I found these retro Polaroids of kids fucking around on BMX bikes on… uh… FFFFound, coincidentally. And even though relations between skaters and BMXers historically have been a little tense (because their big dumb wheels put holes in wooden ramps, the fucking savages) I thought these shots were pretty fucking awesome. They really capture the nonchalance and bravado of being a teenager with too much time and a bunch of dumb ideas.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times; it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness; it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity; it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness; it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair; we had everything before us, we had nothing before us; we were all going directly to Heaven, we were all going the other way. — Charles Dickens

Oh to be 15 again. Mostly just because then my knees and ankles wouldn’t ache whenever it rains anymore.
