Ok this came out of a Shinning convo Carly and I had. How many of u know what a Big Wheel is? Do they still make them? Do u know anyone that still uses them? lol...
I really hope they weren't deemed "dangerous" as so many older childhood toys have been. They were all plastic, so I hope they still make them!
See I wonder because I had a gas powered 3 wheeler growing up. They went away because they said they were unstable, they went to 4 wheelers. I have to say on the Big Wheel, going really fast and using that break was so cool. lol
I had a Big Wheel. It was freaking awesome. But I remember thinking it was just a toy compared to The Green Machine. And when we saw one in the store, I was upset by the fact that I wasn't old enough to get one. Very intimidating.
They still make them. How many did you go through by skidding on the front tire? I think I had at least three.
Amen brother. My mom used to actually send me outside to specifically do this from time to time. And to answer Rabbit, I also got to three from skidding a flat spot on the front wheel.
I had a Voltron big wheel when I was a kid. Back before soccer moms and facebooks ruined everything lol And it wasn't a hand me down I had it brand new. See if you can guess how old I am lol
Yea... the Nanny State mentality has ruined childhood in my opinion. The 80's were the last bastion of freedom before everything went to hell...
I had a Green Machine when I was kid, I think I was in the 3rd grade back then and I thought I was the coolest kid on the block for having one lol. I was a master at doing spin outs on that thing.
