A recreational device having a large rotatable outer wheel, a frame disposed internally within the wheel and about which the wheel is rotatable, a pivotable foot platform attached to the frame, and a tail wheel assembly disposed aft of the large wheel and coupled to the platform. In use a rider stands on the platform, preferably in a sideways stance, and grasps hand grips on the frame members and steers the wheel by applying torque to the frame. The tail wheel assembly is coupled to the foot platform by pulleys and cable such that pivoting of the platform causes pivoting of the tail wheel assembly to aid in steering the device. A hand brake can be provided to control the speed of rotation of the wheel about the frame. A nose wheel assembly can be provided having a nose wheel forward of the large wheel and which can engage the ground during braking to aid in stable operation. The tail assembly can be folded for ease of storage and transport.
