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
SSX characters for me
I had Sonic, from the Sonic Riders series. Seeing as Sonic could slide through some cable thing, made sense. Plus, like, Danny Phantom, maybe, and maybe others.
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
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.
Basically the same, but BMX for me lol
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.
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 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.
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 only see my imaginary friend when I take too much Benadryl
Nightmare fuel, thanks
Actually less scary tbh 😄
hat man my beloved<3

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.
Mine was a cool skateboard dude who did the most amazing grinds and flips
I would imagine a BMX bike in tow. Using bridge embankments to clear roads… 😎
Me too :)
Sonic the Hedgehog.
I got that Sonic Autism
No, all of ya’ll are crazy. The dot of dirt on the window was the aiming device for a laser, and you had to use it to cut all the electrical wires without cutting trees or the poles, because those are wood and it would start a fire.
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
I can hear this photo. Take some fluorescent bulbs along and go at night.
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 hadn’t remembered this in years, but I always imagined myself out there like the Flash and how my older brothers were in the car watching me burn it up and being super impressed. I literally might not have remembered that during my entire adult life. Thanks for reminding me. Although I was more like seven at the time.
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
I usually imagined either sonic the hedgehog or one of the velociraptors from jurassic park
