dude i want one of those! O:

A friend of mine told me he got it on balloonsfast.com =D. If the order is more than a total of $50, shipping is free! This balloon itself is like... $54 I think o.o, but it's veeery durable - more durable than standard latex.

i gonna buy one later... wen the day comes! i cant imagine how awesome it is to ride one!! a big one

You'll be highly satisfied ^-^. If you want to rise off the ground sooner and not have it be as squishy, double it up with a big weather balloon!

hmmm yes , and cus they'r durable and able to touch my god dam roof then i will know when to stop X3

i'v also seen people who put a bigger size balloon into a smaller weather balloon, is this some other kind of durability trick?

Yes, it's supposed to put less strain on the smaller balloon on the outside cause it's being pressed against by the balloon on the inside and not air. Although I'm not sure if that would be a good idea. If anything, I've tried with a friend putting a smaller balloon inside one of the bigger balloons. That worked once, but another time when I tried it, it broke inside the balloon while it had just begun inflating :/. I would just recommend doubling up big balloons to relieve the stress ^-^. The more balloons together, the more stiff and durable they are.

what do you mean with doubling up? bigger balloons or more ?

Putting a balloon inside the other and inflating the balloon on the inside. The more balloons inside one another, the less squishy it is, therefore a greater chance of supporting the weight.

ah i see, well i like the squishyness, so i'll start with 1 X3

wait 8' = 8 feet right? and where can you get this balloon from? :o

balloonsfast.com :3. It's a little pricey at around $50 but they last a long long time. I still have mine and have had mine for almost a year now. It can be inflated to near max of 8' (8 feet) and after being deflated, it doesn't leave stretch marks! So it doesn't really ever develop a weak spot on it. Good luck finding the room for an 8' by 8' balloon hehe x3. Be careful too if you try sitting on it because if you're out in the open and nothing to hold on to, you'll end up rolling off of it and that sometimes isn't too fun heheh. I know from experience >.<.

unfortunately balloonfast.com doesn't deliver to europe :(

D: hmm... well we might be able to work something out :3. If you don't mind paying twice for shipping, maybe I could buy it here and then ship it to you! ^-^

you mean i need to pay you the shipping price 2 times via paypal and then you just send it to me?

You could give me the money for the balloon and I'll buy it and have it shipped to my place, then pay me for the shipping from my place to your place. Depending on the amount, there might be free shipping with a balloon like that since it may cost more than $50.

i definitely want a balloon like that, and it'd be awesome if you could ship it to me :O i will be thankful for ever! but i need to think of a adress to send to
because i dont want my parents to know this, they'r to curious y'know....

btw i'm on msn if u wanna talk to ^^

I'm curious, I found a big red balloon similar to this on eBay but it shipped and was completely covered in powder and doesn't get near as squishy like that D: It's also very rigid and wrinkly when it's deflated. Do you have to inflate it big then let the air out for it to get squishy or was it just nice like that on the first try? (That's what I have to do for the huge one and the 36" one I have.)

depends if it's latex or chloroprene. if it's a weather balloon, should be rather squishy. Sounds like you might have a standard latex balloon. Do you have a picture per chance as to what your balloon looks like? Could also be due to the cold weather, depending on how fast you inflated it from opening it from the box. But yes, inflating it to near-limit, then deflating it a little will help make it a lot more squishy.

Added some comments for you in there. It's a little taut when you first get it pressurized enough to not be really wrinkly but it stretches a bit if you inflate it to 4-5' then let some air out of it. I don't think this is chloroprene. I think a friend had one at a con last year in a room and I don't think it felt anything like what I have, but I hardly remember.

Looks like a weather balloon of some sort for sure. That's the talcom powder they put on the balloon to keep it from sticking to itself when sealed up like that. You don't necessarily want to rub it off if possible. It helps the balloon. Doesn't look like a chloroprene, nor a latex. A weather balloon, sure, but what kind, I'm not sure. Interesting balloon though!

The Chloroprene doesn't ship covered in powder, does it? o.o It made a big mess the first time I aired it up >>

Mine had some powder on it, and a fairly good amount inside. I would find white streaks of powder on the floor ever now and then and wondered where the hell it came from. Come to find out, while deflating the balloon, some would roll out of it XD.

holy balls o.o


not sure its worth that much



but none the less its really interesting and would make an excellent convorsation piece xDD

haha it would indeed make an excellent conversation piece, especially with it being as big as a room from floor to ceiling lol. If you didn't want to pay that much for the cloudbuster, there's always the standard latex 96" balloons which I believe go for around $24. Only downside is if you order only one, there's shipping cost which last I heard from a friend was like another $15 :/. I could be mistaken though, but from my friend's experience, I've heard it's best to purchase the $50 worth to get the free shipping. Maybe if you have a friend who wants a balloon too, you can consolidate orders so it totals up to or over $50 to get the free shipping :D.

yeah x3

He lives in San Jose and will deliver right to the FC hotel if you put your order in soon enough :) I have half a dozen of these and they're very very durable. Very thick.

Eh i live too far from fc to go or get any x3 but maybe one day ill get one just for fun

HOLY WOAH! O.O *covers ears and ducks*

Hehe, no need to cover the ears, this wasn't nearly as close to being fully inflated as it could have been. If he wasn't standing on it, it probably wouldn't have even reached stretching yet o.o.

