Death of a Big Wheel

[Trip]

As some of you know, I race big wheels. As a few of you know, I put model rocket engines on said big wheel this year.

And as even fewer of you know, I had my first major wreck at the gap on this big wheel. My wrist is tweaked and I am sore all over. The blur that comes from the left of the screen and takes me out is Ben of DGMR. :lol: He seems fine after taking a big freakin shot from my big wheel. The front end is totalled. I need to call insurance and see if I can get it replaced. :lol:

probably around 20 mph, we still had a ways to go to reach max speed.

Trip, I have a "powerwheels" 4 wheeler that I converted to "free-wheel" It's scary fast-fun going down hill, I want to add some rubber to the tires as the plastic ones are all over the place.

We only run big wheels in these races per the rules.

what the hell was the squeeky toy noise at the beginning of the race? everyone's leathers?

I think it was one of Ben's devil ducks. They seem to appear on people's bikes.

It's always the stupid small stuff that will kill you. You can run the Isle of Man TT and crash at 190mph and come out bruised and beaten but walking the next day. But get a hold of a bicycle or some other kids toy and it will put you in the hospital or ground fast as shit.

That stuff looks extremely fun.

[JARVIS518]

u guys have a rule book?

[Trip]

u guys have a rule book?

yeah, we have set rules for modification of the big wheel and how you can start the race.

Do they even have useable peddles?? Thought you removed them to have somewhere to put your feet?

the original pedals were removed for a straight axle so you can put your feet there.

[JARVIS518]

u should start carrying a gps to see how fast you go

[Sixxxxer]

That shits Baddass..Post some Carnage Pictures or did you already throw it out?

[t-homo]

I'm sorry I laughed at this.

[Mr Lefty]

:lol: you dumbass

[Particle Man]

I'm still :lmao: that you put a model rocket engine on. How much thrust do you really think that added and how did you not set your ass on fire? :lol:

[Trip]

But you never even used the rockets did you?

Yes I did use them, you can hear them go off right before I get smacked.

35-40 mph has what we been clocked at before

That shits Baddass..Post some Carnage Pictures or did you already throw it out?

I still have it, it's repairable if I can get some parts to hold the front axle on from radio flyer. I will take some pics.

I'm still :lmao: that you put a model rocket engine on. How much thrust do you really think that added and how did you not set your ass on fire? :lol:

Didn't give me much thrust, it did provide a smoke screen that wrecked half the field behind me.

[Trip]

Here is a pic of me fucking off with the rockets in the parking lot after I got taken out.

[the chi]

So for once you didnt win? I am glad you didnt die tho, whew!

[ericr]

[Ducati Diva]

Sorry we missed you guys!!! That looked painful but fun as hell! Feel better hope your not in to much pain.

[JoJoYZF]

:lol: thats pretty badass.

[Trip]

Good news, Jesus came back from Germany for a little bit and he assured me the big wheel is going to be ressurrected. New front end is being shipped as we speak.

I think the thread should be Death on a Big Wheel.


Oh wait! Death on a Big Wheel should be in the Heavy Metal band name thread.

It'd be hilarious if you caught your seat on fire with those.

[Gas Man]

My point is that, that is not what took you out...

next year you should fire full rockets... not just the motors... and hook up a way to aim them at say... coon lovers

[fatburg]

i have to admit, when those things blew by my drunk ass, I was pretty impressed how fast they were going. although sooo disspointed i didn't get to see the rockets fired.
