Big Wheels core memory! 😁🤘🔥

my brother was the kid on the box in the early 70's

That’s amazing 🤩

Epic

This is gonna hurt, but the glory was worth it.

@TheLucyShow1 One more reason why Gen X rules.

Now roll it a little. I guarantee there is a pebble inside one of the wheels

The year was 1974. The machine: a Big Wheel, sun-bleached and indestructible. The driver: seven years old, shoeless, operating on Kool Aid and bad ideas. Legend says the first drift wasn’t discovered, it was accidental. A sharp turn at the bottom of the cul-de-sac. A panic grab of the hand brake. The rear wheel locked. Physics blinked. The Big Wheel slid sideways in a perfect, glorious arc. Time slowed. The neighborhood fell silent as melted plastic screamed against concrete. When the dust settled, the rider looked back, nodded once, and said nothing, because true pioneers never explain themselves. Drifting didn’t start in the mountains. It started at the bottom of a suburban driveway, at 12 mph, with plastic wheels, scraped elbows, and absolutely no concern for resale value.

I wish they made an adult version of this!! The iconic Green Machine Big Wheel!!

Mine was Dukes of Hazard. I tried to ride to the store. We lived on a highway. I got in so much trouble with that thing. But it was worth it.

Lucky 😅

The reason I got in so much trouble was because my little brother came with me. He followed me on his. Right down the shoulder of the highway. We probably made close to 3/4 of a mile before we were stopped. The hill was a lot of fun. 🤣

Once the front wheel cracked the fun was over

I was a super spreader of micro plastics 😆

I had this bad boy

Had that exact same one! 🙌🏾

I saw a clip a while back. Where they make adult sizes now. Could you imagine if we rode them today?😅😂. They'd probably make regulations for helmets 🤣no thanks. Its a ride or die toy .

Knight Rider big wheel was the shit. I wore the shit out of those tires drifting around corner I turned.

Oh yeaaa!!

Knight Rider was my first Big Wheel from K-Mart. Crazy seeing this

She’s got some miles on her.

My neighbors had this one growing up We used to ride it down the hill beside their house into the briar patch

Me and my cousin had Dukes of hazard big wheels. I had the General and he was Roscoe lol.

Mine was a little different...

I had a Knight Rider Big Wheel!!! 🤣

Night rider.. Michael night and kitt.

Way better than the one I had 🤣

Now if you look up big wheels, you have to buy directly from their company...and most of them have no handbrake.

I can still hear the rumble of the big wheel bombing down the street in my mind.

I had 1 of those in the 80's 😁

I absolutely love the music. Night rider was my shit! So was the big wheel! They absolutely go perfect together 🤣🤣🤣

@karl_diesel I loved my big wheels

night rider edition

Knight Rider version. Yeah, my brain says it could ride one of those, my body says, "Shut up, moron."

@FLCons Good times!! Love the brake spin out!

@AprilSpark1890 Knight Rider edition…cool, but too New🤣 Orange with tassles out the hand grips, classic

Later model. The first was red & yellow. I loved that darn thing! Then the green machine came out. Still preferred the original big wheel.

The X-15 was a way better ride.
