I went through multiple Big Wheels as a little kid in the mid '90s once I learned how to lock up my knees and skid the front wheel. Eventually, I'd wear through the plastic of the "tire" and have a big hole in the tread
I think this is one of the models I had Attached File |

I saw Independence day in the movie theater for my birthday and then I saw Twister a few weeks later with my sister for her birthday. I very, very rarely got to go to the movies when I was young so I was pumped! I saw Independence Day on its premiere which was the 4th of July. I'm 11 years old and halfway through this movie about aliens attacking us the film melted. I had never seen this happen before and I was sure we were being attacked by aliens. |

Quoted: If you don't know what game this is, you had a bad childhood. https://i.imgur.com/zj4x2cc.jpeg View Quote Yeah I know that game. Fun story: In middle school, we figured out pretty fast that the local area network for ALL the computers in the school was both A: unsecured and B: writable. So us being us, we installed Quake 2 to the network drive, then were able to play multiplayer Quake across the school network (internally or over the internet) without any issue. We did it through command line access. If you just tried to navigate there through the UI, you'd never get there or find it. Also. The firewalls they were using were total shit. Anything you wanted to do, you could do, as long as you knew just a tiny amount of HTML or scripting. Those days are long, long gone now I am sure ETA: we also wrote a bug code and made every computer on the network access it on connecting and execute it at random times of the day, and at random intervals of time. It would simply, without input or dialog, open your computer's CDROM drive tray. That one got us in some trouble. Nothing serious, just a solid talking-to. We would all die of laughter walking past the library and random PC's had trays open. Also, teachers would flip their shit after it opened for the 122nd time that day They figured it out after a kid put a fucking forkbomb on the network and fucked it up for everyone. They locked everything down after that. |

I was born in 1978 so I have a lot of formative years in the 80s, but really hit my teenage developmental years in the 90s. I was born right at the cusp to experience and be in a major part of both decades in a real sense. A few years in either direction would have affected my experience and doomed me to just one of those decades.
Jonah Hill of all people wrote and directed the following film. Nobody until this point captured the golden age of skating and what it was like for them in the...mid-90s. An instant classic. If you weren't there, or if you didn't skate then you don't know. Mid90s | Official Trailer HD | A24 |

I saw Independence day in the movie theater for my birthday and then I saw Twister a few weeks later with my sister for her birthday. I very, very rarely got to go to the movies when I was young so I was pumped! So did I - not for my birthday though. It was amazing. And we went to the real theater, not the $1 theater. |

Then we'd ride around on Big Wheels like we were the marauders in Mad Max, one of the many R movies we watched. His younger brother would scream with sheer terror for help as we circled and then we'd run into him with the Big Wheels. Grandma would come down then yell at him for being too loud and us for kicking up too much dust with the Big Wheels. She'd take him upstairs saying he couldn't handle playing with the big boys. Times were good. |

Times were good. Speaking of older brothers and Big Wheels; My older brother and I were once riding around on the sidewalk in front of the house. I was on my Big Wheel and he was on his mountain bike with the big knobby tires. I ended up in front of him and decided to do one of my famous skids, not realizing what a bad idea that was . In reality, he probably just ran into the back of me and fell over, but the vague memory I have is one of being completely ridden over like a speed bump. My parents have confirmed that I did have a faint tire mark on my back. |

Quoted: Yeah. It sucks we got lumped in with all the millennials. Total horseshit. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: As an elder millennial I approve this thread. I'd prefer the Gen Y moniker, but the world doesn't seem to agree with me on that one. I feel like I had a gen x / gen Y experience. I feel very privileged that I got to live the old school and the new school growing up. The Husky Mudslinger.... man I totally forgot about that bike. Man that was a long time ago. The OG super soakers..... god they fun. We used to fart into the bottles.....lol. Such a prick move. I was on highschool when golden eye was king. Man, Doom was fun too. Remember Dark Forces? What a great PC game. This thread made my day. The only thing missing in this thread is the cool models we used to buy and paint, and maybe a vector or SR71 poster. I was a freshmen in college during 9/11. Who knew then, but that day we left the world as we knew it behind..... some things are definitely better now. Some just aren't. I always liked "Oregon Trail Generation". Yeah. It sucks we got lumped in with all the millennials. Total horseshit. Xennials. It flows better than "Oregon Trail Generation". |
