We moved to Oklahoma in 1976 and I lived on a dirt road for years after that. Absolutely no place to ride a big wheel. Or Green Machine. Maybe that's why I don't remember it. I'll turned 40 6 months ago and I still feel young as hell.

My sister had one without the side brake too, but after she and I trashed it, she got the "2nd gen" with the side brake. The front wheel lasted alot longer on it, but constantly sliding it sideways into curbs eventually did it in. And then she got the Green Machine. Those things were Wicked!
I had the Evil Knevil stunt cycle too. Compared to TTP, or SSP's, it was lame.  |
