and if you notice there is no hand brake on the original.

LMFAO!!!...I had one of those..and even still rode it around when the plastic wheels split a part at the side...hahaha

Hmmmm, I think I know what my kids are getting this year for Christmas!

OMG THATZ FRIGGIN' COOL !!!!!

Remember when i snapped the entire front end off riding down a ditch ... ripped straight thru the plastic ..... mom told me to throw it away and of course i wanted to DUCK tape it ............. Bad Idea # 1 ... after that failed attempt i was told a 2nd time to THROW IT AWAY ... but my bright idea / Bad idea #2 ... was that i wanted to keep it to learn how to ride a unicycle . .... i Busted my @ss so bad my mom felt bad for me she got me a old used one from a garage sale few weeks later .... sigh .... b'sides the dent in my head ... those were the good times ....

DO YOU GUYS REMEMBER THE GREEN MACHINE ? ... IT WAS LIKE A BIGWHEEL BUT HAD TWO LEVERS TO DRIVE IT WITH ... SUM BITCH KID IN MY APARTMENTS GOT THAT 4 X-MAS AND SOMEHOW MY 2ND HAND BIG -WHEEL DIDNT APEAL TO ME NO MORE . DAYUM THAT THING WUZ COOL

I had a metal one, damn kids today with their newfangled plastic toys.

HAHAHAHA!!!

And yeah Cyber....
I had a green-machine as well....I remember one of the levers broke on one side...but I kept going down the street....dang...the hell we put those things thru.

To be a kid or to have kids.

I had a flat wheels on mine.

The Big Wheel's wheel is still a fantastic piece
of design.

Never owned one myself - had a lethal lime-green,
metal Tonka truck instead; then after that, a
decent go-kart capable of hand-brake turns.

Admit it D. This is why you are selling your CD's!

Alright, confession time. I'm actually trying to
fund a 'Bigger Wheel'. Twice the size, and incapable
of imploding should I plonk my fat arse on it -
'vroom vrooming' up the streets like a total
mentalist'. [img]wink.gif[/img]

PS. Glad to see you survived the backwoods.

Thanks, it was a trying time indeed. You want to know what a redneck looks like? I've seen HUNDREDS recently!!!

Do they really have red necks?
