From experience - stretch the tip, then hold the rest of the balloon as you inflate, forcing the air into the weakest part of the balloon.

Hope this helps.

Hi Kevin,

I know this post goes back to earlier this year, but I have the chance of being able to "stand" at and in a wedding store  and at a market on a weekend to advertise my services with balloon decoration/and twisted decor..
so as an added attraction and to improve my skills thought I would twist for "folks" whilst I was there (gets the peeps to look at my services whilst the children get the products and helps me do/practise "Line work"...)

So I would appreciate more details on your street set up and especially the menu board and bag stand /setup (helps save me explaining that the child's request would take too long) ......

If it doesn't put you out too much..

Cheers ;)

Well done Stuart,

Great Job, nice attention to detail and I have to agree the suit is spot on!  :D

I had to create a smaller version for a customer yesterday in 260's it was a challenge "scaling it all down"...using the silver "engine blocks" rather than the stool to keep it all solid to the framework.  (and forgot to take a picture...) :oops:

Looking forward to the review Stewart,

On my first attempt It was easy to follow David's explanation and the demonstration .. ..

my problem is and always has been memory retention / self confidence.. I need to do something a few times for it to stick...and then do it again...so I had to keep checking the DVD to ensure I was on track ...

If anything I would replace the tyres with those that Graham has developed / created. (if he wouldn't mind) and ensure you keep the connection points to/near the stool reasonably soft.

Good luck and Crack on..! ;)

This was a venue created for a 40th Birthday, the lady is a motorbike enthusiast......
Large "sit on" Motorbike courtesy of David Grist's DVD (had to add the 16" doughnut because the front one had an accident too close to the start of the celebrations)
The smaller ones (on each table acting as balloon weights) are courtesy of Mr Bomas..............
The Stool supporting the large bike is courtesy of a charity shop..... but available in many retailers for about £7.00

Hi Stuart,

I "created" one from Davids DVD 9 instructions about 3 weeks ago for a 40th (I will have to post the pics...but some are up on my facebook page) the Stool was an inexpensive fold up (about £8.00) from one of the high street retailers in Goole.....but I am sure charity shops / £ shops retailers will have them.... taht way you can make it leave it and forget it... (though the kind folks returned the stool)

I will get pictures of the stool and model up later...... if you need any more info ....... ;)

regards
