I had a green machine  ;D



And I lived on a court that was a huge hill - it was great.

Weird you thought you were too old for a little toy then, yet IIRC, you currently own a scooter  :P

Yeah. When I was that young I was worried about what other people thought. Then I grew up.

There weren't Big Wheels when I was a kid.

Instead I had a Pedal Car.

They were really cool but you couldn't go very fast 'cause the pedals got going to fast back and forth and your feet got caught in them.

I don't remember my first Big Wheel because I never had one. They came out when I was in the 3rd grade, which is a bit old for a tricycle.

huh....i got mine when i was in first grade.
used it at least through 4th grade.
If you drive the nicest car in the neighborhood, work in a cash business, and don't pay taxes, you're either a preacher or a drug dealer...

Same here...the neighbours could hear me coming down the hill with the sound of the hollow hard plastic wheels scraping the tarmac.  [evil]

I don't know about you guys but i went thru my big wheels real fast. i would wear out the front tire all the time. My parents then wised up and got me one that had a rubber band around the front wheel so it would last longer but then i wore out the rear wheels.  I even had one that was from the A-team and had a picture of the van in the front. Man i miss those days.
I live vicariously thru myself......
