Coming from a rural upbringing in the Far East, the didicar inventor had an agricultural one. Farms in the area where he grew up were smaller independent farms, subsitence farming with a small arable plot and a mixture of basic farm animals, chickens, a cow and some pigs.

One day early in 2000 DiDi escaped from his pen, and went into the house of the family in search of food, which he found. However, he was spotted by the didi cars inventor and was chased back out into the yard where he ran up onto the two-wheel cart used for transporting hay from the field to the storage sheds.

Trapped on the cart he began to panic a bit and jumped from side to side on the cart looking for a way of escape. Because the sides of the cart were raised he could not get away. However as he jumped from side to side the cart started to move forward. This frightened didi even more and he jumped faster. The faster he moved from side to side the faster the cart moved forward.

Eventually his movements were so frantic that he broke through the side railing of the cart, and fell into the pond by the side of the house.

He was then quickly chased by the whole family back into his sty and firmly locked in.

The Inventor had seen the cart move as the pig jumped on the back of it and this intrigued him. After DiDi was safely back in his pen the Inventor went back to the cart and stood up on it. He started moving his weight from side to side, from one leg to the other, and the cart started to move forward as it had done with DiDi. The Inventors children also had a go and had a lot of fun playing on didi car "magic" roller cart as they saw it.

The Inventor saw how much fun his children had with the cart and the idea of making a small version for them to play on was born. Three months later he had built the first car.

Because of it’s shape and because of the pig that started it all the car was called the didicar ride on toy was born.

The first ride on magic roller toy was so popular with the children in the village that the Inventor made some more and then began selling them as demand spread. Today some 5 years after the escaped pig episode some 1,000,000 cars have been sold and many thousands of the fantastic didicar sticker packs used to personalise the ride on toys.

www.bouncyhapypeople.co.uk offer blue and pink didicars for sale at cost of £49.95 plus £4.95 guaranteed 48hour delivery.

As for DiDi, well he claimed the original idea as his own and sued the Inventor under the new Intellectual Property Rights. They reached a settlement out of court for an undisclosed amount and DiDi is now living in a 10 roomed sty in the Bahamas with his own cart that he can jump on and his own pool that he can jump in any time!

www.bouncyhappypeople.co.uk are offering a free didicar sticker pack worth £4.95 with every didicar sold while stocks last!

Let’s have a closer look at what and whom to expect:

Men’s Individual Trampoline

The Men’s Individual Trampoline competition will see Asia’s powerhouses China and Japan battle it out for medal ranks with Canada and the Ukraine.

With Olympic Champion Lu Chunlong, 2007 World Champion Ye Shuai and Olympic Bronze medallist and 2007 World runner-up Dong Dong, China sends an impressive line-up to St Petersburg. The team is completed by 21 year old Tu Xiao, 2009 World Cup Series medallist (Silver in Zielona Gora, Bronze in Salzgitter).

Winner of the 2009 World Cup Series Masaki Ito and team-mate Yasuhiro Ueyama, 2007 World Bronze medallist and 2005 World runner-up, are Japan’s hopes for a medal in the Men’s Individual event. Tetsuya Sotomura, 4th in Beijing and Bronze medallist at the 2005 Worlds in Eindhoven (NED), looks to have an equally good chance of coming out on top. Also competing for Japan is synchronised specialist Shunsuke Nagasaki.

Canada are bringing in the big guns with 2008 Olympic Silver medallist and runner-up of the 2009 World Cup Series Jason Burnett, while Ukraine rely on Yuri Nikitin, fifth in Beijing and third on the ranking.

It will also be interesting to see Danish Peter Jensen, Belarusian Viatchaslau Modzel, US American Logan Dooley and German Martin Gromowski, who were successful at this year’s World Cup Series.

Men’s Trampoline Team competition

Out of the 28 nations participating in the Men’s Individual Trampoline competition, 18 start with three or four gymnasts and their scores will count for the Team ranking. 2007 medallists China (Gold), Japan (Silver) and France (Bronze) are looking good again this year, but don’t underestimate the challengers from host Russia, who are likely to qualify for the Finals!

