Lets Hear Your Bold Kid Stunts
Growing up Irish Catholic I was considered a demon from hell, it's a miracle my mother can still think.
Playing baseball in 3rd grade I fouled the ball threw a warehouse window. The rest of the kids laughed and said I was going to be in big trouble. I just said, "if you think that was funny, check this out" then I took the bat and broke all the frickin windows out of the warehouse. Anybody top that?...lets hear some good ones. Bob

Re: Lets Hear Your Bold Kid Stunts
I am also Irish Catholic and I was always doing dumb **** when I was young.
I have numerous stunts I have done. Lets see: Had a buddy of mine let him shave his hand in my hair on my head. Me and my best friend built a 30' ramp to ride down on our bicycles and we built a 12' tall jump and I decided to jump it well I came down and broke my ankle in 3 places.

Re: Lets Hear Your Bold Kid Stunts
I had a Yamaha 100cc Enduro with a Bassani expansion chamber and 50 square miles of North Carolina sand hills to ride in at the age of 12. I have done stupider things since, but never so many so quickly.

Re: Lets Hear Your Bold Kid Stunts
Italian Catholic.
When we were 10 years old the movie " The Great Escape" came out. Everyone was trying to jump things like Steve McQueen in the movie. Well I got a better idea I started a tunnel from under our homes large front porch straight down 6' then headed towards the neighbors house 106' away. My plan was to go up to their foundation cut through, take something out and put it on their front porch one night. Only got about 50' before the prison camp guards got me. Nick |

Re: Lets Hear Your Bold Kid Stunts
I learned early on that 22's were rimfires. Hitting them with a hammer on an anvil was great fun until the missed hit. I finally hit one flat causing the brass to explode, picking brass out of ones self is not fun.
We had a rope swing tied to the I-95 bridge across New River in Ft. Laud. Great swing! You could make a great arc. I came up with the idea of seeing who could get closest to the boat at the end. Guess who won? I slammed into the side of a Boston Whaler at warp speed, it knocked me out and I almost drowned. Motocross racing, everybody was braking for a ditch and the dirt was piling up. Mr. Bright Guy decides to use it for a ramp. I still don't know what went wrong but I woke up in the back of a meatwagon for the 3rd time. I quit racing shortly thereafter. I've got a thousand of them.

Re: Lets Hear Your Bold Kid Stunts
3 years old when we were living in Kansas I grabbed a croquet mallet out of our garage and proceeded to walk down the block smashing the glass covers to every electric meter so I could turn the dials. We were new to the neighborhood and I don't think the parents appreciated my innovative approach to "meeting the new neighbors".
13 years old living in panama our football team made it to the atlantic side vs pacific side game where I got in their bus started it up and drove it back to the atlantic side instead of riding in our own, and left their team stranded after a night time game. the list goes on...

Re: Lets Hear Your Bold Kid Stunts
I am still doing stupid stuff. Probably the best was the homemade parachute I was about 12 years old. Did not work hurt like He11.

Re: Lets Hear Your Bold Kid Stunts
When I was about ten, my uncle came to visit us at our cottage on Lake Winnipeg. He brought his Catamaran and took us out for a ride. I was so impressed that I built my own with two styrofoam surfboards held together with 1 x 4's, an old curtain rod for a mast and one of those great big orange garbage bags cut open for the sail. Oh yeah and a little homemade paddle as a rudder.
My Dad put it on top of his car and took me to the beach. He thought I would doodle around maybe 20 - 30' from the shore (no worries). But that day there was a heavy offshore wind. I put the thing in the water, the sail filled up, and within about 5 minutes I was a mile away from shore jumping waves. My Dad ended up paying a guy with a boat to drive out and get me. I was crapping my shorts (and I'm sure my Dad was too). When they got to me I was holding on for dear life !!!

Re: Lets Hear Your Bold Kid Stunts
I was the only child and only grandchild so my "mischief" over the years could fill a book. If I had to single out one.. I'd say third grade when I took my father's "Miss July" to school and had my own anatomy lesson with two classmates behind the bookrack.
Ken will probably chime in that I'm still just as spoiled and in trouble now at 37 as I was back then. lol
