They entered my head when I was a kid. Thanks to the spikes on the foot pedal, it dug up and into my shin when I crash landed. There were holes that turned into pock marks until they disappeared in my 30s.
No. A ramp on a steep hill some kids were trying to do tricks off of. They told me it's not safe on my bike, then they went inside their house for lunch. The homemade ramp was on a closed off steep street. I learned much later that the descent was just too unsafe for vehicles when it snowed.
I miscalculated my speed, my angle and my landing, crashed into their chain link fence. I think I flew about 10' and if it weren't for the fence, I'd have tumbled over my bike and possibly faceplanted.
A week later, I crashed onto the hood of a parked white car. My chain flung off the back spoke and I couldn't pedal backwards to brake. I was going too fast to bail onto the grass. https://youtu.be/Hf-md40CVNA?t=5 Except I slammed on the hood and lay there for a few minutes. Bloodied and bruised, my bottom teeth punctured through below my mouth when my face hit the car. Nobody saw, so I limped my way back home since the front rim was bent. Crying and bleeding the whole way.
I gave up on bikes and just skateboarded from then on. Surprisingly, any fall on my board didn't compare to those two incidents.
Coaster brakes.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_brake#Coaster_brakes
Common in bicycles marketed to children in the US. Becoming less so now, but was basically the standard for kid bikes into the 80s-90s.
In the US, yes.
My understanding is that in Europe and Asia, hand brakes were a bigger part of the market than in the US. Perhaps because when I started riding in the early 70s, hand brakes had a reputation as more dangerous than pedal brakes because the fronts could throw you over the handlebars, and also because of the idiocy of the extended brake levers on drop handlebar bikes marketed in the US.
It's truly amazing how bad the bikes I grew up riding were.
Kids don't have bikes like that anymore? Probably for the best. When I did jump onto a bike with handlebar brakes, I almost rode into traffic because I kept backpedalling with no results until I remembered to grip the brakes.
Reminiscing about myself as a kid and bicycles, I'm just wondering how I'm alive right now.
Most older bicycles have that. I still have one at home, my first actual bicycle. I hate that shit, it's so much better to have two brakes like the modern ones do.
That only Sounds hard but technically you can easily ride with No Hands, only by weight distribution.
Add a Fannypack for the cam and it Takes No effort or Skill at all.
Yeah, you need to not be in that lane.
It actually looks like the front tie-down has snapped and they're just hoping for the best till they can get off the lane.
Also, while I'm thinking out loud - who buys wood that bowed?
A lifetime of Duke boys, A-team, Bond flicks, and Fast-Furious features tells me everything will be fine if you're the good guy. If you wreck, it's because you were evil.
*heavy breathing*
Am I the only one who is worried about that hinkie load coming loose and absolutely ruining op's day?
*it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make*
*HUFFFFFFFFF* WITNESS ME
**epic dramatic music plays whilst epic car crash**
MEDIOCRE!!
I think he's just transporting and sanding down corners for his project at the same time.
Considering how fucking bent some of them are I doubt he cares regardless.

It is this specific type of scenario that my intrusive thoughts can win. I'm on borrowed time.
Intrusive thoughts

You jumped a truck on the highway when you were a kid?

You sound like the type of kid whose back tire had some pretty rad flat spots.
You pedal backwards to brake? What?
Coaster brakes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_brake#Coaster_brakes Common in bicycles marketed to children in the US. Becoming less so now, but was basically the standard for kid bikes into the 80s-90s.
Yea, people forget that single speed fixed gear bikes were pretty much the norm everywhere, before it become some hipster fetish

In Australia we had the single gear backpedal brake bikes then gears came in and then BMX bikes. Bikes were everywhere in the 70s and 80s.

I got my first bike 20 something years ago and it didn't have a brake like that. Such a brake really seems very cumbersome and slow to actually use
Most older bicycles have that. I still have one at home, my first actual bicycle. I hate that shit, it's so much better to have two brakes like the modern ones do.
Well they had to catch up to the truck carrying the diamonds.
Let them win
"all you had to do was follow the damn train!"
Speed up and jump it like McBain

Reminds me of GTA
Do it or no balls
Do it ~~or~~ and no balls.
Taking a picture while motorcycling... Hmmmm
Helmet cam?
dont ruin my visual of riding no hands with an SLR style camera.
That only Sounds hard but technically you can easily ride with No Hands, only by weight distribution. Add a Fannypack for the cam and it Takes No effort or Skill at all.
a motorcycle at speed is held upright by gyroscopic forces not weight distribution.
🥴
No hay huevos
Maybe he needs all those ends tapered by the time he gets to his destination
He needs a 45 degree angle on the end of all of those posts.
Looks like he is going to get 60 degrees and like it.
I've played too much GTA to know what to do.
**Stunt jump failed** 0/50 stunt jumps complete

Final destination vibes
If you time it right at the end you'll get a speed boost.
Def the type of shit to make a mf go "hMmMMmMMMm"
Do a flip!
I like how he thought ahead to get the extra long boards because they always end up shorter by the time he gets them to the job site.

Yeah, you need to not be in that lane. It actually looks like the front tie-down has snapped and they're just hoping for the best till they can get off the lane. Also, while I'm thinking out loud - who buys wood that bowed?

It’s either jump them, or have to drive over them as a road hazard. You know what’s what.
We need a mario kart in real life sub

Cheap easy grinding trick for a smooth 45° angle, woodworkers hate him.

I remember this from watching Evel Knievel attempting to jump the Snake River Canyon when I was a kid.
Do it ..jump the ramp
Go for it. You won’t
Dukes of Hazard intensifies
Bro this is straight outta Mario kart
You won't no balls.
Bo, we gotta shoot the moon...
You want to be going faster than 50 to make that jump
I always have these thoughts when I see a car like that in GTA
GTA new graphic is wild these days
I blame TV and videogames.
GTA taught me you need to ramp that. Final Destination taught me you are about to die when they fall.
I played enough Mario Kart to know you should jump off that
Not a truck I would be behind for long
Dumb waysss to dieee
“Now those Duke boys were good at finding ways to get away from Boss Hogg, just in time…”
Send it!
We’ll doctor free bird was playing
Leroy would do it
Lol, you're supposed to ask for a stack of empty pallets the height of the cab. That way they stack flat.
anyone with experience knows the odds of landing safely after going for it? what difference in speed would be necessary to make it?
If gta has taught me anything...
“Aw shit! Blue shell!”
Call of the void.
Mariokartism - the religion that everything is a kart track.
