For the record - I didn't do this.
So Liquid, off the record, how did you do that??🤣
:lol: I actually didn't do this. That would be my old man again. That's a creek in his back yard (which turns into the Ohio River during rain/melts). He likes to drive in it and push rocks and sh*t around. Change the stream. He didn't have a good explanation as to how this happened. I don't ask too many questions. He's incredibly dangerous. Take a close look at thing. It's not gently used.

It is. Plopped it up top. Plugs into the cigarette lighter. For use in night time romps. I'll find some other shots.

It's usually bent back facing the sky because of low hangers. :lol:

That's good stuff right there! I used to pull my kids on a saucer behind the 4 wheelers.

Okay, storytime...

Some of you already know one of my oars is a little shorter on one side than it is on the other, so this probably won't come as any surprise. Years ago for a short season (kinda like the fidget spinner season) they made these things called grass skis. They were about 3 or 4 feet long, with rollers and a rubber belt all the way around. The idea was to be able to, you guessed it, ski down a grassy slope. There's a big difference in falling on a grassy slope with rocks and crap sticking out then there is falling in the snow on a mountain side somewhere.

Anyway, I guess I never got that memo because I came up with what I thought was a great idea. Remember the commercial with the guys skiing on a river behind a horse? My brother and I used to do that all the time with four-wheelers on the river. We could go for a couple hundred yards, sometimes further before someone crashed. It was great fun!

So I get the idea of using a four-wheeler to pull me on my grass skies. At first it was pretty fun and worked fairly well. But then we got up to a pretty good speed and I crashed big time ass over teakettle. Needless to say, the grass skis were short-lived.

And nowadays kids ride those little pew pew bicycles with helmets on.

It’s a wonder how we survived 🤣.
It was more fun being a kid back in our day!
As a 10 year old, I had this Honda 50 mini bike. After school, my friends and I used to get that thing up to top speed on th road, turn into my parents long driveway and hit a mound of dirt that acted like a ramp and see who could jump the farthest. You know, no helmet, no brains either 😀.
That old Honda must have flown 100 miles, and never broke..
