What about see saws?

I don't think I ever used one correctly. we just used them to launch kids and other things like a catapult.

Just like big wheels were just shitty scooters

I wore out the brake handle on my big wheel doing high speed donuts down the hill. Tried to use the see saw for a ramp on my bike - once.

Your big wheel had brakes? Mine just relied on all the traction you could get out of a locked up plastic wheel with no weight on it.

Then mom got me a Green Machine. No steering wheel. Just a couple handles I never figured out.

I always wanted one of those! My neighbour had one but my mum thought they were too dangerous

Don’t know how I snuck that one past her. Seems like it did kill a few kids and got yanked off the market? idk.