Women’s Individual Trampoline

The Women’s line-up for the Individual Trampoline competition features celebs from Canada, China, Russia, Ukraine and Uzbekistan, all battling it out in St Petersburg.

China’s 2008 Olympic Champion He Wenna and team-mate Huang Shanshan, 2007 World runner-up and 2004 Olympic Bronze medallist, will face three times Olympic medallist Karen Cockburn from Canada and her compatriot Rosannagh MacLennan, who placed third at the 2007 World Championships. Interestingly, Huang and MacLennan share second position on this season’s final FIG World ranking.

Russia’s legendary Irina Karavaeva, 5-times World Champion, winner of the first Olympic Gold medal in Trampoline and defender of the world title looks forward to competing in her first world championships in her homeland. And her fans won't be disappointed!

Also joining the ranks is Ukrainian Olena Movchan, winner of the 2009 World Cup Series, and Ekaterina Khilko (UZB), 2008 Olympic Bronze medallist and 4th in rank. Keep an eye on Great Britain’s Katherine Driscoll, Tatiana Petrenia (BLR) and Yulia Domchevska (UKR), too.

Women’s Trampoline Team Competition

23 federations have entered a total of 60 gymnasts to the Women’s Individual Trampoline event, out of which 12 will participate in the Team Competition. World Championships of the past saw China and Russia at the top, followed by Canada (2003) and the USA (2005) in third. In 2007, Canada placed second between China (Gold) and Russia (Bronze).

The question is whether the traditionally stronger nations in Trampoline will dominate this year. Competition is tough; who knows but we may be surprised!

Men’s Synchronised Trampoline

31 Pairs from 20 different federations have registered for the Men’s Synchronised Trampoline competition.

Japanese Pair Shunsuke Nagasaki / Masaki Ito will start as the favourites in St Petersburg. With three World Cup victories this year, they not only topped the final ranking, they gave an impressive performance at the World Games in Kaohsiung (TPE), where they took home a coveted Gold. Reigning World Champions also competing for Japan are Tetsuya Sotomura and Yasuhiro Ueyama.

Close on their heels are French Sébastien Martiny / Grégoire Pennes, World Games runners-up and third of the 2009 Series, as well as Mikalai Kazak / Viatchaslau Modzel (BLR). The Belarusian Pair finished second in the series and missed out on a medal due to a failed routine in the World Games Final in Kaohsiung.

Look out for Danish Daniel Praest / Peter Jensen, Australians Ben Wilden / Blake Gaudry and for US Americans Steven Gluckstein / Logan Dooley and Portugal’s Diogo Ganchinho / Nuno Merino!

Women’s Synchronised Trampoline

In the Women’s competition, reigning World Champions Karen Cockburn / Rosannagh MacLennan are facing tough competition from World Games Champions and winners of the World Cup Series Elena Movchen / Yulia Domchevska (UKR). The Pair from Ukraine won Bronze in 2007.

With Galina Goncharenko / Anna Ivanova and Irina Karaeva / Victoria Voronina, Russia enters two Pairs, the latter of which is new. Voronina had been successfully competing with Anastasia Velichko, ranking an overall second in the 2009 World Cup season. Individual gymnast Karaeva also medalled in Synchro earlier on with partner Natalia Chernova (1999 – Bronze; 2007 – Silver).

Third in the World Ranking, Belarusians Katsiaryna Mironava / Tatsiana Piatrenia are also aiming for the medal ranks, as are Anna Savkina / Ekaterina Khilko from Uzbekistan (4th).

And will Germany’s Carina Baumgaertner / Jessica Simon be able to reclaim their success from Kaohsiung, where they won a World Games Bronze this summer?

Men’s Tumbling

45 male tumblers from 14 different countries will compete for the new World Champion title in St Petersburg, whereas only ten federations entered enough gymnasts to be eligible for the Team Competition.

