Skywalker Tallbikes: 12-Foot-Tall Bicycles!

By Alex in Arts & Crafts, Car & Vehicle, Pictures on Mar 13, 2008 at 2:27 am


These are Skywalker Tallbikes, 12-foot-tall bikes built by Brad Graham. Jesus Diaz of Gizmodo asked him the obvious question: how in the world do you get on top of one to ride it?

JD: OK, and now the really OMFG part: how the heck do you ride this thing?
BG: The bike is very easy to ride if you trust it. Climbing the ladder while it is in motion takes some time to get used to, but after a few tries, I was able to get to the top with a coffee in one hand. Many people tried SkyWalker, and had no problem at all riding it.

    Yeah, but try to get one of them into a half-pipe. Ouch.

    Getting on it and riding it might be cake as they claim but I'd want to know how to get off of the hideous thing - short of riding it into a body of water. Tell me these people don't have anything to do with Critical Ass.

    a clever way to look into you neighbor's backyard and find interesting things to steal.

    What happens when you fall off?

    Put a motor in it and you could really peg this beast.

    I hope one of them finds its way into Jackass 3.
