One fall day during college, Alex and I were bored. Boredom being a totally unacceptable state of existence, we invented a new sport.
At one point, the Shamrock house had 12 bikes stashed in the garage and on the back porch. Probably 4 of these bikes were in some level of disrepair. With so much raw material, I guess what happened next was probably inevitable. We took an old ski I had salvaged from the trash, and placed it on the ground. The ski kept the forks from burrowing into the soil at takeoff. Then we took the front wheels off two bikes, rested the forks on the ski, and popped a wheelie for as long as possible. When the wheelie ended, you endoed. Simple as that. In actuality it was quite difficult to pop a wheelie without a front wheel, the handlebars being so close to the ground and all. But, we eventually got the hang of it.....sort of.
