Also made a homemade skateboard out of an old disassembled "shoe skate" (the metal ones that clamped to your shoes.....with the 'key' to tighten them!) Nailed the two halves to the bottom of a board and away I went. Lots of fun til I hit a big crack in a downhill sidewalk - crashed and burned big time! Still have the scar on my elbow.......

Bill,...today the PC crowd wouldn't let their kids play with that stuff,..."it's too dangerous" (said in a whiney voice) .......we had 12 kids in my family,...when I think of some of the stuff we did as kids it's a wonder we all survived, but we did.
