GenX here, a little more perspective, back when I was a kid in the 80s Los Angeles. There was a huge drought and certain areas required everyone that had a pool in their backyard to be drained. Skaters in Venice such as the Zboys would be hopping into these backyards while the people living there were gone and throw exclusive invite only skate parties in those pools. When the people living there got home, everyone ran before the cops came. Just about everry GenX has climbed a roof, for some it was to get the antenna working, some it was for the view, and some like myself and friends it was both because we weren't supposed to be up there and in many cases for the thrill of jumping off the roof (usually onto grass below). Other kids in the neighborhood and I would also make a game of this in jumping over objects such as clothesline poles or small trees from the roof. We'd hop fences of schools when they were closed to play basketball or skate (many of these times involved using a table/benches for doing tricks). Games? Yeah I remember Red Rover which was very mild compared to some of the other games we played (Red Rover was something that teachers in preschool and elementary school had us playing). Red Rover was nothing compared to British Bulldog which is very similar to Red Rover except it involves tackling people without any protective gear. Many of us, we'd be in arcades multiple times a week or bowling alleys to play video games and GenX gamers are just as crazy. The makeshift bike ramp talked about, we looked forward to when road repairs were being done around the corner. The asphalt they'd have in a big pile for days was our makeshift bike ramp. As a kid, there was one bank my mother went to every week. Every time I went with her, while waiting for her, I'd be climbing the wall of the bank (was told multiple times by the employees to not do it after almost reaching the roof of the bank). My mother knew I was doing this, she'd come back to the car many times to find me almost to the roof but she never scolded me. We'd do backflips off swings and monkey bars. Even as very little kids our parents just watched and didn't say anything.

@@desmien679 as a gen z with a gen x mum and a cusp dad, i definitely appreciate the way they’ve parented me with a good balance of caring about me when i got hurt and letting me make the mistakes. i don’t feel like i missed out on a good childhood and still got to learn the same lessons a lot of you guys did. i definitely feel for you guys! it’s so known that children need attention from their parents for healthy development, so i appreciate that gen x (mostly) learnt from their own childhoods. unfortunately not all gen z kids have the same experience as me and some even had super strict parents, so i think a good balance is the better option! thanks for your comment :)

@@gabriellaruby many parents didn't completely ignore the kids but more at a very young age had us be aware of what to do to keep ourselves safe while at the same time letting us learn from making our own mistakes. Like for me, there were times I'd be visiting friends that lived on a ranch in the desert and we'd go off shooting stuff with BB guns. However we knew not to shoot each other with them otherwise we'd be feeling it from our parents afterwards. At a very small age we had to stay on our street or block however many of us would sneak to the nearby donut shop nearby to play videogames. We'd get caught sometimes and get a spanking and/or grounded for it but we still did it anyways. It was the thrill of also doing what we weren't supposed to that added to the danger and the thrill of doing it. Even some of the millennials that were born in the early 80s would be doing some of these things with us. It's also not just the parents but the neighbors in the area back then who were aware of some of the things we were doing, some even knew our parents, some would even keep an eye on us from a window on occasion but would always let kids be kids. The only time they might get involved is sometimes if one of us got seriously hurt like a broken bone or in the case of some neighbors if we were either caught on their roof or in their property (even then some just ignored it such as us hopping the wall into their yard to get a ball or something instead of us constantly bugging em about it accidentally going into the yard). We learned a lot also and in the best way to keep it retained, from experiencing it. We may have jumped off a bunch of high places but we also knew what was feasible before doing it the first time and from the experience knew what we could handle and couldn't. We also quickly learned from the very stupid mistakes we made especially when broken bones were involved. This didn't mean we stopped doing many of these things but learned from it and became more careful with doing it in the future.
