we used to have a small gang of kids ranging from 6 to 16 big brothers with little anoying brothers.
I was an anoying little one tagging along.
crab apple wars is one I remember, there were loads if crab apple trees in the village and when they dropped it was amunition for throwing stuff, teams were made up and the day was spent each team stalking the other if caught there was no mercy. I rember getting caught under pallet made table top BMX ramp and getting peppered. there were tears but the next day i wanted to play it even more.
the home made table top was fun too, as soon as you could ride with out stabilizers we could cruise the village under no supervision it was freedom, and home made ramps were soon made jumping over stuff was boring so we graduated to people. I was v proud of my older brother getting the record one day.
my 1st ramp jump ended in nose first crash lots of cuts bruses but lots if fun.
