Rolling on 24"s: Desert Edition

Rolling on 24
Roma007 brings us a new take on rolling in style on a car with over-size tires.

Say 24" wheels and you're probably picturing a blinged-out Escalade on forged rims. But think again. This is Rolling On 24"s: Desert Edition

The car looks a bit like a stripped down Ford Model T but it's obviously got a fair amount of grunt pushing it along. Well, not that much, but enough to pull a mean wheelie and eject the passenger out the side door. Or where a side door would be...if it had any.

When Wheelies Go Bad

When Wheelies Go Bad
Thanks to josephaya for sharing how NOT to do a wheelie with us.

We think this guy might be feeling a little pain in the morning (if he's conscious) but, then again, if you're stupid enough to:
a) do a wheelie on a dirt bike on the road
b) wear shorts and a t-shirt
c) not wear a helmet
you got what you had coming and we're really not feeling any sympathy for you.

Want to try that again? Yeah, we didn't think so.

These guys, on the other hand, have both skill and the brains to wear protective gear!

The Kid's Got Balls!

The Kid's Got Balls!
We're loving this upload from stroked71nova . Just goes to show the kind of fun you can have when you've got a cool kid and an even cooler adult who isn't afraid to let Little Johnny get behind the wheel.

The fact that he needs 3 foam cushions to even reach the pedals of the dune buggy, plus the fact he's about 4 feet tall, tells us this kid is a few years shy of getting his license. But he's already got a heavy right foot and some major cojones , judging by how he handles this thing. And, evidently, weighing only about 80lbs means the buggy is more than a little light on the front end...

Since starting 'em young seems the key to a future driver's success, check out this 2-year old drifter!
