I have been looking for a Big Wheel style GreenMachine for my niece since I figured I would have an excuse to have one at my disposal if I got it for her. That's when I came accross this!!:

Yeah, we loved our big wheels. I can still remember the sound of plastic wheels on concrete.

Hell yes. My friend tommy lived next door to me and we got them on the same day. We rode those things into the ground...I don't think they were meant to catch air....:lol:

There's a company that makes adult Big Wheels, but they are no longer available on the market. I saw a build up of a Green Machine that was modified with longer tubes and crankset, as well as a bigger seat to accommodate an adult - now that would be sweet.
Nope, never had a Big Wheel or Green Machine... but I did have a Krazy Kar and that's WAY better than a Big Wheel ever was!

Pfft. :rolleyes:
Big Wheel? Looked like fun, but I think I was 12 when they were out and, dam it, they didn't fit :p
Now that Green machine looks fun (love go-karts). However that looks like it could be a few of the many rides I had on some homemade go-karts that I crashed, took out a fence, jumped a ditch or two, lots of bandaids (big arse bandaids!) and road rash galore (but still fun - and fun to help build). Life of a tomboy! :p

I met one of my very best childhood friends while I was riding my big wheel. I was patroling my block on my big wheel, and happened accross this new kid on a green machine. So I rolled up to him, asked what he was doing, and we were friends after that.
