We also used to play full contact hockey, lacrosse and tackle football without a single piece of protective clothing. Hockey was always played late into the year until we started falling through the ice (pond was only 3 ft deep)I heard a lady in the supermarket telling another lady that soccer is too dangerous for kids.

Hell yeah....I remember when I was in junior high my friend was blocking me (playing football) and he hit me in the face with his forearm and my braces/teeth stuck into his arm, it was pretty nasty looking....good times.We also used to play full contact hockey, lacrosse and tackle football without a single piece of protective clothing.
what's the point of having kids if you can't beat them up once in a while

...so if you want your kid to be content as a derelict...I have a theory that if you take your kids camping and outdoors enough it lowers their expectations and requirements for everything in life. I know people that have barely ever had to sleep somewhere other than a bed. If you spend some time freezing in a tent, dodging pools of water, wearing wet boots and generally having a hilariously crappy/awesome time, a dry couch or the floor doesn't seem so bad. That's my theory, in any case.
Lets not kid ourselves, who doesnt make bombs?I notice a lot of us have put down making bombs...

Given the group here, does that really surprise you?I notice a lot of us have put down making bombs...
I know where you are coming from. I am new to this site but from some of the pitchers i have seen that you posted on the southeast photo thread your doing an exellent job with Noah, man he rips! no doubt to be on the cover of Freeride Illistrated one day. i get the same thing with my four year old daughter. i throw her all over the place and teach her to brush off all the skint knees she get from riding her bike and playing soccer. we camp and hike all the time. Your biulding a relationship and bond with him will go on forever. keep up the good work.i think my kids are going to be ok...but i do fear for some. we have friends who consider us bad parents for letting noah take the risks he does and for the way i throw my girls around in the air.
sweet! i'm sure we'll cross paths soon. i live about 2 minutes from there, literally. maybe an afternoon session tomorrow w/ some of the bmx kids i've been hanging with at the track.i ride salem all the time maybe i'll see ya out there sometime.
the transition of what used to be a perfectly normal after school activity to attract sentiments like"omg he likes to ____, _____ is a symptom of anti-social behavior and it's so dangerous in my mind and it doesn't contribute to a harmonious sophisticated European-style society" happens all too often these days as people became more domesticated. It happens even though the said activities are completely legal, and generations of Americans grow up participating in it and became responsible citizens.Given the group here, does that really surprise you?
ah yes, "rolling" the neighborhood. a select few from my youthgroup at church, when i was a teen, called ourselves the "holly rollers". we were notorious for doing an elegant job of tp'ing someones yard and then leave a sympathy card on their door. we'd usually take around 75-95 rolls of tp to each "job." we'd climb the trees and wrap each limb individually, like a cast.and t.p.ing and ding-dong-ditching never get old
Thanks for the invite, but i'm heading to blowing rock for the day (and no i wont be mtbing) so i'll catch you next time. I normally ride early but i'll have to start hitting it in the afternoon more. are ya'll out there most sunday afternoons?sweet! i'm sure we'll cross paths soon. i live about 2 minutes from there, literally. maybe an afternoon session tomorrow w/ some of the bmx kids i've been hanging with at the track.

More or less...I have been known to sleep in my car on vacations....so if you want your kid to be content as a derelict...
