We need to get some old school representing in this thing. I will say, though, that it's awesome to see the traditions continuing.
Here are some that come to mind, circa 1999-2003ish:
1. Gerald walking into the room sophomore year asking "hey, can you come check this out?" Turns out he late braked a little too late and understeerd his civic? integra? into a curb with his mom riding shotgun.
2. Sean Schutte Evil Knievel-ing his motorcycle through a plastic table, through a railing, off a 5' porch, and landing under a car.
3. Gerald and Channing's XMMas party (I helped but it was their idea) with hugely successful whip cream wrestling contest and stripper pole. Where are those NSFW and Feersty pics?.
4. The "Cruise" over 33, through Franklin WV on 220 to Monterrey, over 250 back and 42 up to Harrisonburg. Sean Schutte in his E30, Dave Allen in his 240, Alison (now my wife) in her Miata, and me in the XR. I think I passed 12ish cars at once going up 33?
5. G and I riding wheelies outside of John Chapin's house at a burn-it-down party
4. RJ and I riding wheelies outside some apartment complex. That time didn't end quite as well
5. Taking Gerald one one of his first crotch rocket rides, ending with his adrenaline pumping so much he literally could barely stand.
6. Teaching Gerald to drift in my F150 in the parking lot of Grand Home Furnishings
7. Jumping the train tracks on the way to Summit Point, accidentally aiming right at Rex and Julie as they pulled in from a side road.
8. Jumping the same train tracks with DJ in the back seat.
9. Gerald pulling me while I rode a snowboard behind the truck through campus.
10. "Ice Fishing" in my F150 with some of the newer generation in the Kohls parking lot, Blair being pulled on a snowboard while on a jeep. Cops came, DJ jumped in my truck, and the only way to avoid said cops was to dukes-of-hazard through a 6' tall snowbank over a median. We got away though.
11. Backwards golf cart racing
12. Being on the radio when Chad (2kgt, most of you don't know him) rolled his Mustang at VIR during his 3rd or so AI race.
No pictures handy unfortunately. They do exist though, maybe some others will post.
OGs, what am I forgetting?
