Where to buy buoys??

[MADMAT]

I need to start shredin some flat or I am going to lose it. Where can I buy some actual race type? I have never even seen one up close.

xeon showed some real nice ones from overton that we are going to setup at the can am ride

the bounce and go balls from toys'r'us are near identical to the large buoys that overtons sells.

And they are fun to bounce on in the parking lot after using them as buoys:dance:

overtons.

the kids bouncy balls are too big, unless you only want to haul a few or inflate/deflate a bunch every time you ride.

Charlie is right. They are big and clumbersom. The orange and yellow ones from Overtons works really well. You can store about 10-14 of them in a larger rubbermaid container with ropes.

I have 24 of the bouncy ball types, 12 red and 12 yellow. The balls deflate and fit in a single Milk crate, the weights and ropes fit in another. Stacked they hardly take up any room at all. Very slick setup, I used the air compressor from my air ride suspension to inflate them at the lake.

I haven't had a chance to get to too many rides but I hope to donate the entire course to someone who can utilize it. I no longer own lakefront and we aren't allowed to put them up anywhere around here.

I can probably send them up to the Torch Lake ride if anyone is interested. I'd offer to ship but the weights are pretty heavy.

I have the 12" overtons bouys. They work awesome. Great mounting area for a rope and hold up well to being smacked with a jetski over and over again.

My course has recently found a new home with the Lake Moultrie Crew in SC. Hopefully they can get plenty of use out of it.

$5.49 each (1-23)
$4.99 each (24+)

These are all you need and they will not break the bank.

Keep in mind that bouys are going to be lost, your going to hit them and puncture them. So, you spend $300.00 for 16 hippidy hops at $20.00 each, that is going to get expensive. Or you can spend about $90.00 for the same number and have something that works just as well.

I got my Hippety Hops for $9 each Canadian. I had 1 stolen in 2 years and never punctured a single one, even with running them over routinely.
