We are three brothers and a few friends who aren't satisfied with the everyday routine of life. This being the case, we are always looking for new adventures and adrenaline rushes. So we thought of racing big wheels. First we started out on neighborhood streets with the stock big wheel, plastic rear tires and all. Although this was out of the ordinary and fun, we soon grew tired of the same thing over and over. We found steeper and more challenging roads and parking garages. We soon felt confident enough to take on a mountain. So of course we chose Lookout Mountain in the foot hills of Golden Colorado. The road is long and steep. The Switchbacks are tight and the straight-aways are fast. This was our new home for the races. We were on a mission for challenge, excitement and of course more speed. We succeeded in all aspects. This was very good, until our plastic tires melted off from the speeds we were hitting. This left us with no other option but to modify and make faster. Our next choice for rear wheels were lawn mower wheels with bearings in the center. This allowed us reach an additional 10 mph. We soon found our selves wanting more speed so we moved on to scooter tires in the rear. This was yet another success pushing us even faster. We currently reach speeds of 50 to 55 mph. Will this keep us satisfied in our quest for the ultimate adrenaline rush? Probably not, so come join us and help us make this sport even bigger and faster. The more racers the bigger the rush.
