The drifting you could do because they were plastic was awesome. Remember the Green Machine?

Same, I had the knight rider big wheel. We also had a hose/sprinkler car was thing too.

Then my family moved to a rural town with no sidewalks and the fun was over until I could ride a BMX.

The adult ones have metal or PVC coated wheels on the back for drifting. You can see it in the pic.

Betting they're awesome, but I guess there's a small chance meth is involved.

In moderation, just about any drug only makes this more awesome.

I think the cutoff to that rule is probably meth, heroin, and whatever that crocodile drug is.

Waah wahh. Poor baby can't hold his krokodil

LOL…don’t make me chug some Krokodil to show you all. Thinking that’s how the zombie apocalypse kicks off.

Since today meth = fentanyl, that doesn't really hold true. It's just a quick ticket to schizophrenia.

Apparently the average meth addict today suffers from monthly overdoses... We've got guys who overdose pretty much every week who are passed out in front of our business. The local paramedics have these guys penciled on their weekly schedule.

Do we have a "just guys being dudes" community yet? It's one of my favorite topics. Men playing around having fun.

Just like when you were a kid. Roll up on your big wheel and start talking to them. Fend off taunts from their leader until they accept you, or tackle him and put him in a headlock until he gives up. Afterwards you hug it out and become fast friends.

I'd take this over dirt bikes doing wheelies up and down the road for hours on end.

Hell yes. Especially when I find them on the interstate - always think about how potentially horrific and traumatizing it would be if they fell off coming out of the wheelie

We have a few dickheads with fourwheelers in my neighborhood. It's so fucking annoying. I'd love for them to get big wheels instead.

People pay for gyms so they can get this same healthy exercise, without the fun! Seems pretty safe too, just like for kids, because they're hard to tip over and not far to fall.

I bet these are quieter than dirt bikes. Even with the plastic drift wheels.

I'd rock up with a Green Machine, and command immediate respect.

You know there's one dad trailering a cooler full of insert favorite beer here. This actually sounds like a great time.

Wouldn’t your knees bump into the steering wheel / handlebars? Or do they mod them?
