A few mates and I have all likened to the idea of these:

Does naybody know more about where to get them/have one in the shed etc...?

You can get em on ebay or places like kmart. Seen em in coles too!

My friends little boy has one of those pedal power ones - BEST FUN EVER! (if you don't mind skun knees and elbows...)
Not sure where she got it though sorry - I'll check next time i see her.

That's cool as ****! I know if i bought one i'd use it twice then it'd sit there for a year or two though.

This would be insane to do down Arthurs Seat for the vic boys.

I want one!

Here's an absolutely awesome link from NS:

Got Dorrring. - Hardtuned.net

It's just tryiong to find the 20" slider (there are some on Ebay, but trying to buy local first and not have to ship from Geelong to Newcastle)...otherwise I'll get my wheels on first and start a custom project. They give you the buiold plans etc in that thread and everything.

There is even one with adjustable camber//toe/caster...Ludicrous!

Prob the best video yet ^^

Why are they for sale down here specifically? And where at?
If you don't have any luck I could grab one and strip it down to see how small it could be packaged.

It'd be cool to build one up really fresh, like the hipsters and their fixies.

Yeah one of our mates is a bigger lad (sweet Pom, 100kg+) so he's going custom, bearings on the rear for more speed etc...

Here is my link:

HUFFY SLIDER drift bike vl turbo silvia skyline s15 s14 - eBay Kids Bikes, Bikes, Cycling, Sport. (end time 27-Jul-10 17:27:35 AEST)

I'm happy to run with that guy, the Pommy emailed huffy to see the status on them because it's a "seasonal" thing with Kmart.,.. will wait for that email. If not i'll pounce on that link

[Jace]

Ha oh rad.
Rear axle would be awesome, e-brake entries haha.

Good luck with it! Hope the 'build' goes real well!

[schoona]

Thanks for the offer mate.

[Peter Jones]

Looks like it's 1978 all over again.......

[Jace]

No worries man. By the way, i lol'ed at the ebay listing title haha.
