My sister had this! Still have the scar to prove it.
Myself and one of my childhood best friends had one. They were mean until the older kids on my block broke them...
Would love for someone to re-creat them.
i think this is the toy i am pulling my hair out trying to figure out the name ... does anyone have a pic or know the manufacturer?
I had a spinout 360. This was the best toy of it's time. If anyone has a picture please post it. Would love to relive that memory. Anyone remember what toy company made it?
Oh my, I have a picture of my mother sitting in my sons. We were just talking about this. Wish I knew who made it
it was similar to a big wheel but it had one big wheel in front and two little wheels in back that swiveled all the way around so you could get going fast and turn sharp and it would send you spinning in circles
PLEASE post a pic!!! We have been trying to explain to our 8yr old about this. :):)
HELP!! My husband doesn't believe me. He swears there is no such thing as a spin-out 360. I have tried everything to explain what it looked like and he has asked every one of our friends if they know what I am talking about. They all told him it's a big wheel. I wish I had a picture, so if anyone has one please post it. I have 3 girls and would love for Mattel to bring this back. What great memories for me, but as for my husband, I guess he will never know!
I had a spinout 360 and was just searching the tube to see if any were on there. Mine was red, circular and was almost as much fun as my green machine! They def. should bring them back.
Was this the toy that was red, plastic, and you (the rider) were surrounded by squarish/tubular arms? The rider would yank on the brake and spin around.

I'm 38 years old and I must've had my Spinout 360 when I was 5 or 6? The front wheel was larger than a traditional big wheel and there were two caster wheels on the back as some have said previously. It was red with two curved plastic body pieces connecting the front to the back. I don't remember there being a brake, but there may have been. I think you would just slam down on the pedal and crank the handle bars to spin?
I just found my old spinout 360. my father must have put it away when the front wheel broke off. i need to manufacture 2 small brackets to re-attach the front wheel and i think all the kids in my family will spinout in style. the original brackets were plastic and didnt hold up. i will either use thin aluminum stock or make two pieces out of fiberglass. it is covered in 30 years of dust but i bet it will clean up well. it even has many of the decals. its just cool.
Hey Leroy, do you think we can see a picture of your 360? Like the rest of us here, our kids think we are pulling their legs that this awesome ride existed!!
