Anyone ever have one of these?

Anyone ever have one of these?

is that a laser disc?

[MuscleInk]

is that a laser disc?

Yes sir. Slide the plastic sleeve into the player and the disc is removed and played. When half the movie is watched, remove disc with plastic sleeve, flip over, reinsert, and watch the rest of the movie. Happiest day in the house for my dad when he bought this thing. Didn't last long though. I believe shortly after that, the BETA tape players came out!

Hell ya we had one of these. I can still picture the 2 movies we had for it but forget the names. I have often told people about the big disks we had when i was a kid and they all thought i was nuts. Lol

[Igifuno]

Never even seen one of those.. what is it. record player?

[MuscleInk]

This got a lot of play time in my house

Dumbest toy ever!!!!

lmao, I used to use jello to spike my hair.

Lmao

I used Kool-aid to dye mine

Turns out that black hair doesn't take color well but white skin did. Haha

[Igifuno]

You've always been a crazy bastard jasc.. haha.

[jasc]

haha.. not really. i hung with a good crew of kids though. one year we built an entire 8' tall, 8' wide half pipe out of wood we stole from peoples yards! (i forgot about that!).. summer '86 i believe.

Same here, there was 6-7 of us up until 9th grade that were skate or die (remember that arcade game? Funny story, this kid moved to our school in 8th grade, metal head. He walked around the school the first day and at the end came up to us and said "Looks like Ill be hanging with you guys." Turned out to be a good friend.

As far as the ramp, my friend was rich, he was the smartest in his grade but had dread locks and smoked weed (In the 80's, he was ahead of the times). His parents said if he kept his grades above 95 when they built their new house he would get a ramp. They builders built the house, 2 car garage(with half court basketball), huge pool deck and then the ramp attached to the deck behind the garage. We sat there everyday for a month, they built the half pipe we would skate on that when they left and then they finished the bowl around it with metal coping.....epic days!

Edit: I had the hair too, would go in my mouth lol.

Good stuff guys. We built a bunch of big ramps at the end of our street out of wood from construction sites. Made a box and a few differnt ramps and landings to do gaps. Always wanted a half-pipe but never had the funds or know-how at that age.

We'd also go downtown and "street ride." We'd go in a good size group and do drop-offs, grind, bunny hop any and everything. Also had some sweet dirt trails we spent months making.

Those were the days.. BMX bikes, Heavy metal and Red Dog beer.

Zoom zoom beep beep!!! Can't find any good pictures but anyone ever have one of those motocross bicycles with the plastic gas tank, plastic fenders and off road knobby tires? My favorite bike as a kid!

[jasc]

who didnt have a secret stash?

Definitely had a stash. My dad kept them in the bathroom n every once in a while I'd swipe one. We kept em in my youngest brothers room so we wouldn't get busted with them.

[jasc]

Badass 405! Be careful doing stunts though. Rims and forks bend much easier at our weight than they did back when we were kids.

I'm ashamed to admit this but I once owned a leather bomber jacket. The brown faux leather with the fur collar and a couple pilot type patches.

Had a couple jean jackets too.

The 80's were a dark time. Still hate my mom for making me wear that stuff. Lol
