What were these things called?

Anyone remember those toys that we like a giant rubber ball but on the top they had a handle on top of it. The purpose was to bounce on it and hold onto to the loop handle. Eventuall, the added like a horse head handle, and a few other different ones. What were they called.

Hoppity hops, at least thats what we called them at my elementary school and middle school.

Do you guys remember those things called pogoballs fromthe 80's that were like a ball with a plastic disc around it that looked like saturn and you just balanced on it and bounced.

Anybody remember the original scooters??? Was nothing more than a bike tire on a frame that you stood on...or how about the mini merry go round for kids...one kid could ride it and had multi colors to make it seem more pshycadelic...

"Hoppity Hops"is/was the correct answer.Genericly speaking,they were also called Kangaroo Balls.Just imagine the joy it brought,holding on tight and bouncing around the neighborhood with my BIG Kangaroo Balls!

If they can make adult sized diapers, why can't they make adult sized Sit-n-Spin's. Seems like they could go well together.

Ya know Jenn,you may be on to something here.I mean if grown men and women can zip down the streets of Manhattan on scooters,why not Hoppity Hops?Can you picture it?

Furie: didnt you get the memo? Im ALWAYS right, lol. ;)

P.S. Do you guys remeber those things that were scooters taht you sat on that were close to the ground and they had like handle bars that you rested your feet on and tugged side to side. At my elementary school we called them Turtles, but I believe the commercial name was "Roller Racer" or some crap like that. Those things were cool!

Elementary school gym class was the greatest!
