I am in love with these things. This looks like so much fun. Anyone know where these can be purchased? I noticed that the wheel keeps turning even after they stop peddling. Are these things handmade? If so, where do they get the "frames"? See video below:

It looks like its just the old school "big wheels" plastic wheels in back and thats kinda what it sounds like too.
I think I had seen a tricycle similar to that with different rear wheels at Toys R Us when I was shoping for my sons B/Day last month.

 

I was doing that in K-5 with big wheels.... Been there done that. But That looks fun as hell though

 

Daaaaaamn

I would totally rock the hell out of one of those.

 

Same here, vid is old too. Does look pretty fun and took me back a bit watching it.

 

I burned through the plastic front tires way to fast (too much torque) it seems as if these have rubber fronts which would have been awesome.

 

^^ truth!

 

At the end one of them looks like it has a hand brake, too. Crazy.

I'm surprised there weren't more rolls in that video, haha.

 

Ah, memories! I remember when my parents got pissed when I put mine through the basement wall riding it down the stairs!

 

Stu pid!

 

maybe you could click the link at the bottom of the video?

they were doing these on nitro circus this week...pretty crazy

 

big wheels with the plastic wheels circa 1989

 

The wheel keeps spinning due to a bearing called a freewheel.

 

deinately had a smurf big wheel when i was like 5, broke it. then christmas i got a batman one ... best christmas.

 

tricycle drifters haha

 

WTF is a peddle drifter?
all i see is some three wheel pedal driven bikes drifting
do you see a beggar anywhere? cause i don't

 

i want one now time to start doing some fab work lol

 

Damn, I wanna know where you can find those wheels+cranks, or do you think they fabbed 'em up themselves? I've never seen freewheel ones before.

 

Needs exhaust and blow-off valve sound effects.

 

That road looks nice too - for big wheels and regular cars

 

their simple trycicles with upgraded pedals...and they put those tonka toy battery kids cars wheels in the back, so it can slide,

 

pretty lame.

they slide for 3 seconds tops, and its back to going straight.

 

Those are people that didn't make it into the "drifting" world. lol.

 

Did you even watch the video? They slid full 180 degree turns the whole way...

 

no
