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

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 50 points 7 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] oyfrog@lemmy.world 17 points 7 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.

[–] ynthrepic@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

To shreds you say?

[–] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

Was it a nice funeral at least?

[–] Itsamelemmy@lemmy.zip 1 points 7 months ago

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

[–] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 22 points 7 months ago

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

[–] HootinNHollerin@slrpnk.net 0 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

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

[–] MaoZedongers@lemmy.today 1 points 6 months ago

I'm sure you enjoyed pumping together with your friends

[–] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 31 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 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.

[–] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 18 points 7 months ago

I see our feeds align

[–] reagansrottencorpse@lemmy.world 10 points 7 months ago

We are NOT done talking about this !

[–] myslsl@lemmy.world 29 points 7 months ago (1 children)

These are not mutually exclusive. Believe in yourself.

[–] HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works 10 points 7 months ago

Someone call Xzibit

[–] db2@lemmy.world 24 points 7 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] WashedOver@lemmy.ca 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)
[–] Fades@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

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

[–] 0Xero0@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] db2@lemmy.world 0 points 7 months ago

No, the bike is definitely pegging him.

[–] smackjack@lemmy.world 19 points 7 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 13 points 7 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] psud@lemmy.world 10 points 7 months ago (1 children)

For the cyclist to stand on when performing various BMX stunts

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 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.

[–] Flying_Hellfish@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

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

Pegging to your friend's house

Then the real pegging begins

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 15 points 7 months ago

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

[–] 50_centavos@lemmy.world 13 points 7 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

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

Rider: uhh... Wheely time?

[–] MiDaBa@lemmy.ml 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

When He-Man becomes Cringer.

[–] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 3 points 7 months ago

He was alwasy He(y)Man.

[–] Rolando@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago

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

[–] Clubbing4198@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

Bro, let me peg it all the way home

[–] gdog05@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

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

[–] Pinklink@lemm.ee 4 points 7 months ago

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

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

EEE I recognize that boardwalk, Mission Beach San Diego

[–] Kase@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Happy memories unlocked :')

[–] pixeltree@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 7 months ago

I wish someone would peg me

[–] kool_newt@lemm.ee 2 points 7 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!"

[–] quicksand@lemm.ee 2 points 7 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

[–] kool_newt@lemm.ee 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

(probably invented by GenX)

Sounds like it.

[–] quicksand@lemm.ee 1 points 7 months ago

Too fun and too many injuries for kids these days lmao

[–] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 2 points 7 months ago

You’ve got me pegged.
