Thank you Ernest,every athlete has their own way of flying thru the air-I love watching at this point.
Growing up in the 40s and 50s I never knew anybody that brave, it's amazing what kids do nowadays.

Thanks MT for the positive comment! I wouldn't try that either at this point in life, but it's super exhilarating watching it close hand. Tom

I owned a Schwinn myself when growing up and even though it was capable of great things,unfortunately I wasn’t. But I loved just delivering newspapers with it at 5:30 every morning before school.🤡
I've 95% restored a 72 Schwinn Speedster.
