This was in the 80s. Never heard of rubiks revenge

The original 3x3x3 came out in the 70's but the Rubiks revenge was a 4x4x4 which came out in the 80's. Same algorithms really.

Rubik's revenge it was then, 4x4x4. You learn something new every day

Ah, Double Dragon. I was an expert with the backwards elbow strike.

That was the key to finishing the game with only one credit.

I used to be able to remember people's names, terrible now.
Bunny hops, not for the life of me nowadays but used to do them all the time, on a heavier bike too

Drinking more than a pint of beer without getting a headache

Getting into a wetsuit to go surfing used to be preceded by excitement for the waves to come rather than the current anxiety and subsequent 'putting something out' whilst doing passable impression of a seal trying to fit into a carrier bag.

Hang your head.

Especially re: 3. I find that a fist with the middle knuckle extended to the side of the thigh is rather effective.

[QUOTE 3186253, member: 30090"]Nope, just up from the knee on top of the leg.[/QUOTE]
I feel a dead leg duel is required. Extra points for the fabled double-dead-leg leaving the victim crumpled on the floor!

I can still do skids on my bike like I could as a kid! It's easy: you just slam on the rear brakes but not the front, and away you go .

i do skids on my bike usually when i have had a near miss . cleaning my pants up afterwards is a skill i have not lost

 

[Dave 123]

The ability of not taking other people into account.......

 

[Vapin' Joe]

Forcing a fart without a feeling of trepidation.

rat's tail* - used to do them as a kid. Doubt I could now.

* from wikipedia...

" twist a towel along the diagonal (typically dampened to hold its shape), making it into a whip with a towel corner at the tip.

The prankster then "snaps" the towel as if cracking a whip, striking the victim with the end tip of the towel and causing pain. This prank is usually performed in communal showers, where wet towels are plentiful and bare skin provides opportunity to maximize the pain inflicted."

We pretty much only did the 'whip crack' bit because actually getting stuck hurt like fek. Pinkies though, they were a different matter!
