And if a car driver over-reacts, jerks the wheel or locks up the brakes and runs you over, expect no sympathy plus a bill for cleaning your blood off of his bumper.
Dumb trick.
Except notice how there is a curve right before where the stunt takes place? Not too much speed built up there. We did the same thing. And of course no motor cycles, ever... geeze c'mon man.
Now all kids who see this arent going to be smart and do it in a potentially harm-reduced way, granted. Those other kids will be out experimenting with drugs, stealing cars, drinking and driving, breaking into houses, and joining street gangs. No need to worry about THOSe kids playing pranks on you.
What concerns me most, and did even then, were the drivers who DIDNT notice you, and DIDNT slow down or be cautious. Think you have more to fear from the cell-phone zombies and oblivious drivers than you do those punks.
I put this at about the "mid-western church youth group attendee" level of deviance.
