Heheh.. neither one! What *I* always wanted when they came out were them "green machines".. puts the ole big wheel to shame, imho.. Anyone else remember 'em?

Were those " Brake Levers" ???

 

[stuwee]

OMG Jerry, Hell Yeah!! I'd ruined my Big Wheel, drove the rear wheels off, dad bought a new pair with HD circlips, then I flat spotted the front wheel and broke the seat holes during BanZai runs down the neighbors driveway . Dad said that was enough of that shit , poor Pa...but he got me a Schwinn StingRay next year I wrecked that too, wound up in the ER with a split chin, Mom screaming Stop buying him these deadly devices, Hehe, little did they know...COGITO...ERGO ZOOM!!!!!!!

That's how you steered! Awesome... you get up a good amount of speed, and then yank the rear wheels all the way over and spin out.. or tumble over end over end, lol.

Uh Oh, bad sign! You sure it wasn't PINK??

 

[jbeckva]

Nope weren't pink. And the pedals were definitely black and silver... How'd I know that? Because I was soo busy watching them go 'round when I was five that I didn't notice that parked truck I proceeded to run into. 17 stitches.. I was a war hero in kindergarten.. heheh

 

[laatsch55]

Stitches were a badge of honor!!
