Are we ready?

Post by Jim O'Bryan »

An ex-Lakewoodite now in San Francisco sent me this video with the mention of "Is
Lakewood ready? Maybe Stinchcomb or Detroit to the boat docks."



Well, are we?

Also please note thr tremendous use for our trash cans.

Looks like fun ... the lack of steering response on the Big Wheel is disturbing ...

You should talk to Vince. The Public Square group did a big wheel and skateboard coffin race last year.

Only with the curve. from the top.

As Paul points out the under steering characteristics of big wheels and plastic wheeled
vehicles really makes it interesting.

However if you look at the video, you will see that some have really mastered them, and
are pulling off amazing drifts through the turns losing very little speed.

hogs back would be a brutal walk up.


We did head-to-head tournament which made for lots of repeating entertainment.

We had 3 divisions - Skateboard Coffin (lying on your back) Stock Big Wheel and OPen Division - anything with plastic wheels.
