Tristan is a sweet, curious, and active little boy. 
Yesterday he decided that it would be so much FUN to ram into the fence over and over with the tricycle he was riding. 
This, as anyone who is around little boys knows, is not at all unusual behavior. 
Therefore, I saw no harm in allowing him to go to town with this ALL BOY activity. My two boys saw what fun he was having. Soon after, all three decided it would be kicked up many notches on the danger scale if they decided to add a hill in order to increase their speed and get an even bigger impact crashing into the fence below. 
They patiently took turns going down the hill on the trike. 
Some ended with a successful and satisfying
crash against the fence. 
And others...well...not so much. 
But all in all, no one left with bumps or bruises and I think we just might be trying this again some time. 
Thanks for the idea, Tristan!!
