How many people had a Big wheel or a skate board? Bike or scooter? Did you make your own ramps and how many busted up knees do you remember?

I had a bike, skate board and big wheel. All were tickets to freedom. I remember the big wheel very well, but my buddy had a Green Machine. I tried not to be jealous, but what a ride!

I remember that Green Machine, yeah that was a sweet ride! Very cool!!!

I think one year, if I remember correctly, there was a bunch of kids in the Spring parade that did the Big Wheels. It was hilarious, but I bet they had a lot of fun!

Road my big wheel until the back wheels fell apart. You are right, Green Machine was better and I was totally jealous of my friends that had them.

Loved my big wheel! Skateboard too. Funny story, my friend and I were skateboarding down a big hill and she fell and hurt her elbow. She was sitting on the ground crying and I lost my balance and came off the board but managed to not fall. Arms and legs flying but I didn’t fall. She quit crying and started laughing because I looked like a scarecrow. 😂😁

I had roller skates with a key, ice skates, Krazy Kar (may be why I get car sick to this day)a cheap plastic orange skate board, and a banana seat on my bike ( very 70's!)
My little brother had the big wheel.

Yes I did both. I ran the big wheel until the wheels wore thru! Then we patched it ran it some more! Lol

Had a red and blue big wheel, slime green color scooter, sidewinder skateboard and a bike. Tried to build ramps. Would have to rebuild after every launch. Constant scars. Technically a millennial but i dont identify as one. 1 year over and was definitely not raised as one. i am betting the sidewinder is still in my moms garage somewhere. gunna have to go dig around after work

My boys had big wheels - and they loved them - a few scrapes that I remember - but nothing to keep them from riding them like maniacs - my youngest is 40

One of my earliest memories was my Big Wheel. Got it on my bday, Xmas. Couldn't ride it until spring. I sk8'd after watching Back To The Future. Gift from my mom, she found one at a thrift sale I believe. Blue plastic. The Ripper was my first "pro" skateboard from Powell Peralta. Skated for 8 years non-stop after that. The good-ol days.

Used to make ramps and fun boxes. Lots of scraps but no broken bones except for when I carried a friend's skateboard home for him while riding my bike.

Knee injury on skate board
I was 13 never forget it.
I was cured! 😂
Skate boards had just come out.
I remember paying $5.
I was so thrilled to get one 😊
$5 was like a $100. back then
for my household.
We had penny candy too 😂😂
Pennies aren't even pennies any more😊

Oh yikes, yeah we did that with sledding too! Once had a family sled and all the neighborhood kids tie on or hold on to individual sleds, and we sled down a golf course hill! Huge pile up at the bottom and some got hurt, but it was all good fun, until the moms said no more!
