Never seen this camera angle before. Pretty cool.

Pretty sure I have a couple of broken bones just from watching that.

That brought back some memories - I'm pretty sure mine was a knock-off of the Schwinn Sting Ray, but I loved it just the same and it crashed just as well as the genuine article. I remember the burning lust I had for one of the Orange Krate/Lemon Peeler models, but those seemed impossibly expensive at the time. To (over) compensate, my next door neighbor Bob and I got our hands on some one-inch plumbing pipe or conduit, "borrowed" his dad's hacksaw & drill and, after smashing the one end of two tubes flat & drilling a hole for the axle, then jamming the open ends over the empty forks, we rode all over the neighborhood on our new "choppers." It was stupid, didn't work well, lasted for a couple of days, but we had fun and nobody died.

There's a lot from that era that I'm glad went unrecorded, but I wish I had a picture of that...
