If it’s not obvious by now, I’m quite fond of the more ridiculous “sports” and games that don’t quite count as professional, or even amateur… hell, sometimes they’re not even sports. Regardless, I’m a sucker for goofball competitive events, and those lovable hippies and hipsters in San Francisco hosted the 5th* annual Bring Your Own Big Wheel event, which included safe Easter** fun for the kids and adults alike. The event required participants to, obviously, bring their own Big Wheels. It’s not rocket science.
After the race, the hippies even got to take part in two of their favorite pastimes – cleaning up and helping people (all working Big Wheels were donated to the local fire department to be distributed to children). It was a win-win-win event apparently. It was also an inspiration for my new annual charity event, Bring Your Own Pogo Ball, which will benefit my love for watching large-breasted women bounce.
*It may be older, I only saw as far back as 2006.
** Or spring if you’re a crybaby.
Video of all the delightful wipeouts and a gallery of the whacky participants after the jump…
I expected the video to be a bit scarier, what with all the Asian women in San Francisco.

I had a Big Wheel and then moved up to the Green Machine, that was bad ass.
Toonces or GTFO
Damn you UU,
I was stuck with a hand me down big wheel with a sagging fork and an e-brake burned down to the handle. It was also faded to pink.
You could do some serious drift with the Green Machine.
I had a Dukes of Hazzard big wheel when I was little, because I am old and from the South. It had a Confederate flag on it and everything. The fun part of this story is that I grew up in a predominantly black neighborhood. I had no idea I was being a little bigot, I just thought the show was great.
The hippies can start their cleaning by dealing first with their pits and hair.
Huh, I was expecting a vid or at least animated gif of large-breasted woman on a pogo ball after the jump. I am disappoint.
I had the A-Team big-wheel. I was pretty much the coolest.
I did, too. I also had the A-Team rifle that could be changed into 5 different guns. It’s odd that I’m still alive.
Sometimes hipsters have a good idea. Who knew?
Actually, it’s been going since 2000. Check our history page for more info: [bringyourownbigwheel.com]
