Lol, I hope a few of us are gonna build some of these, we are starting ours on the weekend! Picked up a old BMX from a mate yesterday.
Whats the deal with brakes? Do you guys just have fronts & use ur weight to throw them sideways or do you have sum sort of handbrake setup?

Just a brake on the front wheel for stopping when your hitting 70ks . Look up huffy slider on google images theres a badass one on there. You dont need to throw your weight you just turn sharply and it drifts hard. There should be 10 trikes on the roads of chch very soon.

Mean! went for a slide tonight on some new wheels i made. Wheel chair front wheels with sealed bearings, with pvc pipe over them. Worked pretty well its a bit too slippery so does huge drifts but not quite as much steerage. I did a few drifts at around 50ks pretty scary haha

Yeah i will some time its 200mm pvc pipe over small inflatable wheels that i let down then slip the pip on and inflate them again. They arnt as good as the huffy slider wheels they are the best. Havent found any black pipe to slip over yet.
