Loved my green machine! Rode it around the neighborhood until the front wheel finally came apart.

Marx was right

I had one of these. Of course I lived in the country miles away from pavement.

Bought one at a garage sale when I was around 14. I barely fit in it, but it was awesome.

No, this is a big wheel but cooler.

Fuck yeah it was cooler. It was designed for drifting.

I had the General Lee.

So this is the image the slop machine trained on..

One of the greatest toys ever. So many injuries. No regrets.

We could not afford it, but my cousin had one and we woukd take turns flinging ourselves down their ridiculously steep and long driveway.

Seize the means of propulsion!

I'll let myself out

We used to play stuntman on our big wheels. We had a hill with grass on it. We'd watch Evil Kneival specials, The 6 Million Dollar Man, and then we'd go launch ourselves off our big wheels into the bushes, inadvertantly finding rocks with our kneecaps and the like. I still have the scars to prove it.

These Green Machines were for the fancy kids. I still don't understand them. you're using the sticks to turn? What? Why did they make it more complicated than a tractor? There's no brake. You have your pedals. That's it. Big Wheels had a big ol brake you could slam onto one rear tire, force a drifting effect or even spin completely 180 degrees around. I'm surely distorting the facts with my version of memories here.

I'm a little surprised it was marketed to "8, 9, 10 years old". I'm pretty sure I'd graduated from a big wheeler to an actual bicycle by that age.

Had one, yes I'm that old :/

Hottest ride in town!

Especially if you left it outside in the hot Arizona sun.

Did this toy injure a bunch of kids or something? It didn't survive the natural selection process of toy brands.

I HAD ONE. IT WAS LEGENDARY.

Well, my family had one... That counts. Had to share it.

Did this just brake the rear wheels individually to steer?

I had a hand me down one, most uncomfortable backbreaking seat ever but good lord was it worth it.

Looks cooler than the recliner bikes they make these days. Does it come in adult size?

I really, really wanted one of these. But it wasn't to be.

Is this how Hexbear got started?
