As a kid, what's the craziest shit you ever did?

I think mostly of some of the BMX stunts we did. How I didn't break my neck is a blessing. Broke my collarbone and had a concussion doing that shit but got some awesome air going off our ramps.

We didn't have internet and the video games were in a nascent stage so you had to go outside and create havoc to have fun.

Jumping shit on bikes, Mopeds, mini-bikes, etc was a standard good time.

It's a close call between jumping off the house in various ways onto the trampoline and getting a local SWAT team called on me.

As long as you yell FUCK IT as you jump off the house, you would be a man amongst boys....

The SWAT call is much less exciting than you'd think, but still a fun story. We were like 11 or 12 years old, me and my buddy. We were really into airsoft guns, like to the point we bought a ton of gear from army surplus stores and had some pretty intense wars.

For some dumb reason, we decided to just go waltz around the park behind his house one afternoon with a couple airsoft guns and a camera, taking what we thought would be cool pictures. The pool manager (an OG Karen, who was very familiar with who we were) overreacted just a tad and called 911 about 2 people with rifles in the park.

A buddy of ours came from the pool to tell us she had called the cops on us. By the time we walked across the park back to my buddys house, we were greeted by the town cop, 2 or 3 deputies and 2 or 3 state troopers, all with guns drawn on us. Good thing I was wearing my brown pants.

We heard one of the troopers jump on his radio and tell his dispatch the situation and that the team could stand down.

The rest of the day was spent watching my buddys dad snap airsoft guns over his knee and playing the OG call of duty instead.

As long as you yell FUCK IT as you jump off the house, you would be a man amongst boys....

I'm pretty sure fuck came out of our mouths alot, particularly the time I cleared the back deck from the second story roof, nearly overshot the trampoline and ended up in my mom's rock bed.

My buddy shot a can off my head with his dad's Glock when we were 13.

When my friends and I were 14-15 we would get two cars driving side by side down an empty 2 lane highway at night and we’d take turns crawling through the windows from one car to the other going 50, 70, 90 mph.

Stupid as fuck.

One of my friend’s mom was a model for Gordmans. Actually, the mom and my friend’s two sisters all modeled.

One day a couple of us hid in one of her bedroom closets to watch her change clothes. Had the patience of a sniper, but the wait was worth it. Never spoke about it until now. Was probably 10 at the time.

Did plenty of motorcycle stupid stuff. Never wore a helmet.

Not crazy but fairly stupid:

We used to load up in my friends suburban and we would drive out into a pasture at night and chase rabbits and any other animals we saw

We would be flying around that field going 50 mph, we would hit a bump and we would all fly out of our seats

It was hilarious but none of us were wearing seat belts and we could have flipped that vehicle at any time

When I was 7 I stole the neighbors power wheel and took it down town to do mains.

One time when me and my brother were young we had a pretty good rain at the farm. It started off pretty innocent, tromping through the running water in our rain boots. But we just kept following all the water flowing through the cow lots into the pasture down to the creek. Well we thought it was a good idea to start swimming in the overflowing creek that was rushing from heavy rains. Not our smartest move.
PS. When dad found us and what we were doing he chewed our ass and chased us all the way back to the house on the 4 wheeler, as in pushing us like cattle as we tried to run in soaked clothes and rubber boots filled with water, that run was not very fun.

2 real dumb things come to my mind.

1) when i was 7 years old we got an old snowmobile and me and my older brother (11) used to ride that thing all the time. one time instead of pulling the sled around, i just hung on directly to the back of it and he just drug me around the pasture

2) tried to drink milk straight from the cow

The craziest thing I ever did was break into a school to steal ice cream out of the teacher's lounge.

Being in a small town we used to get into the school at night and walk in with a couple 30s and put it in the ice machine, we’d shoot hoops, fuck around in class rooms, etc. Luckily security in the schools wasn’t as crazy as it is now.

Also took a school bus joy riding once

9th Grade - 5th of July - The Empty National Guard parking lot behind my house in Fremont

Put all remaining fireworks and stashed stuff from previous years from me and 3 buddies into a giant cardboard box. Couple Couldn't figure out how to light them all...so...

Put 3 Gallon-sized ziplocks filled with gasoline at the bottom THEN put the fireworks in. Threw in a 4th bag of 5w30 oil just to see what that did.

We stood 15 feet away and shot roman candles at the box until it lit. And it eventually LIT

Artillery shells out of the tube started exploding, Happiness fountains galore, bottle rockets shooting out at us, thousands of firecrackers - hilarious scene

But then the cardboard boxes we used kept BURNING and BURNING, then the remainders of the firework enclosures, and we had a 10-12' flame in the National Guard Lot. And that flame was BLACK from the oil in the ziplock, and it was bellowing smoke. The sound of fire trucks from a distance - the sound of cop cars speeding to the scene. We busted it across the lot, hopped the ditch, and sat on my back deck covered by the trees of our yard while we watched these first responders deal with it, puzzled as could be.

Not real proud of this, but in 8th grade (mid 90s)I found out you could go into dillards or penny's at gateway in Lincoln, grab like 20 items, try them on, then wear half of it out under my oversized hoodie and jeans, and no one noticed or seemed to care. I then started to sell the clothes to my friends for cheap, like $.50 on the dollar. All profit. Never got caught, but I eventually got a job and decided I liked having money without the risk of getting arrested.
