This looks so fun! There's a great park here in Portland that'd be perfect for this, too (Mt. Tabor).

Andy Bell and Travis Pastrana were doing backflips in a bigwheel(unmodified). Nitro Circus is one of my new favorite shows.

We should find a stash of these things and go down Glendora Mt. Road!

Fun. Not that I was young enough to enjoy the BigWheels, but my kids did.
I was more the "Radio Flyer" generation, trying not to auger when over-steering with the solid front axle.

How do they get the pedals to stop turning once they are up to speed.?

I was wondering the same thing; they must have some sort of free-wheel thingy going on.

LOL that was too awesome. They need to add that to the X-Games

If I ever have a kid I'm gonna build him one of those, I PROMISE!!

As for them not pedaling. It's probably modified to mimic the same coasting mechanics of regular bicycles (I don't understand how it works, so I can't really explain it)
