chin.


.....the good 'ol days.

This is OUTSTANDING..... Rep.

Actually if you could just make this a GIF, and add a trickle of sweat from his head that runs down his back and glistens in the sun, and then finally a quick tremble of the legs before they buckle and crumple under the force of the hippo sized human siting on his lap. I think that would just say it all.
