My childhood had some guy surfing on the power lines.

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.

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

[–] klay@lemm.ee 3 points 2 weeks ago

same here. For my dad it was skiing

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.

[–] jqubed@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[–] recently_Coco@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[–] enix@reddthat.com 16 points 2 weeks ago

Mine was a cool skateboard dude who did the most amazing grinds and flips

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I would imagine a BMX bike in tow. Using bridge embankments to clear roads... 😎

[–] VinesNFluff@pawb.social 14 points 2 weeks ago

Sonic the Hedgehog.

I got that Sonic Autism

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I always wanted to go here:

Just follow them on and on until I reached some presumably paradisaical location.

[–] ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.zip 9 points 2 weeks ago

Seattle has a park/trail like this

[–] Rubisco@slrpnk.net 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I can hear this photo. Take some fluorescent bulbs along and go at night.

[–] GoodLuckToFriends@lemmy.today 13 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[–] some_guy 11 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[–] ParadoxSeahorse@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

Tony Hawk’s

[–] Amnesigenic@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 weeks ago

I usually imagined either sonic the hedgehog or one of the velociraptors from jurassic park

Parkour wasn't a thing when I was 10, for me it was Strider running along with the car and slashing stuff.

[–] RizzoTheSmall@lemm.ee 8 points 2 weeks ago

Damn, I thought I was the only one...

[–] Dorkyd68@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Mine was an imaginary me on a dirt bike doing sick jumps

[–] isekaihero@ani.social 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

No I was imagining a rod of destruction sticking out the side of the car, and whenever it hit a building we were driving past it would annihilate the building like the juggernaut ran through it.

... isn't that what normal kids thought about?

[–] RandomStickman@fedia.io 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I had imagined a laser beam slicing everything too

It was Mario, represented by a dirty spot or water droplet on the window, who would be made to jump over things by moving my head up and down

Nah, I just imagine the vehicles two lanes over is armed with lasers and if there's a car in between us, it deflects the laser, otherwise, I lose 1 HP.

(The clouds that look like a face are deities watching you. Trees are sentient and waving at you)

Similar thing with walking. All moving cars have lasers and parked cars shield you from the lasers.

Also, the gap in between two squares of cement on the sidewalks have lava, make sure to not step over the gap.

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 6 points 2 weeks ago

I had a cheetah running along, occasionally a horse. But not in the city, only on the motorway

[–] RandomStickman@fedia.io 6 points 2 weeks ago

I had a dragon flying along side. Sometimes it's a bike dodging opposing traffic and jumping ramps

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 weeks ago

You guys got a window seat?

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

I just spent 15 minutes trying to figure out wtf anime that is on the top because the style looks like exactly what I'm into, and it turns out I've already seen it lmao

Bubblegum Crisis, it's rad as fuck

I took my Dramamine so I could read without vomiting.

Reminded me of this short film (that’s clearly sponsored by the North Face) from a a few years ago. https://youtu.be/IXw17Cjbeeo

I'm an adult and I still do this lol.

[–] late_night@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 weeks ago

It was the line painted on the side of the road that was zooming this way and that to keep up with the car. Sometimes it would snake away to a rest stop and then merge with us again after the exit.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Mine was an invisible flying squirrel jumping and gliding between tree tops at 110 km/h...

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 weeks ago

It's more fun in a high speed train

[–] AkatsukiLevi@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

I loved sonic riders, so instead of the Lil dude doing parkour, he had a hoverboard to do sick tricks Sometimes the Lil dude was tony hawks
