Fuck, I still do
I hadn’t remembered this in years, but I always imagined myself out there like the Flash and how my older brothers were in the car watching me burn it up and being super impressed. I literally might not have remembered that during my entire adult life. Thanks for reminding me. Although I was more like seven at the time.
Regrettably no. I would imagine myself unhinge my jaw and eat all the trees and brushes we would pass. For whatever reason, kindergarten-me strongly believed that everything without a heartbeat looked very delicious and edible. Trees, clouds, snow, sand, windmills, brick buildings, flags, other cars, busses and the sun itself.
Grew out of that phase when I began school, but yeah. In a way I kinda miss being so young and new to living that you’re still figuring out what is and isn’t possible. The world seemed a lot more fun when you didn’t yet know the rules, lol.
Close, but not quite the same. I used my fingers as the imaginary runner, leaping from thing to thing, riding wires, etc.
I don’t recall imagining a particular character, just a humanoid figure running alongside and jumping over/dodging stuff.
Apparently this is one of those things that nobody ever talk about, but a lot of people did.
I’m an adult and I still do this lol.
Grew up in a cold part of the world, was a skier doing grinds and flips, but yeah, same idea!
I usually imagined either sonic the hedgehog or one of the velociraptors from jurassic park
Mine was a cool skateboard dude who did the most amazing grinds and flips
Reminded me of this short film (that’s clearly sponsored by the North Face) from a a few years ago. https://youtu.be/IXw17Cjbeeo
Was about the post the same. RIP JP
I would imagine a BMX bike in tow. Using bridge embankments to clear roads… 😎
Me too :)
hell yes! I’m my case, I rode a dirt bike just next to the highway jumping overpasses, dodging trees and whatever else I needed to do to keep pace with the car without crashing
same here. For my dad it was skiing
Yep, dirt bike for me too. Maybe it’s a lack of really creative imagination, but someone doing parkour couldn’t have kept up. A dirt bike makes sense because it could do highway speeds.
Same!
Excite Bike pog
Basically the same, but BMX for me lol
My childhood had some guy surfing on the power lines.
I had Sonic, from the Sonic Riders series. Seeing as Sonic could slide through some cable thing, made sense. Plus, like, Danny Phantom, maybe, and maybe others.
omg mine was inspired by Jet Set radio characters, grinding on the power lines, rooftops & whatnot ! quite close
SSX characters for me
I had Ben from Ben 10 mostly as xlr8 or heatblast if need flight. Picking up powerups like milestone or postbox… Lol
I had a cheetah running along, occasionally a horse. But not in the city, only on the motorway
I had a dragon flying along side. Sometimes it’s a bike dodging opposing traffic and jumping ramps
I had a blade extending from my hand and cut down everything we passed like telephone poles and trees and mailboxes but I couldn’t let it touch metal so I had to angle my hand up if we passed anything like that.
Similar, I had lasers coming out of the side mirrors but would have to take my hand off the “button” so it wouldn’t cut down the signs, telephone poles, mailboxes, people, etc.
