My pops lives at the top of an old logging road, Bat-man bigwheel down that sucker was the jam.

i never had one :(

played on my neighbors though, but by the time they got theirs I was already on a bike, started early think 6ish

I used to ride several of them. Remember getting holes in the plastic. I tried to ride one again when I was 16 and drunk could barely pedal it but i did like a 5 block long skid down a steep hill until the wheel wore down to a flat, then I wrecked. twas great

I rode mine till the front wheel had a split down the center and the rear wheels had holes. My dad brought home a used bike and tossed the big wheel in the dumpster one night. When I woke up and found my big wheel missing and the bike in it's place I was very upset. My mom assured me that my dad would teach me to ride the bike when he got home from work but I taught myself by lunchtime.

I thought this thread was going to be about this:

OK, who used to take the seat off of it, and run behind it and jump on it on their knees and bomb hills? I used to wear holes in the toes of my shoes doing this, and eventually the "chassis" would cave in, and end up scraping holes in the bottom, around the time the wheels were all totally shot. Priceless childhood memories.

know exactly what you mean, though I used to just run up behind and modified dukes of hazard mount it over the back of the seat. I want to build a legit version with a unicycle wheel I think...

I had the knight rider one, the one with the side brake to make it skid out (i never did quite get the hang of that though, but then again, maybe i was a bit of a slow child). I remember being pissed that it didnt talk to me (come to think of it, i was a VERY slow child).

My Bigwheel was red, but turned pink after a couple of years parked in the sun and rain. I got it as a reward for eating my veggies. And now my son is such a picky eater...hmmm.

mine kicked ***, the coolest was putting dirt in the seat holes so you could pretend like smoke was coming out of the back drain whole..... though they did have a tendency for the tires to go flat..... but th

I was all about riding like this. That's probably why I'm big on frame-standers now.

yeah! that's the one i had too, i always enjoyed the "e-brake"

I grew up in minnesota on a lake and my dad drilled screws into the front wheel of my big wheel so I could ride around on the ice. Amazing.

Damn, i miss my big wheel! Bombing downhill and doing skids allll day. Good times.

Anyone wear out the plastic tires so much that there'd just be holes in em? Hahahaa! Rocks and gravel all up inside!

Doing the same with a power wheels being pulled behind a truck is ****ing great

I had a PAC MAN big wheel. It was swell. but i don't remember being short enough to pedal, just shoved it down a hill and jumped on. course i was 14 when i got it.....