In the Individual competition, reigning World and World Games Champion and winner of the World Cup Series Andrey Krylov (RUS) is expected to collect another Gold in St Petersburg. His closest challengers hail from the USA, notably in the form of Kalon Ludvigson, 2007 runner-up and second on the World Ranking, as well as from Ukraine with Viktor Kyforenko, 2009 World Games Bronze medallist.

Siarhei Artemenka, the 2007 Bronze medallist from Belarus, participated in the Final in Salzgitter last month, but it remains to be seen whether he’ll deliver in St Petersburg.

www.bouncyhappypeople.co.uk has been cheering on Michael Barnes who won a fantastic Silver for Great Britain earlier this year at the World Games. What can we expect from him this time around? All eyes on Polish gymnast Sebastian Sondel, Russia’s Evgeny Zinukov and China’s tumblers; out of the four Chinese tumblers getting ready to compete in St Petersburg, Yang Song was the only Chinese tumbler to participate in the World Cups this year, winning a Silver in Sofia. By contrast, Wang Jiexu, who came out ahead in Sofia, will be absent in St Petersburg.

The 2007 World Championships saw Russia, China and Belarus on top of the Men’s Tumbling Team ranking, while in the past France, Great Britain, the USA and South Africa were the ones who traditionally made it to the podium.

Women’s Tumbling

With 25 registered gymnasts from eight different countries, the Women’s Tumbling field is the smallest in terms of entries at these championships. Since three countries won’t be sending a complete team, the five teams from Canada, Great Britain, Russia, Ukraine and the USA will directly qualify for the Team Final. In previous years, USA and Russia topped the Team rankings, followed by Great Britain and France respectively in third.

In the Individual competition favourite Anna Korobeynikova (RUS), 2005 and 2007 World and 2009 World Games Champion, and her primary challenger Olena Chabanenko (UKR), double World Champion and 2005 and 2007 runner-up, are expected to make the cut.

Other candidates for the podium are 2007 Bronze medallist Anastasia Isupova (RUS), South Africa’s Karen Wilson (3rd in World Ranking), Canadian Ashley Speed and Anzhelika Soldatkina (RUS).

Men’s Double Mini-Trampoline

Out of the 12 federations represented by 38 gymnasts for the Men’s Double Mini-Trampoline competition, nine countries will participate in the Team competition. Russia, the USA and Great Britain prevailed in the 2007 Team ranking, but in previous years Canada, Bulgaria, Spain, Germany, Portugal, New Zealand and Australia also got their spot on the podium. It’ll be exciting to watch who will make it in St Petersburg!

With none of the 2009 World Cups having featured Double Mini-Trampoline, it’s hard to predict what to expect at the World Championships. The results of this year’s World Games may give an indication; and some of these competitors have already performed at the 2007 Worlds in Quebec.

Kirill Ivanov prevailed at both competitions, taking home the Gold for Russia, and will certainly do everything in his power to please his home crowd. The Russian will be challenged by Kalon Ludvigson (USA), 2007 runner-up, Andre Lico from Portugal, World Games Silver medallist, and German Nico Gaertner, who won Bronze in Kaohsiung.

Women’s Double Mini-Trampoline

28 gymnasts from nine different countries have registered for the Women’s Double Mini-Trampoline competition, but Germany and South Africa are the only delegations not sending a full team for this event. Russia, Canada and the USA are traditionally strong countries in Women’s Double Mini-Trampoline and were represented on the 2007 Team podium. Before that Portugal, Germany and Australia had also been seen at the forefront.

Top contenders this year are Russia’s Victoria Voronina, who won Gold earlier this year in Kaohsiung (TPE), US Americans Sarah Prosen and Aubree Balkan, who placed second and third respectively in Kaohsiung, as well as 2007 Silver medallist Canadian Julie Warnock.

19th World Age Group Competitions

The World Championships will be followed by the 19th World Age Group Competitions, also to be held in St Petersburg’s Sports and Concert Complex from November 18-21, 2009. Boys and girls of Age Groups 11-12, 13-14, 15-16 and 17-18 years will compete in Individual and Synchronised Trampoline, Tumbling and Double Mini-Trampoline.

