Space Hoppers are fun!

If you’ve never been on a Space Hopper, you’re missing out on some big fun.

I remember these things from way back in the 70s when I was a mere slip of a lad – but of course I’m much older and wiser now – or so you’d think!

I haven’t been on one of these for years, but a couple of weeks ago I went for a visit at a friend’s house and there, tucked away in the corner of their kids’ playroom, was the maniacal face of a huge orange space hopper.

Well it was too much to resist and I had to have a go.

Ah, it was like I’d been transported back 30 years in time! I even managed to fall on my backside just like I did back then.
