Wham-O Daredevils

This 1966 commercial for the Wham-O Wheelie Bar really brings back a lot of memories.  I would have been 7 or 8 years old depending on when the commercial first appeared.  I had a sting ray bike.   I rode/loved that bike like a singing cowboy loved his horse.    I never had a Wham-O Wheelie Bar though.

Besides the nostalgia factor of the commercial, I also found it interesting that kids riding the bikes in the commercial were riding with no helmets, barefoot, and down the middle of the street.  They were also standing on the seat and doing tricks [things that we all did or at least tried back in the day] but that would never pass the safety standards of today.
