Okay this one I have to say is not new, growing up we used to do this on Big Wheels. With those plastic tires it make doing drifting so easy coming down a hill.

this should be an olympic sport

The Big Wheel with the power brake was even better!!!

We were the 3rd house form the corner. I was about 9 and my brother was 5. He'd sit on it and steer/operate teh brake. I'd stand on the back and push as fast as I could, then we'd slide around that corner. We did it so much we busted those plastic tires!!!!

We used to wear flat spots into the front wheel from trying to stop. I think that is why they came out with the power brake, that was after my time on big wheels.

All the power brake did was to put flats spots on the one back wheel

So who wants to buy some of these and go drfiting? Looks like a ton of fun...although I would have to fabricate some great tall-tale for the wife about 1. why I bought one, and 2. why I am taking it with me for the day (along with my helmet and karting suit). lol

Lol Tim,
It was seriously the best 70$ ive spent.

Sliding canyons burns up your wheels quick though and falling hurts..

you can get them from Target or Toys R Us
