Good times! They were meant to be cracking little GP replica bikes

it was great if you wound it up slowly, but if you cracked it open you could get to the top of the box on one wheel

it felt like someone was trying to kick you off it though

Yeah I've heard a few stories about people being spat-off these kinda bikes and taking some real balls to ride fast as they could be a handful. Still keen to try one and pretend I'm Joey Dunlop/Barry Sheene/Freddy Spencer

wtf!?! Drifting a bike like that!!! You must be insane!

Just made me think of this old video, which shows some incredible control.
