When you grow up in a small town in the north woods, you have to make your own excitement. High spirits, idiocy, and showing off for the girls inspire Gary Paulsen and his friends to attempt: - Shooting waterfalls in a barrel - The first skateboarding - Jumping three barrels like motorcycle daredevil Evel Knievel–except they only have bikes - Hangliding with an Army surplus target kite - Bungee jumping - Wrestling... a bear? Extreme sports lead to extreme fun in new tales from Gary's boyhood.
