  1. they were designed to negotiate sand and loose dirt- people ignore that and thats why they were outlawed....

  2. known as a groiner- most people do it on the dominant-leg side. ouch for quite a while.

  5. unless you were a big 12-year-old- you were too light to ride a 200 or 250

  6. funny comment- a vid would be priceless

  7. actually safer than street riding in california

  8. they would dust a dirt bike on sand unless you had a fat cat or similar two-wheeler.

  9. what is a 'farm trike'?

  10. i got my big bear scrambler when i was 16 but before i had a license. i used to sneak out on the road and smoke dudes in cars then go off-road and disappear into the woods. hitting second gear with my chin on the speedo trying to keep it on two wheels- fun stuff.

  11. they had tricycles you steered like that- remember those things? they were called x-15s? they had rear-steer....

  12. theyre the fastest way on three wheels in the sand- theyre made to be ridden- not aimed like a car or boat.

  13. thats the worst- using poor judgement with a kid on board. i wouldn't even do that in the deep sand.

  14. and thats why we can't buy them anymore...

  15. better late than never! i became a propeller airman at 30- most fun i ever had on the job. the best part was telling airframe & power plant techs they were forbidden by the FAA to mess with their props- job security!

  16. dunes are way more fun, but you want to use a small one with a motor swap for screwing around and playing games.

  17.  @fatpad00  also significantly slower- with a pair of drive wheels the conventional trike would smoke the single-rear wheel trike on sand or dirt- maybe even pavement, too. i wouldn't recommend using it on pavement- not what flotation tires are designed for....motorcycles have a lot more caster built in to the steerer tube.

  18. i had a two-stroke yamaha big bear with paddles front and back- that was fun. heavy- but fun.

  19. see what can happen if you don't read the book first?

  20.  @Betterthanyou-s4t  sounds fun, but riding on flotations down a paved strip is insane.

  21. the best single mod i've seen are short nerfs that keep feet away from the rear tires- very popular for kids on the 50s in sand.

  22.  @MrTheHillfolk  it only has one fork

  23. another reason why we can't buy them

  24. just like a good stoplight car- torque is king

  25. you must have been a big kid...

  26. the harder the surface- the more tire pressure you need- simple physics. following the directions can help, too. they don't do that in the sand- a lot safer in the sand.

  27. next to pavement, thats the worst terrain you can ride on.

  28. they weren't designed for trails- just for sand or loose dirt

  29. you found out the hard way what they were really designed for- and it wasn't trails.

  30. its kinda like an ice boat- right?
