It just popped into my head out of nowhere as do most of my childhood memories, but I can't for the hell of me remember what it was called. It was like a largish ball with a disk in the middle, the bottom part of the ball was bigger. The whole idea was to stand on the and bounce.

I know I fell *beep* over tit on them a few times. I think my old one is still hiding in my parents shed. Just wish I remembered what it was called in the first place.

Wow, they're still about? Didn't expect that. But not surprised by the name change, at least I swear that wasn't what they were called.

I recall that mine was a bright pink ball, and a yellow disc.

Even remember attempting to use a skipping rope at the same time :laugh1:

Had one that was a red ball with a black ring.
Couldn't get on with it and eventually got rid of it.

Mine is probably still knocking about in my parents shed. Last I saw it, it had faded a fair bit.
