Sliding off a Roof
What do think the pitch of that roof is?

Turn up the volume and enjoy the music.

Re: Sliding off a Roof
I's day that slope is an 8/12.

Re: Sliding off a Roof
I'm wondering how much of an butt kicking they'll get when their parents turn on the news... a clip of that was on my local news last night....

That's a great sign of the times... kids still being kids but with a digital video camera, editing program and 'internet theater'

The best part is the kid that comes in an high-fives the first guy down... he's got his arm in a sling... big surprise

Re: Sliding off a Roof
Not much different than most of us did as kids, just more high tech way of bragging about it. How many small town water towers have been painted by high school seniors, etc?
I got my thrills with motorcycles, cars, and Friday night football.

Re: Sliding off a Roof
Has there ever been a time when kids listen to the music that their parents grew up with? My girls listen to all kinds of stuff from the 60's and 70's.

Forrest said it best: "Stupid is as stupid does"

I hate to admit it, but I did some pretty stupid things when I was a teenager.

I can agree with you there Jim! There are numerous bridges here, Davie Boulevard and 17th Street Causeway to name a couple, that have my footprints on them. A couple of others in almost every one of the Florida Keys too!

There are a few smaller bridges that we used to jump our bikes off of. Good thing the group I hung around with all worked on bicycles. Salt water does wonderful things to moving metal parts!

Re: Sliding off a Roof
I hope my kids don't see this clip because they will build one when I'm not home.
