Your childhood dreams may have been dashed, but you can race one as an adult, down a Mountan road!

Wow. Crazy. I'd like to try that at 5/10ths. I wonder what speeds they were hitting, other than too fast.

They've been around a while and are pretty cool. 

One pops up at about the 50sec mark:

I like the "no hands" driving style.

I did. With my brother, in the road, in the buff, while it was raining. Why you ask?

That looks hella fun. I have a Razor drift trike at home which is way too much fun.

As a kid, the Big Wheel had not been invented yet, not by about 15 years. This is me at speed in the Giordani Indianapolis I still own.

Sweet ride I would have given away the sweets in my school lunch for the whole year in trade for it!

I did, I burned through two or three of them from accelerating as hard as my feet could pedal (spinning the front wheel doing 'burnouts') and drifting through corners with the rear brake thing locked up as hard as I could.

Too old for the Big Wheel here also.

We had Radio Flyer wagons and pedal cars.

Still have my fire truck. Sadly, I don't fit in it any more.

I have the bell, ladders and ladder racks, but the flashing light is gone.
