Now I've seen it all--

PRB

everyone in the city had to have a suaside hill

but what we did .. was called hookieing / kinds the same deal with the freight trains


we would crouch down low when a car made a corner & we would sneak behind it @ grap the bumper & we would get pulled on our boots / if too many kids grapped the same car , we could slow it down til it got stuck or pull it out of control went it went to make the curve ;

Our snow plows were our city garbage trucks & we would do the same thing ,,,but they really gave you a tow .

the guys that did it with shoes un .often would start to go under the truck ,cuz they were going faster than the plow .
the real challange was because we couldn,r see anything ...if & when they hit a dry patch . damn we could take a serious tumble;;

just another day in the city .,.,,
