That ditch surfing post got me thinking about the things we used to do here in the winter for fun.......

Hooky-bobbin' This involves waiting till a car drives by slow enough on a snow covered street that you can dash out and grab the rear bumper. You can hang on for a long time and travel around as long as the driver doesn't see you in the rear view mirror. The main danger and enemy to a hooky bobber? The man hole, they never had snow on them from the warm air of the sewer lines. This resulted in the face plant.

Trolling for dogs. This was presented to a friend as a fun ride on the sled behind your car. You pulled a flexible flyer on a long rope behind the car with your friend on it down the country roads of Idaho until a bunch of mean dogs came out and started chasing the sled. At that time you slowed down just enough so the dogs could catch up, but fast enough so you friend could not jump off. The problem here, getting new a friend to try it on. Most were not to friendly after once or twice. At time this could lead to the secondary game called ice fist fight.

Freeze out. This was a game that could be played by up to six players. It involved a 0 degree night and car. The players would strip to the waist, turn off the heater, and roll all the windows of the car down. You then drove somewhere at about 60 mph. The last guy to put on his shirt and coat was the winner. This usually involved hypothermia and Vodka.

Suprise snowman. This was done on foggy days or nights. On a road side you would roll up the parts of a snow man and wait till a break in the traffic. You and you friends would then run out in the road and stack up the snowman parts in the middle of the traffic pattern. The next car would then hit the suprise snow man. This usually involve running for your life and the making up of good cover stories of where you were at the time of the incedent.

I could go on, but I am not sure of the statute of limitations on winter pranks, and it gets worse from here. Who says winter can't be fun? DC
 
Us country bumpkins didn't have the cars going by to harrass. But we had our fun too...........Whiplash.........tie an aluminum saucer type sled on the end of a 50 ft rope and then on the back of the snowmobile and take off whipping the person on the saucer at 40 mph around a curve..........they would have to hang on for dear life. The last one who didn't have any broken bones and was alive was declared the winner.
 
There is no amusement park that could duplicate those whiplash rides.
