Reg Evans Posted October 5, 2009 Report Posted October 5, 2009 Oh Cool ! I've heard of barrel racing but I always thought it involved horses Didn't know it could be done this way Thanks Jim and Tod Quote
Jim Shepard Posted October 5, 2009 Author Report Posted October 5, 2009 Hey Tod! How'd you do that? I tried for several minutes to get the picture to come up, but to no avail. Quote
Jim Shepard Posted October 5, 2009 Author Report Posted October 5, 2009 Oh Cool ! I've heard of barrel racing but I always thought it involved horses Didn't know it could be done this way Thanks Jim and Tod How'd you like the matching helmet and wheels? Those are the old Soap Box Derby wheels. This would've been taken around 1956. Quote
Reg Evans Posted October 6, 2009 Report Posted October 6, 2009 I did notice the soap box derby wheels. Mine had them too but I couldn't find a gold helmet to match. I traded my bicycle for those wheels cause they had real ball bearings in them. WOW !!! Notice the compartment at the front of the coaster. I made that to hold red bricks for added weight so it would go faster down hill. Quote
pflaming Posted October 6, 2009 Report Posted October 6, 2009 Tod, wish I had pictures. I had a set of wheels like that but no barrel. My brothers and I had two small ponies. I rigged up a 'car' tied a rope to it, tied it to the saddle and away we went, full gallop. When one pony was tired we got the other one. We lived on a cattle ranch so did not have to concern ourselves with traffic. Quote
Frank Elder Posted October 6, 2009 Report Posted October 6, 2009 My horse driven sled, same one we rode down hill, was fun in the wintertime, my brother and I took turns driving and sledding...every once in a while you would have to bail out when the horse's tail lifted high..... Quote
