Bernal Heights old-timers will tell you about the days when children used to love sliding down Bernal Hill on a piece of cardboard. Today we live in more extreme times, with ready access to video documentation tools, so this is how it’s done it now: no cardbord required.

I need some of what he’s got.
I was one of those kids who slid down Bernal on a cardboard sled.
Ever slide down ripley?
This is dangerous and reckless!
and awesome.
Young and reckless. I remember those days.
Dork.
Hope the dogs weren’t there first!!
Apparently not an issue for him.
