Fuck, I still do
I think it’s really interesting that everyone seems to have had either a humanoid running along side the car or something aiming from their eyes that can cut/smash only certain types of things. I wonder what makes it happen.
My childhood had some guy surfing on the power lines.
omg mine was inspired by Jet Set radio characters, grinding on the power lines, rooftops & whatnot ! quite close
I had Ben from Ben 10 mostly as xlr8 or heatblast if need flight. Picking up powerups like milestone or postbox… Lol
Skiing and jumping snow banks between driveways for me, and BMXing in the summer!
hell yes! I’m my case, I rode a dirt bike just next to the highway jumping overpasses, dodging trees and whatever else I needed to do to keep pace with the car without crashing
Same!
Excite Bike pog
same here. For my dad it was skiing
Basically the same, but BMX for me lol
Yep, dirt bike for me too. Maybe it’s a lack of really creative imagination, but someone doing parkour couldn’t have kept up. A dirt bike makes sense because it could do highway speeds.
I had a blade extending from my hand and cut down everything we passed like telephone poles and trees and mailboxes but I couldn’t let it touch metal so I had to angle my hand up if we passed anything like that.
I had the same thing except it was some sort of laser and since I have aphantasia I didn’t get to see any of it and just looked for weak spots.
Similar, I had lasers coming out of the side mirrors but would have to take my hand off the “button” so it wouldn’t cut down the signs, telephone poles, mailboxes, people, etc.
I always imagined a ninja doing flips and shit.
Mine was also a ninja that used signs as weapons. He’d pull them out of the ground and use them like swords.
Signposts with reflectors on them had special powers depending on the reflector color.
I’m glad this post exists, I thought it was just me.
I don’t recall imagining a particular character, just a humanoid figure running alongside and jumping over/dodging stuff.
Apparently this is one of those things that nobody ever talks about, but a lot of people did.
I only see my imaginary friend when I take too much Benadryl
Nightmare fuel, thanks
Actually less scary tbh 😄
hat man my beloved<3

I would imagine a BMX bike in tow. Using bridge embankments to clear roads… 😎
Me too :)
Tony Hawk’s
I usually imagined either sonic the hedgehog or one of the velociraptors from jurassic park
Nah, it was my imaginary friend doing bmx tricks, we didn’t have parkour back then.
Also, how could a person run fast enough to keep up with a motor vehicle? Sheesh, does your imagination completely ignore science? You gotta have at least a bicycle to keep up.
Also, this is the first time I’ve ever seen or heard someone else talk about this kind of daydream. So, it’s pretty fucking cool, even though the details aren’t the same.
I always wanted to go here:
Just follow them on and on until I reached some presumably paradisaical location.
Seattle has a park/trail like this
Parkour wasn’t a thing when I was 10, for me it was Strider running along with the car and slashing stuff.
What do you mean “did”!
It’s considerably more difficult to do this when you have to focus on driving.
Someone can’t handle a challenge. /s
Damn, I thought I was the only one…
