That was my fav. toy as a kid.
We used to crank that thing like a sob, launch it off of a porch, into a pool, you name it. I always think of that toy now and then, one of the best I ever had.
We used to set plywood on blocks and launch ourselves on our bikes. Much damage, to bikes and bodies. Friend of ours got a new ten speed, he decided to launch it of the ramp(kid was nuts). We were like 'a ten speed? never thought of that...do it!!'.
He had us set it as steep as we could. He comes flying down the street and launches. Now I don't know how high he got, but it was the highest I ever saw at the time. When he landed the rims just crumbled and he and the bike flipped a few times. The ramp lanched into our yard, so he landed in grass, no broken bones but a bloody nose and bruises. The rims were mangled. I remember it to this day
Knievel had nothin on Al
