no way!! i invented apple ball a long time ago when jonagold apples were 10 cents a piece at albertsons! bummer, could've been famous-ish.

Fruit ball looks mighty familiar, except we always used full soda cans and a broom handle. Recently we played "fruit badminton" with apples, which was really closer to dodgeball with the added rule that if it didn't hit you but you didn't catch it, you were out.

fire-ball-catch is our best past time. simply soak a tennis ball in lighter fluid and play catch (quickly... obviously!). this game went on 4 quite a while. however u shouldn't play it if u don't get on with ur neighbours. our flaming tennis ball went over the fence... flames spread and the only water to hand was in the washing up bowl. we are still short of cutlery.

A note on hedge hopping / jumping: be careful of stray twigs ontop of bushes and be careful not to land face down. Around 6 months ago I had to be accompanied to casualty by hysterical friends due to a stick up the nose injury. Ichhh still makes me shudder and my nose isn't quite straight anymore :( ontop of that all the doctors burst out laughing when I told them the story ¬¬ I'm still known to this day to some spectators as "twiggy". :)

My bum got wet when i sledded it is summer !!! And ice melts

Hey, I've gone ice block sledding before! It's so much fun. :D

The tree game.... you need a big old redwood tree, hunt around and fashion a stick, that you can thrust in to the soft fibrous bark, and then run up the truck and thrust your stick as high as you can go. tHe aim is to leave your stick, sticking out at the highest point you can propel yourself.. A good pair of grippy running shoes, will sort the wheat from the chaff. Will make video to support the fun stupid athletic waste of exercise this can be. A good tip is to get your your first foot contact as high as you can push up from, you should be able to get two steps up the trunk, 11 /12ft is the highest I have seen...... be warned the what goes up comes down. My mate Charlie taught it me, as part of tree climbing antics foreplay..

I've always called it bush falling instead of hedge jumping but regardless, its more fun in the snow and always check the thorn level of the bush/hedge before attempting a jump

Looks like fun

I've Moto Trashed on a bicycle.