The mini trampoline or fitness trampoline or rebounder trampoline can be used quietly at home as part of a routine, perhaps 5 minutes while listening to the breakfast news while waiting for the kettle to boil.

If your kids have a round garden trampoline - pop out and use that for 5 minutes as the sun comes up while you let the cat or dog out and save buying a rebounder!

If not, a fitness trampoline is just the thing for your flat or castle. Get the music on and bounce away. Our DVD gives lots of great exercises for all ages from kids to seniors, all ages benefit from a trampoline support bar especially if using a trampoline to recover from injury.

Rebounder trampolines provides various health benefits to its users, including core fitness, and lymph drainage- and bouncing-with or without a support bar for your pt bouncer -makes you happy as all exercise induces euphoria. These workout sessions could just be low impact jogging, light bouncing and skipping.

Springs Only!
We all know that those springs can snap and come flying. What you didn’t know is I guess somebody sued and now they make these really lame trampolines with elastic wraps instead of metal springs. The result: an almost unusable trampoline. It doesn’t bounce right, it doesn’t bounce high, and it’s a huge waste of money and time.
So in using the tips on this article, I am talking about a metal spring trampoline. The originals. You can usually get them by googling Trampolines. Get one with longer springs and maximum performance which means longer and more springs. Rectangular trampolines are best for serious boarders and trampolines are big cumbersome objects that people like to get off of their lawns once the kids grow up (I never grew up though… sorry mom) and you can find these second hand for as low as £40

JUMP! The first thing to do with your trampoline is jump as high in the air as you can. A couple things to concentrate are how you are timing the jump and your body’s orientation in the air.
Once your body leaves the ground all sorts of core muscles (inner muscles that you can’t see, not even if you workout all the time) will kick in and try to keep you level and stable in the air. If you are flailing your arms about in the air going every which way then this is where the trampoline will help you.
Jumping straight up and down will get you use to being in the air. If you want to add more authenticity you can strap your snowboard on (just remember to tape the edges so you don’t tear your trampoline). Now you are ready to practice some grabs.

For younger children and teenagers a jumpking trampoline bounce board from www.bouncyhappypeople.co.uk costs only around £60.00 and makes a great gift for christmas if you already have a trampoline.

Grab every spot on the board you can (between bidings only!) and just start playing around with it. Adding your own little tweaks to grabs on the trampoline will set you apart and develop your style for the snowboard slopes. For nose and tail grabs make sure you are grabbing the very tips of the board every time!
Spins/Inverts
This is where a trampoline can come in really handy. Now, spinning/flipping on a trampoline is entirely different from executing the trick on your snowboard… there is no edge work, no transition, and no speed involved in the equation, but…
You can’t just throw a 540 without knowing what it feels like to rotate a spin and a half. That’s where the trampoline comes in.
When spinning/flipping on a trampoline there are several things to take into consideration:
1. Your orientation: are your legs tucked, are you relatively flat based in the air.
2. The windup: Concentrate on how you are initiating the spin. This will help you gauge how much force you need to bring the rotation around on the slopes.
3. Head position: Where are you looking as you do the spin? Think about doing the trick on your snowboard. Where do you need to be looking to bring the trick around completely? At what point during the spin do you spot your landing zone?
4. The landing: Are you landing a nice full rotation? Think about your edgework. The nice thing about snowboarding is that if you under rotate a spin you can kind of recover by sliding it through after the landing… but you need to make sure you are landing on the edge that’s going to give not just dig into the snow and scorpion you down the landing.
In any rotation trick in snowboarding you can expect to be flying blindly through the air at some point. Practicing those in-air aspects on the trampoline eliminates a lot of that guesswork leaving only your approach up the transition to figure out.
Especially with inverts, you want to be landing on your back on a trampoline not hard-pack snow. Inverts put your head and neck in a good bit of danger, it’s good to be sure you are going to land on your feet to some extent before you try it on hill, and that’s where a trampoline comes in.
Once you start understanding these tricks more strap on a snowboard and start throwing in some grabs. Certain grabs aid certain rotations… you will have to play with it and find out what works best for you.

