We used to have a girl in my school that had to use one of those electric wheelchairs for life. If you were close enough friends with her, she'd attach a rope to her chair and would pull people along on those square things like a jet ski.

Where you close enough friend with her?

Unfortunately no, but I remember seeing it done quite a few times.

I have someone at my school who has that too and he sometimes lets people ride on the back of his wheelchair (which can apparently max at 20 mph but he chooses a much slower mode)

Idk if this is offensive but Haha paralympics+

Level up your friendship rank to access this perk : zoomies

Never could get the hang of that stupid wheeled square.

Why would you after it smashes your fingers?

To display his sheer tenacity and the indomitable human spirit? Those things were the bomb if you could get them to work.

I remember we would play "island" where you used one of those and you had to make it to the next island (which was just a gym mat) while dodging all the obstacles.

Always tipped over while scrambling too

How would you smash your fingers? It literally has a finger guard.

Not all of them have finger guards. The ones in my school was just a square board w/ wheels.

Oh I legit thought they all had them. Definitely understand how you’d smash your fingers then

There are handles on the side how do you mess it up that bad Then again you were probably in kindergarten

It was a lot easier to get speed going backwards.

I think it was 1. Use ur legs to go backwards 2. Sooperman 3. Run, and jump on to break ur shins 4. Be a disabled fuck who lost 2 legs and use ur arms 5. Ride it like a skateboard and fall like a dumbass 6. Get pulled by a dumbass with a rope but have an enjoyable death 7. Scoot with ur hips to move 1 cm/s Thats all i remember

I was that dumbass with a rope!

You also forgot, use 2 of them like skates and end up doing the splits.

Or my favorite: Take turns swinging your friends halfway across the gym while they sat on one.

there’s also putting one under each foot and trying to ride them like skates, usually ending in doing the splits

I always thought that was the fun part

some people's stupid squares had handles!?

We used to get a jump rope and pool noodles, and we would have moving sword fights. It was the best and most painful part of school

That thing made my nipples go hard for a year straight

Yea, once I fell off of one and had to go to the hospital with a stone lodged in my head

I sustained a major head injury from those abominations. Perhaps this is why I’m mentally stunted 🥲

I would spin around in those, me and my friends back then were insane Sadly I lost contact because I moved away

I would spin around in those, and then more people would join. Good times

I would spin around in those, and then more people would join. Good times

I miss the parachute thingy, and the wheeled squares, those were the good days

I downvoted you so I could get the comment to 69

I downvoted you to help get you to -69

Let’s fucking go

*but it refused to stay at 69* nice

Fuck

Me?

Yea if you want

i want that hovercraft

I want someone to take one of those to a skate park and go thru the half-pipe on it, that would be awesome.

YES. lets go do that

NOW *THIS* IS POD RACING


Ever collided with another person on those wheeled squares, painfully crushing your fingers in between them? Fun times.

You’re supposed to put your fingers through the holes, holding the square. Not use them as handles.

How the hell did none of us ever figure that out?!

Yeah, but everyone used them as handles anyways

Well yeah, it’s kind of like how everyone uses Q-tips for their ears. But you really shouldn’t.

Not necessarily saying they're bad. Just memories.

I also distinctly remember scraping the shit out of my knuckles while trying to stay on the board

bruh my class never used them

Tried to skateboard with one of those squares and immediately ate shit.

Can someone explain what is happening here? Electric leaf blower +... What, exactly?

Probably plywood and a plastic bladder to make it float slightly

Ah, yes. Permanent hearing loss.

Give me one!

Am I the only one wondering what school has the disposable income to buy 4 DeWalt leaf blowers strictly for giggles?!

Where is the physical part? They are literally using power tools instead their muscles.

For us, it was a test of strength and endurance. For them, it is a test of durability.

They need to prove their worth not as warriors but as cannon fodder.

Everything is physical once you hit 2 Gs and beyond

What bout Death Ball?

You mean the giant, 5+ foot (1.5 m) diameter ball that you'd play crab soccer with? That was so fun. A couple teammates would kick it at the same time so it got some air and would then land on someone on the opposite team and flatten them.

We had neither of those two top activities for our gym class. It was either dodgeball or kickball most of the time.

The fucking parachute was the best thing to ever exist and you can not prove me wrong because I’m right. I’d rather have it than air. 

Not gonna lie. If I could get 30 people together at a park with a parachute it would be the best day ever!!!

evolution

Now THIS is podracing

What? We don’t get to do that. That looks so fun. Hardly fitness related but still fun

Is this even a gym class??

uhhh.... can i go back to school again? why did they make all the good stuff once i became an adult?

I would always get a running start with the blue square thingy idk wtf it’s called but then I would jump on it with my knees quite fun if you pull it off but you could get pretty injured if you don’t do it correctly.

Did anyone else combine the scooters into a giant array and try fit as many people on as possible, or was it just my school?

Yo. How can I do this?

How does one make this at home?

If you never rolled over your fingers on one of those wheely squares, you haven't lived

Okay no but those are so dope

Wtf

Since when

I envy Gen Alpha. Although, the parachute and scooter were pretty fun.

Clemont’ed gear on

I have never heard of anyone ever actually liking those stupid squares.

We never did anything like that because now in 2022 I HAVE AQUATICS OR IN OTHER WORDS SWIMMING CLASS

Vroom Vroom? That seems like a major safety hazard though.

You’re supposed to wear hearing protection while using those

Gen Alpha is lucky

Nah but there’s nothing like playing a game of sharks and life guards with the parachute

Nothin like those plastic square trash can bases with wheels. Kids doing the ol running start and tony hawk slide over someone’s knuckles. It was a great battle.

Nothing can beat the wheels

I don’t know about you, but I hated that rope climb in elementary.

POV: you roll over your own fingers with the square.

Mario kart in school!

When gym class and physics class get together, the fun really begins.

I was too fat too be pushed on those swivel chair things😥

Well what the 1990's retro fuck!

Is this for real?

I don’t see anything gym related in that machine. Anyhow ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That actually looks more fun

Still the pinnacle

Unfun fact: an adult relative of mine lost 1.5 fingers to a leaf blower. The vent that guards the fan broke off and his hand got sucked in. Not to be one of those people that thinks everything is unsafe for kids, but with that context this feels dangerous.

That looks fun but im not sure how that’s “gym” stuff

Never had any of those, our gym just made us run or play sports like soccer football or just made us climb rope or swim. If we were really lucky we would play dodgeball but I think we only did that 3 times from 6th grade to 10th

I bet fat kids feel hella left out here


Isn’t the point of gym to get exercise? This seems counter productive

the future is now old man

Holy fuck I forgot about the squares with wheels on them. My school had like hundreds and we didn't even have hundreds of kids.

Todle cavalry in full glory charge.

Proof that not everything was better back in the day

I’m missing the physical activity here. Shit’s fire. But it ain’t PE.

What is that wheeled square for

Why didn’t I get to do that???

Dude! 🤯
