Big Wheels Toy Trike Racing - Anyone Tried It ?

[OnlyMX5ives]

Hi,

Just seen this on another forum and it looks hilarious.

Has anyone tried it / does it / wanna start ?

Mods please don't move this to Pedal Powered as I've no interest in cycling and I doubt cyclists would be interested in this.

That looks amazing. You'd be giggling all the way down!

Obviously on an open road it'd be a bit dangerous especially en masse but in a multi storey car park at night...

Have a look on youtube for Travis Pastrami backfliiping a big wheeler. There's also a big wheeler race in San Fran, down the road (name escapes me at the moment) used in Bullet. Lots of vids on youtube for it.

Not quite as cool as Travis Pastrana doing a backflip on one:

Looks like a great time - Where could we do it over here tho? Any suggestions down south?

That looks hilarious, if not entirely sensible.

You can't even by the trikes anymore, Trek discontinued them. A couple of companies started making copies, but got stopped via litigation.

Big shame though, I know a few places around London you could do this.

I love the drifting. Fantastic stuff

A quick search on Ebay reveals many similar trikes which I'm sure wouldn't take much modification.

To add a motor and make them RWD would be a little harder but saves looking for hills !

Razor Scream Machine

NOW IN STOCK!!

Mmm. I live about 10 mins away from this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nh8RTCLTqIQ Must resist.

[OnlyMX5ives]

TBH I just googled for a link, I think they have stopped selling them.

I got mine off a little kid on Ebay who has no idea what fate awaits it.

They seem to sell on there for £15 - 35

Looks good but I think the rears would get stuck in the cattlegrid !

Maybe a small ramp could be utilised.

Want want want.

There's absolutely nowhere round here I'd survive using one of course, but they do look good fun. That said, with a nice gravely surface I can get my Orange to those sorts of angle and it's a bit better for going up the hills.
