[Bong O. Boi]

The earliest toy I can remember really loving was my Big Wheel. Why don't they have those anymore?

Later on was GI Joe, with the Kung Fu Grip, of course. It was a doll, motherfuckers. NOT an action figure!!

By far the best was the Evel Knievel Stunt Cycle. It was the complete toy. I jumped that thing over everything, and it just kept coming back for more. I look them up on eBay every so often. Actually, my girl has a 3 year old, so I think maybe I could actually justify getting one. The other Knievel stuff wasn't so great. The deal based on his canyon jump machine couldn't build up much speed and was pretty well worthless. Same with the drag racer car. Just seemed lame. And the truck based on the bus thing that he travelled in was just a knock off of the Big Jim Camper. The commercials implied that it had a ramp that you could use to jump the motorcycle over, but it was too steep of an angle, so the motorcycle would just run into it.

There was a deal that was like the Evel Knievel Stunt Cycle, but it was smaller, and I kinda remember it being an air powered thing. These things were totally indestructable and faster than fuck. It was lighter, too, so you could jump it a mile. I can't remember what it was called tho. Like SST or something like that.

Ah, to be 8 again.
