I cant open that on my crappy computer. When I was a kid I was 13 years old when I saw my first big wheel. I wore out the rear wheel "drifting" it in the neighbourhood I lived in. Of course we didnt call it drifting then. And I was small for my age so I could fit in one still.

Those are Huffy Sliders, to the best of my knowledge they were last available in 2005 in Australia. I don't know if they were ever sold officially in the states, I've seen used models on ebay.au but the shipping is huge.

I did find this Korean site selling something similar but I have no idea if they will ship to the US.

Huffy still sells the "Green Machine" in the US but it steers with a set of levers instead of the logical headset and bars.
