Man....I had one of those. They were so cool!!!!!!!!

JU, that is so cool, gettin RAD 60s style. I wish I could have heard it but my dog killed my speakers...I dont read lips but it looked like that old lady was talkin dirty lol...

I'm gonna post a link in the freestyle board, I know those guys will all dig it.

AWESOME!!!!

Funny, no helmets...not even any shoes!!!!

I always laugh to myself when i see a kid riding down the street wearing a helmet. If you did that when I was a kid, you would have had NO friends. Now its weird to see a kid without a helmet...

I know, even when I go out riding w/ my kids, I feel like telling them "take of that helmet, it looks stupid"

and then I remember that I'm a grown up now, and we have helmet laws in NY

BIKE helmet laws!!?!?!?!?!

you GOTTA be kidding me????

The cops would have to catch me first....

just sold an NOS set couple weeks ago...

damn...when i saw Tim had responded to this thread I expected to see one of these mounted to a STR-1 or something....

TIM! you sold that!!

You probably got a quite a bit for it.

There were so many cool things like that in the 60's I wanted and didn't get.

The Mickey Thompson wheelie mini-bike, the vroom motor, chicken power...

Spicoli, I think the little old lady is THE little old lady from pasadena, from the Dodge ads featuring Jan and Dean and those cool super stock Dodge's!

That's a really cool old commercial. I want to go and do a wheelie right now!!!! Stupid work!!!, maybe in the morning when I get home.

I saw that wheelie bar instruction manual on an episode of Monster Garage. It was the wheelie ambulance episode, and Jesse James pulled that out as his childhood treasure of when he first learned to wheelie.

Great commercial, Jeff! You're right, she is the little old lady from Pasadena.
She was in a commercial with Dandy Dick Landy.

Bar spins...heheh! Great stuff!

Iceman

The sound of those hemi and/or wedge Dodges...Awesome.

Wheelies without shoes and helmets... Hahaha.

The CSPC would have a field day with that today.

Good stuff JU

RAD bar spinning wheelies!

Great ad,I can't beleive how close the people are to Maverick's LRW when it lifts off,also Landy's Dart looks like its in a parking lot or something

Jeff that was way too cool! I showed my kids and now guess what I have to build? Thanks!

That is a crazy video! 60's bikes and 60's Mopars; can't go wrong there.

Tim, you didn't happen to keep scans and measurements of that thing did you? I'm thinking of "repoping" some. Har. Just kidding.

The seat stand wheelie is about 30 years ahead of its time, what with Cranmer et al doing seat stand manuals and wall taps. Of course, todays riders are really hurting without the wheelie bar (and their grannies) to help them along...

JU, I love everything about that commercial! The classic Yamaha and the Little Red Wagon. My dad took me to the drags when I was really young and I remember the Little Red Wagon vividly! so cool.

WOW that's a classic.. did anyone spot the VW kombi in the background? hehehe

ARG!! I'm looking at this "Not at home." so the link is filterd out and i can't see it.I'll chek it when I get home today. but I do remember seeing all those adds on TV as a kid. I wanted one of those Whamo wheelie so bad! Anyone remember AMT models? had a model of the Little red wagon as a kid. I had the Hemi under glass model too. I almost crapped my pants a few years back when i was walking through the pits at the Winter nationals. sitting there on display was a freshly restored Hemi under glass! I walked around that car for a solid 30 min. The wheel standers and the fuel alterds were alwas my favorites

Everyone's gonna have Wheely bars on their JMC's and Hutch's at Rockford next year.
Utterback you trend setter you!!!!!!!
Like your closeup saying "More fun from Wham-O"
Hahaha
