The most uncomfortable bicycle seat I ever owned ,but it looked cool.
I saw some kids doing the exact same thing the other day.
That must be AI, none of them are going face first on the sidewalk like we used to do 🙂
My first bike was a blue banana seat Schwinn.
Those kids could’ve been me. In the late 70s, we would set up ramps like that, but we had the fortune of a small, grassy downhill to give us extra speed to hit those jumps. We would spend the time trying to beat each other‘s jump distance.
I recall one unfortunate jump where I launched off the downhill jump, and when I landed the back wheel of my bike (similar to the video,) taco’ed, collapsing the bike and throwing me to the ground. Too bad, as I broke the distance record that day.
I had a 3 speed CCM Mustang. Gold with the tall thing on the back.  That could be me in that video 🙂
How can they be having fun, none of those bikes have a full suspension setup, disc brakes, or dropper posts! /s
No latest hype gear, no helmet, no high viz nothing, no selfie-style grins and all that while having fun? Teleport me! 😄
The good ol times!
Yeah GenX bicycles, then came BMX and everyone was fLying.
