You sound like my kind of people. You ever make the swing go all the way around? I never saw anyone do it but we all tried and went way too high to where the chain would slack and basically drop you back to the ground.
gotta get a rigid swing. Mythbusters did a thing, because of the slackening of the chains, it’s impossible without, ah, significant modifications otherwise.
no, on the swings, I was mostly interested in flipping upside down. (the seat twisted veriticle, legs looped in the chains.)
I learned an entirely different lesson on that. (“Don’t Scare Mom”)
I know exactly what you’re talking about. There were a lot of kids at school that were into that.
I became pretty good at the back flip to show off and see how far I could get it to launch me while doing the back flip. I remember a time where a teacher caught me and scolded me pretty severely. It was beautifully reckless fun.

I’ve enjoyed this trip down memory lane with you.
hehe. yeah. I think I’m going to have to teach the niece to do the flippy thing. You know. Keep the tradition alive.
