The craziest, stupid thing I did as a kid was...

Let's hear it! What were the craziest, stupidest things you did as a kid?

I was more grounded when a kid but i remember in my late teens, early 20's i was a bit bent in the head lol. Some friends of mine lived on a long, dark country road and they wanted to drag race. For some reason, i jumped on the trunk of the one car and there i went for the ride...sideways...till they reached the end and a stop sign ripped me off the car lol.

Using a large mayonnaise jar, two large tubes of Daisy "Golden Bullseye" BBs (1000 total?), and a M-80 firecracker, we "built" a crude (and extremely dangerous) underwater bomb. Poured the BBs in the jar, light the M-80, dropped it in the jar, screwed on the lid, and threw it into a small farm pond. It went off looking like a depth charge in an old WWII movie, spraying water, glass, and BBs in all directions. Fortunately none of us got hurt, but we did do in a number of fish, including a massive carp.

Where to start?
Jumping 3wheelers? Car surfing? Diving into rock quarries? BB gun wars...still have a BBQ in my left forearm...you can feel it...lol! Grandpa teaching me to use dynamite? Doing stealth missions at Jamestown and climbing on the boats and hanging out? Drinking and going streaking?
The list is long and the stupidity is strong with me!

You guys make me glad I had a daughter lol.
driving too fast on dirt roads and drinking. I wouldn’t make those choices today.

Swimming off a point at a very dangerous beach to body surf about 1km back to the beach. I nearly drowned but was saved by a board rider at the very last moment. It wasn't my time and I strongly believe if it is, nothing will save you.

Drunk back road hill hopping! We bottomed out my buddies renult car. The whole exhaust fell off!

Soaked our buddies tires with armoral and convinced him to do a burn out. He ended up in a ditch across the street...lol.
Armoral on your buddies motorcycle seat makes hard stops fun. Also flipping the license plate upside down so they get pulled over was another classic!
Drunk football in a park with a brick. Im missing a tooth from that one!

Bored one day four of us loaded my buddy's mom's riding lawn mower on the back of the truck and took it to a gravel pit. I rode the mower up the highest hill and got stuck at the very top, about four feet from one of the guys. "Put it in reverse quickly then back into forward!" Yep. Down the hill i went in spectacular backwards fashion. After it flipped over and i fell off, every roll i saw the mower not far behind me. Once i reached the bottom, i rolled off to the side just as it crashed past me and into a large mud puddle. Before loading it back on the truck, my buddy backed his truck into it. Can't believe his mom didn't skin us alive when she found out. It never quite rode the same after that.

One of the times i was almost done in we were canoeing. At one bend of the river, there was a large tree that came down spanning a good portion of it. We pulled up sideways against it and had to hold on as the current was pretty strong. I decided to break the #1 rule and tried climbing out of the canoe and onto the tree. The canoe tilted over and next thing i knew i was sucked under the tree and got tangled in the submerged branches. I don't know how i managed to get free, not drown and surface beyond the tree.