Rails/Boxes
How can you practice a snowboard rail on a trampoline? Well you aren’t going to practicing the slide that’s for sure. First you are going to spray-paint or lay down a line of tape straight down the center of your trampoline. This line represents the box or rail.
See where I am going with this? Now you choose frontside, backside, switch, or regular and jump. This is practice mainly for 270s and above. It is a really good way to get used to staying on target while spinning.
As you do this you are gong to want to pay attention to several important on hill aspects: Make sure you are keeping a good bead on where the line is underneath you, it will help you so much later when you can land dead center on a rail every time.
Also keep in mind that if it were a rail or box you would be sliding after the fact… so take into account how you would angle your bodyweight to land flat based and slide.
Make sure you get comfortable with executing spins on hill before you go try 270s and whatnot because even though you will know how to complete the rotation and adjust to the slide angle, you will need to be comfortable spinning off a transition and getting your snowboard to go where you want.
This is pretty obvious but you should know and be pretty comfortable with all the slides and presses on all the kinds of jibs before you start going after 270s.

That’s my trampoline snowboard practice guide. I cannot stress enough that these are only a means to an ends and you will still have to do a bit of tweaking to make it work on hill with your snowboard. I hope it helps or at least kills some of your downtime waiting to go snow baording again.

Don’t forget, if you are thinking of a trampoline as a family present friends and relations may want to chip in towards the cost to buy a trampoline that is better performing and going to last longer than some of the cheap trampolines for sale. It's a good idea to have a look around on the web before you buy anything.

The New Oval trampolines allow flexibility as they are large but narrow ie 10ftx15ft long so not taking up too much garden width.
Rectangular trampolines generally are high performance and worth the extra money for older children and teenagers but generally don’t take a safety net but rectangular garden trampolines can be dug in and we can offer a guide to digging in your trampoline.

It is a shame that so many people go online and buy the cheapest trampoline – and end up buying something that's totally inappropriate, with poor performance, low weight limits, warranties and too small and this will cause problems it is useful to have done the research before you go shopping for a trampoline in the UK online.

If you Google trampoline you will find a huge range of trampoline sellers. Be sure to have a good look around on the web before you make any big decisions.
Look at after service and delivery, and consider the expertise of the companies selling there are plenty of pile em up and sell them cheap trampoline sellers that won’t we around with trampoline spares should you need replacement trampoline parts.

Remember to consider quality and you should be able to get clear advice form a trampoline seller on the weight limits, the performance, generally the number and length of trampoline springs determine quality the more and longer the better- you don't want a trampoline that's going to break. You may want to place the trampoline order over the phone as delivery of a heavy piece of equipment generally needs someone to assist and sign for the trampoline.
Take your time, do the research and remember that it's a large investment - but totally worth it if you get it right.

Overall it’s a good piece of kit which will last and can be stored for many years.”

And another wrote of the Paddie Rider Lambie “This has been a real hit for my 1 year old. Although too young to use it independently she loves to be pushed around on it and happily uses it to support herself when standing. Great customer service from Bouncy Happy People.”

She says

“ I was so impressed with how easy it was to build the ‘My First Dolls House’. I felt truly pleased with myself and it only took me 20 minutes (including getting one piece in the wrong place and having to remove it)! All the pieces were carefully packaged and easy to unwrap. I was quite surprised that for what ends up being a really beautiful dolls house, there are not that many pieces to assemble (roughly 13 in all) and the instruction sheet is so easy to follow even my seven year old was happy to help (and didn’t get bored and move off).

Like many of the Plan Toys range, the ‘My First Dolls House’ is a beautiful piece of craftsmanship, perfect for stimulating imaginative play. It is made in pale wood, is simple, with clean lines and an open design for easy access for getting dolls and furniture in and out. It also has an attractive floral internal wall, a sliding door which moves ‘ever-so’ smoothly and a balcony on the first floor which my two particularly enjoyed putting their dolls in to farewell the other doll family on their holiday”.

Pen makes it sound so good now I want to have a go!
