I remember seeing something on TV. Children about eight or ten in full riding gear, helmets and all, bouncing around as though on horses. There were judges, spectators, a breathless announcer. The funniest part, the serious expressions on the kids faces as they competed.

One kid even patted her skittish mount to calm it down.smiley - laugh

Now I want one. This chair is most uncomfortable and It would be good for my circulation if I could bounce while waiting for downloads. I should probably also wear a cape and mask in case I bounce into the wall and break my neck. It would give something for the CSI people to figure out.

We need a new action smiley.
