I’m looking for something fun to do this summer, How about Streetluge?

When I was a kid, we lived on a hill. The kids in the neighborhood would build carts and ride down the sidewalk. The kids across the street once built a double-decker cart (it crashed a lot). We once built a cart with a 45 degree extended box hanging off behind he rear wheels. If the kids in the back leaned back, the cart would do a “wheelie”. Of course we had to attach steel skate wheels on the back as a sort of a “wheelie bar”.

This was fun until we were going down this huge hill on a county blacktop. Someone leaned back to do a wheelie and before we knew it we were at the bottom of a 20 foot ditch on the side of the road.

Later on, my three younger brothers were in the Soap box derby.

I always like going down hills fast so how about Streetluging?
