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

[-] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 53 points 10 months ago

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

[-] oyfrog@lemmy.world 17 points 10 months ago

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.

[-] ynthrepic@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

To shreds you say?

[-] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Was it a nice funeral at least?

[-] Itsamelemmy@lemmy.zip 3 points 10 months ago

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

[-] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago

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

[-] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 22 points 10 months ago

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

[-] HootinNHollerin@slrpnk.net 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

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

[-] MaoZedongers@lemmy.today 1 points 9 months ago

I'm sure you enjoyed pumping together with your friends

[-] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 35 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

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.

I see our feeds align

[-] reagansrottencorpse@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

We are NOT done talking about this !

[-] myslsl@lemmy.world 29 points 10 months ago

These are not mutually exclusive. Believe in yourself.

[-] HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works 11 points 10 months ago

Someone call Xzibit

[-] db2@lemmy.world 25 points 10 months ago

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

[-] 0Xero0@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

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

[-] db2@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago

No, the bike is definitely pegging him.

[-] smackjack@lemmy.world 19 points 10 months ago

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

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago

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

[-] psud@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

For the cyclist to stand on when performing various BMX stunts

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

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.

[-] Flying_Hellfish@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

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

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 3 points 10 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

[-] LinkOpensChest_wav@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 10 months ago

Pegging to your friend's house

Then the real pegging begins

[-] Mango@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago

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

[-] 50_centavos@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago

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

[-] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 10 months ago

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

Rider: uhh... Wheely time?

[-] MiDaBa@lemmy.ml 3 points 10 months ago

When He-Man becomes Cringer.

[-] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago

He was alwasy He(y)Man.

[-] Rolando@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

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

[-] pixeltree@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 10 months ago

I wish someone would peg me

[-] gdog05@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

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

[-] Clubbing4198@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Bro, let me peg it all the way home

[-] Pinklink@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago

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

[-] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

EEE I recognize that boardwalk, Mission Beach San Diego

[-] Kase@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago
