Streetplay Discussion Archive Posted on May 4, 1999 by Streetplay DiscussionsNovember 14, 2014

I actually found a pair of skates at a flea market and my brother came up with a skate key. I am still looking for the big clamps. Wasnt it annoying when your skate came off and the strap was still around your ankle. You had to drag over to a bench or some place to sit to fix it.

On the lower east side we also used to stand on the swings and “pump”. Another thing was to “take someone up” where one would sit and the other one would stand and pump. I was a chicken so I usually was the one sitting, with my eyes closed. We called them sliding ponds too. How about the wooden see-saws?

We also used to tie both ends of a long Balloon to the fork of the Bike for a deeper sound.. Harley-like.. Surprisingly the balloons held up for a while.. Thats something to show your kids today..

Streetplay Discussion Archive Posted on May 4, 1999 by Streetplay DiscussionsMay 4, 1999

My best bike memory is putting baseball cards held on with clothespins on the spokes of my wheels. What a sound! Only problem was I wasn’t allowed to ride around too early on Sunday mornings, ’cause I’d wake the neighbors!

Remember those old kites, made of that cheap paper. I had an America Flag one – great flyer, lasted for a few sessions till it got caught in a tree and ripped up.

Streetplay Discussion Archive Posted on May 3, 1999 by Streetplay DiscussionsMay 3, 1999

Deprived of real fishnet stockings! I wanted fishnet stockings so bad in the 60’s. So when my mother finally bought me a pair but they were not real fishnets! I don’t know where she found these but they were white with some type of opaque material over the fishnets! My mother had a knack for finding stuff that just wasn’t quite cool! The same thing happened with bell bottoms. When my mother bought me a pair they had big orange flowers on them and were horrible! I tried to dye them black but those big orange flowers came thru the dye!
