If you did that in today’s world, you would need a special, expensive, “safe” slider, and a helmet, and adult supervision.

Sad. Sad, sad.

I know it is sad. We had such fun back then..this was before the barbwired encasement fences were erected to keep people off the levees.
Another fun thing we used to do, on weekends, is ride down the post office concrete mail truck shute in those huge wheeled canvas bins. The pitch on the shute was steep enough to carry you way into the parking lot! Such simple fun.
