these toys I had back then would not fly with today's parents

we used to make these ourselves and shoot birds with them

hmmm, all that stuff you posted sumo, i had as a kid and still have today hahahaha. i also had a dirt bike and quad but the supersoaker was by far what we did the most damage with. we use to fill it up with gas and stick a burning rag in front of it. good times.
 
Clackers. Responsible for blood and bruises than any other toy I owned.

And I don't know if they still sell these today, but I'm sure most hippie parents would say they're dangerous because of they're small size

your's didn't have a stick? i'd never seen them attached by a ring, mine all had a long stick

Nope, no stick. Mine were probably the illegally imported version purchased at the flea market :ROFL:
 
Anybody remember the Roller Racer? In these days of food allergies, ADD and germaphobes, I don't think this would fly with parents today!

I had a .22 caliber pellet gun. I still have a scar about an inch below my eye where one entered my face and narrowly missed my sinus cavity. It took the doctors 3 hours to dig it out of my face, and they couldn't anesthetize the area because I had to be able to tell them what I was feeling.

I also had a sling shot, blow dart gun with 4" needles, and micro machines, but no lawn darts. I've actually never even seen lawn darts before.

I think Big Wheels were pretty dangerous....Get that thing going down a slope and its a death trap.

Even more dangerous than the big wheel, is it's bigger brother...The THREE WHEELER!!!!!! I still have my old 1980-something honda 250r. It still ran the last time I cranked it, like 5 years ago. lol It is sitting on an old slab with a bunch of car parts behind my dad's house.
