I should mention the good one I did when I was 12.

I was building this fort out of an old 5ft high wooden canoe rack. When it came to me building a roof I put logs on top to temporarilly keep the rubber roof in place. One day, I decided to nail down the roof and as I was doing that, I was standing on one of the logs. One moment I felt the log starting to roll under me, then the other moment I was falling flat on to my back with this 8lb log hitting right square on the chest.

For about a minute I couln't speak. When I think back about it today, I still LMAO.

Building a 20ft high tree house floor out of old 1x4 boards.....one momment the three of us are pounding away, the next momment we are on the ground stunned, dazed with our the wind knocked out of us and our butts and backs hurting....we all slowly limped away from that project.

Bike racing down a very steep hill throught the trees....hard on the knuckles and the fence at the bottom catches you just like those nets on the aircraft carriers.

Jumping the dugout with dirtbikes.

Homemade darts from bike spokes,etc....you can throw them like a baseball a hundred yards...and you need a vise grips to pull them out....

The mother of all slingshots....wired to a post...required two guys to pull each other and it back....could fire a baseball size rock across the yard towards the other buildings and equipment.......

Gasoline fire trails.....

To name a few.

When I was about 12 a friend and I took 5 gallons of gas to the top of a hill on a local highway that was dished out from the heavy trucks. We poured the gas in the rut so it ran down the hill for about 1/2 a mile or so then when the headlights came the flames would race the car down the hill!

I had a 30 lb recurve bow, when I was six I was shooting at a target I had made from a box. The wind kept blowing the box over so I suggested that my younger brother hold it up. Then I accidently shot him square in the crotch, a six year old can only draw a bow back so far and he was wearing jeans so there was no penetration, thank goodness he was not wearing sweatpants.

Another stupid thing we would do when there was a group of us was shoot arrows straight into the air, sort of a russian roulet game. It was all fun and games as long as you could see the arrow but the pure fear and suspense that we felt while we waited with our hearts in our throats for an arrow we had lost sight of to land...

slab · #39 03-23-2011, 06:25 PM

My brother and i had lots of fun we chased after each other with knifes , lit those tiny bbq and put bit over our heads and marched around well did a lot of things with fire lets leave it there just amazed we never burnt down anything, when i was 5 all the kids in complexed and i would play a game to see who could keep there hand with a glove on in burn hot tar the longest, we would tie sheets to our bed and climb out the window 4 storys up was awsome till sheets rip. We also folded our selves in to hid a beds and lots more i swear we were in the hospital atleast once a week, they knew us by name

bowhunter9841 · #40 03-23-2011, 06:40 PM

I once went down a mountain road on roller blades, no brake on my blades, woke up in the hospital with a pretty good concussion!
And a couple years back, I was doing some work on a condo complex, and rather than, move the ladder to the second house to go check out the roof, I just jumped from roof to roof! Only about 8 feet apart, but it was still pretty crazy!

Parasailing behind a vehicle? Bought just the chute from gi joes. Bought 200' of just 1/4" rope. Ran it from every eyelit on the chute to a caribeaner. Hooked the caribeaner to another rope, then ran another 150' rope to the the hitch of my truck. The worst part about it all was the landing. Trucks dont stop right away, and you got dragged the 10-15ft on the ground once you land, and in a stubble field, its brutalllll.

6" Tractor tire and 300' steeep hill with partner on the other side inside. The first 2 revolutions were good, after that, it got wayyyyy to fast, and started bouncing. Which eventually led to one big bounce with us two getting pile driven into the ground and getting minor concussions.

So.... there's something alot of you never would have guessed after all these years together.

Yes, I've lived a life of trial and erorr.

Ok, just thinking of it all; I'm off to the Chiropractor.

I think this one takes the cake.

plinker · #44 03-24-2011, 04:46 PM

A couple more I thought of.

Entertainment for a whole day or until you got kicked out. Put 10 cents in dryer at the laundromat and spin around till you were ready to barf. Then the next guy goes in.

The old style pop cans were made heavy duty (1970's) You cut the ends off and duck taped the cans together usually about 4 cans, cut a small hole close to the end (which you kept sealed) and poured some gasoline into it. Then you put a tennis ball into the homemade bazooka you now had and dropped a match into the small hole. Flaming tennis ball. LMAO

Jumped off a car bridge in Montreal that took 9 seconds to hit the water. That hurt, so every year we would try to invent a better way and would get trashed every time.

