The gear shifter was a game changer!

We used to race mini-bikes in the alley, in South Central Los Angeles. No helmets, no elbow pads, and no boots. Just levis (or tough skins), t-shirts, and Chuck Taylors.

If you fell, we laughed. But you got your ass up, and you got on that bitch again and rode some more. If you were bleeding, someone's Mom would put "Mercurochrome" on the wound and you kept it moving.
does anyone still use that???

Agreed. My older cousin had a pretty cool set-up as an early teen. Back at his childhood home his parents let him set up a games room in the basement. It had movie and music posters, a car race track, and a train set. Sort of like an early version of a man cave, minus the TV & videogames.

On a cool side note ... he has 3 kids of his own now. 2 boys (6 and 9yo) and a daughter who is 13. All 3 of them love Disney movies ... so their little games room is set up upstairs next to their bedrooms. It's got all types of kids movies, and a small tv with the retro old Nintendo console from the 80s. Played a few games with them back in December. It was like stepping back in time, as they aren't up on new gaming consoles, etc. Told them some funny stories about growing up in the 80s and 90s, and all the good times with Nintendo and Sega Genesis.

What about that "Hide and Go Get It." We'd all get together girls and boys. The boys would stand in a circle, close our eyes, and count to 100 by 5's while the girls hid. When we hit 100, we'd all run around the neighborhood trying to find a girl. If you found one, you could grind on her, play with her titties etc...

I remember my cousin Anthony (he was three years older than me) found a girl named April. He told me to come here. I went, and he had April pinned against the side of someone's house. Her titties was outside of her blouse. I would have just squeezed them through the blouse, but Ant had them shits out playing with them. He stepped back, looked at me and said, Here." I started squeezing them, I was all timid and shit. He said, "Nigga suck'em!." He didn't have to tell me twice. I'll never forget that shit!

Ant didn't give a fuck... He was hard on them then, and he's still hard on them. LOLOL. My Big Cousin.

I remember stickball with the broom handle bat and blue handball ball. You played in the middle of the street or on the painted box on a wall in your school yard or park. No pool nearby, you crack open your nearest fire hydrant.

Huddled together with your friends over the turntable listening to Richard Pryor, hoping you Moms didn't burst in.
Bruh, don't forget the Dolemite Album covers. He had them thick thoroughbreds on the cover.
