The one my dad built when I was a kid was like the one in the photo. Until
I saw this one, ours was the only one I had seen horizontal.The cool thing
about it is that if you veered off course and hit the tree, the tire
surrounded you on all sides like a safety bumper! We would sit in it with
our feet hanging down through the middle.
