How about something different for a change.

She certainly has some talent. And  some amazing balance.

meh, only cool cause today's kids are such panzies they don't do bmx tricks any longer as they ride those giant fag bikes.

Yeah, but today's kids have thumbs of steel.

I'd bet half of Gen Z probably doesn't even know how to ride a two wheeler without training wheels.

Whatever that activity is called....it ain’t for guys. 

Ha.... just make sure you don't land on the cross bar. Your voice will change by a few octaves.. :crazy:

Hell, as kids, we lived on our bikes, did all types of tricks and jumps and had some spectacular crashes. I rarely ever see any kids out on bikes in the neighborhood now. As a matter of fact, I rarely see any kids outside playing anything.... Period....

Looked like she only put her foot down once to catch her balance, impressive.

Only thing that could have made that video better was if she wore a bikini.

Same here in my neighborhood, we don't see any kids playing out side, when my nephew whines about not having the latest and greatest what ever, I remind him of the two toys I had growing up, a bike and a stickball bat, thank god the other kids on my street had tennis balls.

This is pretty much all neighborhoods, never see kids out, maybe walking a dog.

I think most kids even know what a stickball bat is, remember as a kid my mom always yell at me for taking the broomstick. Hell we used to play with bottle caps, anyone remember Skullys or as we called it skeelzes? Did I spell that right.

As far as having the lastest and greatest, Kids today are spoiled, part if the problem is parents, their to busy for their  kids, it's part of the society we live in now.

At first I thought it was gonna be a video of her riding in circles on a bike. I was ok with this.

She does have some impressive skills.

 

And what is this "playing outside" thing you old farts keep talking about? What self respecting kid would give up Xbox, netflix, and phone use to be outside in the dirt and sun?

 

Actually i blame the playground equipment. Remember metal slides higher than 4 feet? Remember *metal* playground equipment?  Now its all 3' tall plastic crap, no wonder kids don't wanna play outside. Lawyers and Karens ruined the outdoors.  Watching the brighly colored primary color paint dry on the playground would be more entertaining than using the playground.

Playground?

I grew up playing with Army men on a dirt hill with firecrackers. Then advanced to Mattel Machineguns in the woods playing "war". Then it was Wiffle Ball and football in the neighbor's yard. Of course, in the winter, it was snow ball fights with built fort igloos and sledding down the unplowed main street.

You guys were lucky to have toys to play with. 
 

When I was a kid, we didn’t have anything to play with other than sticks and dirt clods. 
 

Army men...whiffle ball, football...what a luxury! :p

Do the neighborhood kids that don't play outside talk amongst themselves in hushed tones to not to let the baseball get onto Old Man PK90's yard, or else he'll come out to the porch and yell about 'getting off his lawn, you damned kids!' before rambling on about walking to school uphill both ways in the snow in bare feet?

FIFY

Parents today don't want to deal with their kids, so they give them the newest electronic gadget to pacify them. Watch parents giving their 18 month old toddler their phone while shopping, to shut them up is pathetic.

Then for the school aged kids, give them their iPad babysitter, so the parents have the freedom to update their own Facebook status, without interruption... :crazy:

Send the kids out to play in the yard??? Really,... that means the mom's need to cut the umbilical cord still attached to the 10 year old.  :scratchhead:

As kids, we often used our bikes as a mode of transportation.  We lived in the "village" of Franklin Park and took our bikes to the Princeton Shopping Center to do our Christmas shopping (before there was a Quaker Bridge Mall).  Kids now have a choice between a moped, golf cart, or an off-road trail bike.

The choice now for the kids is either Dad or Mom drive them there.

This...    but we upgraded to bottle rockets at about grade 6...

Some of the igloos were pretty cool. Sucked when we came outside the next morning and they collapsed because it warmed up.  I think I recall one time we had two connected with a tunnel.

@Sniper   Bikes were essential. In Jersey City back in the late 60s early 70s, we rode bikes everywhere. I lived near the border with Bayonne but we took them to Journal Square....what we called ..the Long Docks on theNew York Harbor... Bayonne Park.  Even way out near the Bayonne Bridge.  That was pretty far as I recall.  Ride from parents?  Only when they made us do it.  We preferred bikes.