I hate to say this but after reading this thread I'm thinking there are a lot of us on this board that were trying out for the Darwin Awards.

Don't know how to imbed. This is something me and my friends did, not long ago it seems.

Travelled with a friend to Africa to film him shooting a man killing elephant with a bow.... and made it back home!!!!

sparky660 · #47 03-24-2011, 08:14 PM

Starting a fire, throw in an either, paint or cleaner can and shoot it with a .22.

If any of you are familiar with antique threshing machines you will know that the straw pile would be quite high. One summer a friend of mine and myself thought that is would be a good idea to smoke on top of this straw pile in the middle of summer. Needless to say the straw pile didn't survive the night. You could see the flames from a couple of miles away.

I game where one guy rode his 80 cc honda motorbike and we would try and throw hockey sticks in his front or rear spokes to stop him. It was all fun and games until we actually got a successful spear through the front spokes. The guy flipped the bike end for end and broke his arm.

Buddies & I wondered what would happen if you dropped a match into the gas tank of a vehicle. Three fire trucks, two cop cars & a change of underwear later ...... we had the answer !!! I can still remember standing behind mom & dads house watching the smoke plume rise into the air, and realizing that I was destined to be grounded for a long, long time.

This seriously made me LMAO

Ive rode my new 10 speed down a steep hill at the end of our alley that i KNEW led directly, and blindly i might add, into traffic at about 50km/hr.....not proud to say i did that more than once. Usually when a girl was watching.

Get bored playing street hockey so my buddy would lob golfball sized rocks in the air and id pick em outta the air with my old easton in a happy gilmore style swing hoping to never find out where they landed. Again not proud LOL

More times than i can count shot at things around the farm that could bounce a pellet back at you faster than you could react. Always would just shrug and laugh saying "that was close!" Ralphie did alright...figured id survive haha

Trying to keep with a buddies dirt bike on an old beat up yamaha atv and forget to take it outta 4x4.....those things dont like to corner at 45km/hr in 4x4....up on two wheels, steer it back onto two wheels and the resulting suspension slam sends all 100lbs of me off into the trees and the quad roaring down the trail unmanned for about a 100 yards. First time wearing my new helmet and there is still lumber embedded in it. I keep it around to show the kids what CAN happen. helmet saved my skin no doubt. Still ended up with a concussion. Skinned my chin on some bark and still have a nasty scar i keep a beard to cover. Broke my hand and bit both sides of my tongue off (about 1/8" each side).

I could go on all day but those are some of the most memorable ones for me.

Some friends were moving across town with a car, they put the bed on the roof of the car and did'nt have any rope, so buddy lies on top the the bed thats on top the roof of the car and hangs on to each window frame and off they go. It was fine at slow speed but once they got on to the highway and up to the speed limit, the bed wanted to fly off and buddy had a very hard time hanging on. I sure laughed when they told me that one.

Funny as he#$, my buddy and I played russian roulet with our Bows !! Same thing, fire it in the air and whoever let the arrow land the closest would win.

Kodiak · #54 03-25-2011, 08:14 PM

We all were nuts I see......

Pellet gun fights

Tractor tubes in stubble fields - behind skidoos and 4 x 4's - 5 guys fighting to throw someone in the hole (ever get stubble rash - hurts like hell )

Doubling and wheelying down Big Lake Road on a YZ 250 for 8 miles meeting traffic

Doubling and wheelying down a cutline on a YZ 250 while the passenger has two armfulls of tent pegs under his arms ( just got reminded of this after 30 years )

Fire extinguisher fight in Dad's garage, still hearing about that one

Pulling a 5wheel ( plastic ) with a 50 ft rope behind dirt bike ( all was ok until the puller cut a short corner at 40 MPH around trees, I was the frikkin rider )

Tying up the block heater cord after school to the emblem on the hood of an old dodge rambler at 70 MPH on HWY 37...out of the passenger seat from the window.

And it could go on, but I'm getting twitchey........

My Grandfather had one of those Aluminum hoppers for the bottom of the grain auger. You want to go crazy fast down a river hill this is your ride. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation saucer had nothing on our hopper. All fun and games until someone darn near lost an eye and busted his glasses. After that Grandpa was no longer in charge of the toboggan parties.
