I… don't
Has that word ever really meant that?!

[–] [email protected] 52 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Gen-X here. My friends and I just said "ride the pegs" or "suicide ride".

[–] [email protected] 17 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Related to suicide ride, but I'm a millennial: I had a childhood friend who rode down a hill on the pegs once. He thought the best solution for slowing down mid-hill was to jump off.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

To shreds you say?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

Was it a nice funeral at least?

[–] Itsamelemmy 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Isn't suicide without the pegs? Just barely gripping on to the wheel bolts. Or on the handlebars?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Suicide was the front, pegs or not. At least for us.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 8 months ago

You're telling me you've never pegged with your friends?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

We called it pumping, which now that I think about it isn't much better

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

I'm sure you enjoyed pumping together with your friends

[–] [email protected] 34 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (2 children)

I told my dad a pegging party was when you had the bros on the back of your bikes.

I'm now expecting my mom to text me back any second now.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 8 months ago

I see our feeds align

[–] [email protected] 12 points 8 months ago

We are NOT done talking about this !

[–] [email protected] 29 points 8 months ago (1 children)

These are not mutually exclusive. Believe in yourself.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago

Someone call Xzibit

[–] [email protected] 25 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Plot twist: that bike has no seat on the post.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

Don’t forget this classic: https://youtu.be/Ns46Z10IU4s

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

if it does, it would be called "seating" instead of "pegging"

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago

No, the bike is definitely pegging him.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I remember bike pegs. The things that everyone wanted, but no one ever actually used as intended.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 8 months ago (1 children)

What was their intended use? I thought they were made for giving rides, and grinding rails.....

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago (1 children)

For the cyclist to stand on when performing various BMX stunts

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

Oh, ok. So while they are in the air, or what? Or is this more like a trick bike display where they are just using the pegs to balance at crazy angles while they stay on the ground, similar to the former SAAB stunt driving team?

Edit: For reference, those are unmodified SAABs. They could just do that shit off the line. That's specifically why GM killed SAAB. They refused to use the GM standard parts, and kept making the safest cars in the world.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

More like this, balancing but also moving around like a Saab . https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=koFRMwF26Zk

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Ok, that shits really cool. I'm glad we didn't know their intended purpose. We'd have hospitalized ourselves trying to do that

[–] [email protected] 18 points 8 months ago

Pegging to your friend's house

Then the real pegging begins

[–] [email protected] 15 points 8 months ago

Oh my gawd, I remember. I've literally asked dudes to peg me somewhere....

[–] [email protected] 13 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It can still mean that if you call your ass a BMX.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Pegger: By the power of Grayskull.... I'm gonna...oh god... Have the POWER!

Rider: uhh... Wheely time?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

When He-Man becomes Cringer.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

He was alwasy He(y)Man.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago

Nobody's going to mention Evil-Lyn there waiting for Skeletor?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

I wish someone would peg me

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

To be fair, we used axle pegs so.. maybe a little less weird.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

Bro, let me peg it all the way home

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

It still is, as long as BMX stands for Bum Masterfully Xecuting

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

EEE I recognize that boardwalk, Mission Beach San Diego

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Gen X here, "pegging" meant hitting your target, like with a ball or something. "Ah! you pegged him right in the leg!"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Late Millennial here. We played a game called peg ball (probably invented by GenX) which was just wall ball but you could peg the guy trying to get to the wall to get him out

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

(probably invented by GenX)

Sounds like it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Too fun and too many injuries for kids these days lmao

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

You’ve got me pegged.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Happy memories unlocked :')
