I remember my friends having a toy that looked very similar to a wide red bike seat that had wheels on the bottom and a handle bar that you'd put your feet on to steer. To move forward all I'd have to do was turn the handle bar from side to side. It was such a great toy, but I can't remember the name of it for the life of me!!! Anyone have ANY ideas on what this toy was called?? And even where I could buy one?? Thanks!

Hey there Tim!
I am not sure about that toy but I will do some looking around for you.
Hopefully, someone here will be able to help you!
Welcome !!! :frostywink

We seem to remember something like this, but we saw it on television...a guy invented something that was supposed to be easier to use than a skateboard...???

Ya know...I've been thinking about this and I really think that we owned one of these before. Now just to find out what the heck it was called! LOL!

I found it! It was called a Roller Racer and it was made by Wham-O. I used to have one as a kid too. Right now there's one on Ebay until the 22nd, I will google around for other sites.

Awesome! I am so glad you found it! And man, those things are sooo cool!
I am betting you are going to be riding it around all the time when you get it... LOL

Btw...welcome (officially) to Toyland! :wave
