Those things were a freaking work out! I think my parents bought them for us just to burn off excess energy so they could get some rest.

I was amazed to find these still available. Would make a nice xmas gift to me, in case anyone is stumped on what to get.
Reminds me of SuperBalls.
I remember my brothers and me getting these for Christmas one year. It didn't take long for things to get broken in the house and so our mom forbade us from bouncing them inside. Soon after that we took them to the baseball field to see how far they would fly off an aluminum bat. We have no idea where they ended up because they went far enough that we couldn't see them in the air while they were still going up.I was amazed to find these still available.

Do you remember your mom telling you to be careful because "you'll put out an eye" with that?
In our house that had real meaning. A cousin and his friend were whipping darts around in the basement being stupid and his friend hit him dead center in the eye. Stupid, careless, accident. Nothing to be done in those days, the sixties, blinded in that eye.

I didn't lose an eye, but I did look down to see a dart dangling out of forearm one day. Back then the cures included spitting tobacco on it or that red mecurichrome stuff.

This reminds me of jr high in winter.Nope, that was the winter fun: fertilizer plastic bag under the arse and down a snow covered pasture we went...
Dare if you hit an obstacle hidden in the snow though... frozen mole hills are notorious
Even build ramps for some air-time... coccyx hurts when only thinking of it...
We would take cafeteria trays to the hill next to the school and ride them down. Easily 20 of us riding trays and no faculty bothering us.
There was a creek at the bottom.
When the hill was real slick it was a challenge not to go in.
One time when it was -5 degrees a buddy and I went screaming down the hill, him first into the creek. In a flash I figure he’s in the creek, I don’t need to get wet, used him as a stepping stone. I managed not to hurt him in the process. He was full body soaked. I walked him home, then doubled back to head to my home.
By the way,
I am so old, I remember when they didn’t cancel school when it got cold outside.
