stevewin Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 - Strret Football - Street Hockey - Kickball - 'Demolition Derby' and 'Chicken' on bikes - Haen't seen anyone mention in the winter when you grab the back of a car's bumber and go for a ride - I think some people call it 'bumper surfing' - we used to call it 'boogeying' (I have no idea why) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuckincincy Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Peashooter Wars. When split peas were abandoned for the much harder-hitting, far-ranging Navy bean, it was like going from conventional to nuclear. Empty cigarette packs were prized - if you stepped on a Luckies pack, you proclaimed "Lucky Strikes, No Strikes Back !!!" and you got a free slug on your pal's shoulder. There were also Salem Slaps, Kent Kicks and so on. Also mass snowball attacks on cars and especially NFT buses. These days, they would call out the SWAT team...

We played a lot of kick ball and baseball too. (many windows lost) We also played a lot of hide and seek at night. Me and my girlfriend would never get found... Oh and the bumper surfing thing. We just called them bumper rides and we did it every winter, along with massive snowball fights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we were young teens we used to hide at night and bomb cars with snowballs. The only problem was we couldn't see anything but headlights. We nailed the sh-- out of a NY state trooper one night and his lights came on quick. We took off into the woods with him giving chase too but he never got any of us. Good times man, good times.

olivier in france Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Souvenirs.... Lot of street soccer, some tennis too, we used to make our street tennis tournament during the French Open we played on the empty plaza when there was the farmers' market each monday... Bike races all around the country roads around our village We built some trolleys-cars with old bike wheels and wood that we drove down the road from the big hill behind my house We built cabins in the woods and made big "knight wars" with wooden swords and shields. our "castle" was in the middle of a big oak... When we had the luck to have some snow: big snowball fights and luge down the hill In the summer we went down the river and built some "dams", threw rocks and played in the cold water ... that drove the trout fishermen nuts !!!
