20100120 - Team America Super Stunt Dirt Bike - GEDC1409 - bike, launcher
The Team America Super Stunt Dirt Bike, my favorite childhood birthday present. I got it when I turned 7 on Jan 13, 1981, and still play with it 29 years later! The winder/launcher/crank eventually broke apart, but duct tape has held it together over the decades.
The internet barely mentions this toy as existing, and there are barely any pictures. When I posted a low-quality YouTube video of it in action, I eventually received requests to do a photo shoot of the toy, to prove that it existed. So here they are, world! Enjoy!
By the way, the plastic geras in the winding unit make a decent fingernail file. And the Rugrats sticker was added in 2010, simply because I like to put stickers on things and had a sticker laying around.
