Hit the water slides

Leave it to Garrett to get your mind off anything important.

That dude's the master. We went out back and shot hoops, watched the tube, and talked about hitting the water slides this summer.

why back here? to the backyard?

What kind of game is it, hitting the water slides?
  

Top answer

"back" here is backyard, the cement driveway in the back of the house, the alleyway with the hoop - anything behind the house / in the back of the house. Most likely just the backyard. " It's not a game, just doing something.

"hitting the water slides" means "went on the water slides." It's not a game, just doing something. Like "hitting the books" means "studying" and "hitting the bars" means "going to bars and drinking."
