Ive got little scars all over my hands and arms and legs. My shins are so dented in. I can crack every joint in my body with the exception of one. All these things are from doing stuff as a kid.

We used to pull each other on GT snow racers on gravel behind bikes. We used to get 25 kids with pellet guns and run amuck in the woods for 8 hour stints. We used to ride our dirt bikes for so long that we would run out of gas and have to push them 10km back home.

Climbing trees, going on random adventures, going fishing, making forts, tree houses and all that stuff dont exist anymore. I had 3 channels on my TV when I was a kid. Now my dad has an amazing 20, but still most of it is fuzzy or blurry. Thats what I grew up with.

When I was 6 years old I started to drive the tractor with my dad. By 7 I was driving it on my own. Im not talking lawn mower Im talking full on tractor with front end loader. Ive had like 8 field cars which I drove from age 8-15 just smashing into shit in the fields.

We need to give all kids a sling shot, $5 and set them out on a friday and tell them to be back by Sunday.
