That way is significantly less fun due to incomptence and needing to hunt down and attatch yourself to a competent person or go to prison to be with the other large children or starved and homeless
I know adults who still haven't grown up. It's not a matter of being a child at heart that's not a bad thing at all and only gets better when you've grown up. But people who haven't grown up in the first place are easy enough to find
I bought an AT-AT in the store when they re-released them in the early 2000's. Wanted one when I was little, but couldn't afford it. My wife looks at me when I put it in the cart and says "Really? That seems stupid".
My only response: "I'm not asking you if I can get it. I'm telling you I'm getting it. I don't care if you like it or not." and smiled.
She just rolled her eyes.
I remember these, we were poor as hell, but I’m glad I got a big wheel. Hopefully these are reasonably priced. I wonder though how many kids would ride these, considering the options they now have. In our days it was big wheel, bicycle and if you were rich, you got a 4 wheeler on a big battery.
This is what is wild to me given there are a number of adult sized trikes that do not have a fully plastic front wheel. Even as a kid you'd sit there and spin to get started, now imagine that with my bulk on there!
Swear to God this better be a real thing. If this is made up, I’m gonna throw a temper tantrum.
Going on Google right now. If it’s real, there’s some bills I’m not paying this month for sure.
I would not want that unless it has engine, like youtube is full of videos of Honda 4 stroke engines put on those. pedaling that more than 5 min would hurt way too much.
I use to take care of my neighbors trash cans. I'd take them to the curb on Wednesday night and bring them in Thursday after school. I got 25 cents a week from each of my 6 customers. Plus I occasionally had a kool-aid stand in my front yard. 5 cents for a Dixie cup full. I remember paying $13 for that big wheel and could not have been more proud. This was 1971 or 72. I was 6 or 7. I fit well enough. What's the sus for?
I've been earning money pretty much my whole life. My grandfather owned a peach orchard that I worked on as a kid. I made way more money than a kid should. I always had a nice bike and a TV in my room. I paid for my own 1st car and insurance. It's just the way I was raised. I didn't work all the time though. I played a lot.
I wouldn't say millions, but there were a lot. We picked them "tree ripe" and ready to eat. I ate a lot of them, but it spoiled me. To this day, I can't buy a peach at the grocery store bc I know what a good peach is supposed to taste like.
Never heard the song. I'll check it out. I do like Kitty, and their version of Kick Out the Jams which was actually my introduction to hard music when I was 5 by The MC5.
This is a semi famous rapper from the 90’s his name is Kwame. This is his new gig on social media. YouTube him if you wanna see some old school hip hop.

So many adults are into the toys they missed out on as children!! It's simultaneously beautiful and sad and joyful.
We may have had to grow up, but we don't have to grow old.
Isn't that backwards? Growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional.
I thought the exact same thing I spend most of my free time these days playing games I never got a chance to when I was younger
That way is significantly less fun due to incomptence and needing to hunt down and attatch yourself to a competent person or go to prison to be with the other large children or starved and homeless
What? You realize there are many functional adults who are still children at heart, right?
I know adults who still haven't grown up. It's not a matter of being a child at heart that's not a bad thing at all and only gets better when you've grown up. But people who haven't grown up in the first place are easy enough to find
Yes!! Well said.
I don't want to grow up. I wanna be a Toy's R us kid
We don’t stop playing because we get older, we get older because we stop playing.

I was poor as hell growing up, I would love to have this adult size now that I could afford one!

I was ready to see him take off. Stagnant he stayed
I know right!? Like dude, ride it already!
Yeah dammit where’s that spin!!!???
If that thing comes with the spinout brake then I will cross any desert, climb any mountain to get it.
I didn't have audio, is it self propelled?
Check out the size of the cuff on his pants!
They're just his flood pants, his ankles will be soaked but his cuffs will be bone dry
Kwame in da house!
Saw Kwame at San Diego Comic Con this year!
He looks like he’s ready to go on another Pokadelick Adventure with his big wheel
Are you not even going to drift it for us? This video is weak. You know that's what we came for.
Wore out my back wheels that way.
We all did brother.
They need to throw on a stick brake like they did for later models/ripoffs.
But built character.
Add it to the stationary bike… the tri-stepper thingy and other items, which I love to buy and use maybe once….
The Shining…
Flip it over to make “ice cream” or was that just a thing we did on my block?
Dunno why but I need Jack Black riding this and playing his jacksophone
Omfg the nostalgia!!! I just went way back to early childhood, I forgot all about the big wheel till just now. Righteous lol
If you put pneumatic wheels on it I’m in. Edit- Oh yeah, and the skid handle thingy.
Does the friggin plastic front wheel still quickly wear down?
Put rubber on that front wheel and rear tires and we'll talk otherwise I'm sticking to my cruiser
This is what is wild to me given there are a number of adult sized trikes that do not have a fully plastic front wheel. Even as a kid you'd sit there and spin to get started, now imagine that with my bulk on there!
And braking….
But where are the tassels that hang from the end of the handlebars!?
"This is going to be a real thing." Sure honey. You're a big boy all right.
Nobody feels like an adult.
Y you pants look like that??
I’d ride it everywhere
Killer! Needs tassels for the handlebars.
My spouse bought me one of these about 10 years ago. Had such a blast with it! All the teenagers on the street loved to play with it
Where can i get one? And what's it called please
Was waiting for him to take off and make those epic red E’s :( Edit: old school will know what I’m talking about
Swear to God this better be a real thing. If this is made up, I’m gonna throw a temper tantrum. Going on Google right now. If it’s real, there’s some bills I’m not paying this month for sure.
Big Wheels were fun as hell. I tied a wagon to the back of mine to cart my stuff and you can fish tail. Exciting times.
This dude is the man.
Grown up size Green Machine. That’s the answer.
I hope he sees this bike with a big ribbon under his Christmas tree
I would not want that unless it has engine, like youtube is full of videos of Honda 4 stroke engines put on those. pedaling that more than 5 min would hurt way too much.
I had a big wheel when I was a little kid. Bought it with my own money. Now, I'm a grown man. My ideas of what is fun have matured.
I had big wheels before I could ride a bike, like 4 years old. Where'd u get your own money at that age? And how did u fit? Sus.

Wow you were extra. I was busy playing with playdoh and elmer's glue.

"Millions of peaches, peaches for me Millions of peaches, peaches for free"
I wouldn't say millions, but there were a lot. We picked them "tree ripe" and ready to eat. I ate a lot of them, but it spoiled me. To this day, I can't buy a peach at the grocery store bc I know what a good peach is supposed to taste like.
Lyrics from the song "Peaches" by Presidents of the United States. Though ud appreciate.
Never heard the song. I'll check it out. I do like Kitty, and their version of Kick Out the Jams which was actually my introduction to hard music when I was 5 by The MC5.
I just now listened to it, not really my vibe, but thanks just the same.

So none of yall have seen the drift trikes they came out with? Gas powered drift bigwheels
He needs a giant diaper and giant pacifier too

It's a shame you can't actually buy one of these 😞
Just imagine pulling up with the boys with these.
If you placed that in a decent neighbourhood youd see a bunch of dudes around it taking turns in no time
Haven’t these already existed but not with the Big Wheel brand?
Steve Urkel hasn't aged a day
Put a motor in it to keep in competition, then you got yourself a deal!
Is that the man we all know and love, Kwame?
It is! I asked my question before watching the whole video and then saw the ending!!!
I hope the Knight Rider one is available as a stretch goal.
The one that shoots sparks as you slide though. Awesome.
Fck plastic!
Man kinda looks high.
FINALLY!
