How to Do a 360 Skid on a Green Machine

Huffy Corporation's Green Machine has been entertaining children 6 and older for decades. It's an alternative to a traditional bicycle for kids who have outgrown their tricycle or just want something different. While keeping the basic three wheel design, the Green Machine has a long wheel base and rear wheel steering system. These features allow riders to perform a variety of spins and other maneuvers, including a full 360 skid.

Instructions

- 1
  Accelerate to your maximum velocity on the Green Machine. You must go fairly fast to complete a 360-degree spin.
- 2
  Move the directional levers quickly in opposite directions once you have reached your target velocity. Centrifugal force will naturally skid you into a 180-degree spin.
- 3
  Shift as much of your weight as possible toward the inside of the spin. You may need to do this a few times to get the feel of it, but you should be able to skid all the way around into a 360 with practice.
