I had a green machine  Grin



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  Tongue

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.

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.
