I wonder if they'd allow me to autocross that.

Isn't that kid a little old for a pacifier?

Well, we called ours Big Wheels.

When you're sitting in the seat Big Wheels understeer something awful - unless you had parents cool enough to spend the bucks for a Green Machine with its steerable back axle. My parents were not that cool.

Neither were mine, but those rear wheels slid around like crazy under us. I don't think any of us ever crossed the finish line except backwards.

My son has the pedal powered version of this. I think its called the tornado or vortex or something like that. Found it at a yardsale for $5. Think of it as a big wheel with rear castors. Its fun to cruise around on.

This thing looks like a cool drifting trainer for just about anyone who can fit in it. I'd love to drift, I just feel REALLY uncomfortable trying to do it in my only car. Nahmeen? I'd love to have something to help get myself comfortable with sideways car control.

I may have to DIY one. It looks like a frame with 4 swivel casters and a single powered wheel that is on a 360* pivot.

i was trying to find pics of what it looked like underneath and i found this article/photo http://dailybruin.com/2010/09/23/anderson_graduate_ali_kermani_capitalizes_on_rough_road/

looks like its all in the rear axle, the lever twists the 2 rear casters more perpendicular so they can swing around...awesome

man now I want one adult sized, and not $400.

I want one of those adult drift trikes, but I think they still run around 250 or so.

Edit: Like this.

Good find!
