A 1975 Big Wheel commercial.

It didn’t get much better than this.

@ReneeNey019 This was so much better!

Haha 💘

@Johnnybythelake I loved my big wheel 😆😆😆 I pedaled the shit out of that thing lol

How about a 1978 Green Machine commercial.

@SharylAttkisson And when you’re outgrew the pedals, you threw the seat away and put your foot where the seat was, and pushed yourself with the other foot. That extended the life of its awesomeness! !

Fuck those, I had this

We were raised on Starsky and Hutch and the like, and the concept of power sliding thru a playground and taking out some perps was unsupressable

they needed to sell spare tires for those one full day usage and i blew the back tire out

how many of you wore through the back wheels with that powerslide?

i wanted one but we were too poor when i was 13 years later when they werent in fashion anymore i saw one on a curb trash pile i had to try it, me & my teen buddies rode it into the ground for 2 days tiil there were flat spots from doing drifts on it♥️... lol ghetto life😎

And they wonder why boomers are so tough

So much nostalgia in those 25 seconds!

@IJV144938 Loved riding the Big Wheel as a kid!

Fun fact no one liked the brake attachment. It was cooler to just turn and skid. To do that you needed both hands on the bars. The brake was lame

Can still hear the sound outside of those things’ loud plastic wheels grinding asphalt on hot-summer streets! 🌞

While y’all was playing around, I was riding the bucket seat 🤣 straight tom boy all the way 🤔

@mc_rawhide40 Remember when you rode it so much or crashed it into a curb and it crushed the roundness of the front wheel. We still rode them and bounced down the road.

I had a Rambo Big Wheel 😂

As an 80s kid, it saddens me that a generation never knew what it was like to come flying down a hill with no helmet on to hit a ramp and fly over parked bikes on one of these things… Without spilling the Yahoo in my left hand. ☠️😂

Me in 1975-ish.

I had one. Loved it. Wish I still had one.

The girls are just egging these daredevils on.

Pure 70s chaos that parents regretted instantly! Which retro toy commercial still gives you that instant nostalgia rush? 🛞😆

Here is my 1975 Big Wheel commercial.

@SharylAttkisson Our Big Wheel didn’t have any brakes. These came out later because GenXers are wimps.

Essential piece of machinery for a kid back then.

Back in those days there was fun for kids... And now…

I had a Hot Cycle

I bought one for my son back in 1976 or 7

The Absolute best

Yes, I had one and so did most of my friends in the neighborhood. We had so much fun being outside doing the simple things that kids love. Gen X developed our values from these days.

Yep … bingo