Wow!! XD I'm amazed! I never saw one that large before! Must be expensive!

$54.80 o.o But that's not too bad considering how durable they are.

That's huge!

Definitely! It had a lot more room to grow though, but we were running out of space hehe.

Looks comfy as helllll!

De quel j'entends, c'est treess confortable x3.

Need a bigger bed!!!!!

Agreed

wow~

Indeed! o.o

need not >u< good big Biiig Balloon~

so awesome. ^^

mmhm

More durable than latex, huh? I like reliability. *waggle*

Mmhm. This one doesn't have any stretch marks on it and I know it's been inflated quite a few times!

That's what SHE said. LAWL.

I'm not much of a balloon guy (more into inflatable toys or mylars) but this loon looks like a lot of fun!

It definitely is! If we had the room to inflate it bigger, it probably would have caused Chance to rise off the bed!

TELL ME YOU HAD A PUMP FOR THAT XD
lol is he putting all his weight on it? thats amazing, i WANT!

Oh hellz yes we had a pump for that lol. The damn thing was starting to get warm too from running for so long XD. It's a cheap priced pump too! One of those air mattress pumps you can get at Walmart for like... $20 I think. Definitely worth the buy!

hahaha ok good, i thought i was gonna pass out just thinking about it!

*grins* I like the Everts 84"'ers myself . Tough, durable and soft as hell. :)

Hehe, cool! Good to know ^-^.

Interesting. I don't have much experience with chloroprene, but I might have to branch out from latex now.

Feels very similar to latex, but not as shiny. You can go for the 8' cloudbuster if you want, or start out with the 5.5'. Only problem is if you choose the 5.5', you wouldn't end up saving much because you'd have to pay the shipping which is like... $20 from what I heard from my friend, so it'd almost be better to just save up to spend the extra and get the 8'.

thats huge

Mmhm, but not nearly as huge as it could have been x3.

oh my, that would take up my whole condo

o3o .... *woofs and pokes the balloon, tail wagging some* .........

^-^ it's still quite squishy! *watches as your finger sinks in to the balloon*

*ears twitch a little at that remark..... hugs the balloon tight and pushes his face into it for a moment* X3 ... >.>; *releases the balloon* that's pretty nifty. *nodnods*

Hehe, aww that's cute. You want a ride next?

ah... you mean it? you'd let me? *smiles, tail waggling some*

*nods* uh huh! sure thing wolf kitty ^-^ *picks you up and puts you on it* there ya go!

*eeps and clings tightly on the balloon, tail waggling furiously as he blushed shyly* heehee! X3 this is soooo cool! thanks Windscar! :3

Sure thing Wolfcat! ...woop! *slips the valve on and causes the balloon to expand even more!* woop lemme..ugh! *tries to turn off the switch, but fumbles with the pump* there! *clicks it off and notices you up against the ceiling with the balloon pressing you up there* o.o ^-^; woops. You ok up there?

*giggles and blushes more, merely giving you a thumbs up as he clung onto the massive balloon* heehee! i'm great, thanks. *he murrrrrs and nuzzles the balloon softly, his tail attempting to wag in the small space that was available*

WOOF! = D

We need to get it bigger next time ^-^.

ok, that I gotta say is an EPIC Balloon, what's the website?
P.S: I faved.

This balloon was purchased on balloonsfast.com ^-^. It's an 8ft chloroprene cloudbuster not nearly as inflated as it could have been.

I'll have to check out that website some time. (in my free-time that is.)

Awesome! I have a 72" and I thought that was big XD
They are fun tho!

Indeed they are! I have a 96" latex as well, but I've never inflated it very big. I prefer inflating this cloudbuster really big instead ^-^.

yea, I have not inflated it to the max, it was still really squishy at 70" tho

If you were to put another 72" inside of it, it would be less squishy and more likely to lift you off the ground along with being a bit more durable than the 1 balloon itself ^-^.

I bought one of those on eBay last year.

Cool cool. Yeah they're fun to play around with.

Now THAT looks comfortable. I'm not talking about the red balloon, either ...

I know right? The beds are definitely comfortable there ;P.

Oh Chance? Yeah he's comfortable too... Could use some air though x3.

awesome!

Thanks! =D

Up, up and away in my beautiful, my beautiful balloooooooon.

i want one. in pink X3 http://www.furaffinity.net/view/5365842 my balloon cant get that big or?

hehe, I've only seen them in Red or Blue. They're 8' cloudbusters made of chloroprene. I don't think that particular balloon of yours can get as big as this one x3 and this one was only inflated to like... 30% it's maximum capacity. You can get one here:
http://www.balloonsfast.com/chloroprene.html

but i will give my balloon much more air X3

Hehe, would love to see the results!

:3 Nano (my balloon) is already very plump. i want to give him 100 pumps with my big handpump X3

So I've seen! Would love to see how that goes (hopefully it's still intact by then) via pictures, and/or video too :3.

and today i have no cam :( he got 30 pumps now. what i can say he got even more plump X3 and still 70 to go ^^

This type of a balloon is a weather balloon made of chloroprene which is artificial rubber. The balloon is designed to be used as a weather balloon and is meant to last up to a certain height for consistency. They're a little pricier than a regular weather balloon, but a little sturdier, so if weight is applied to it, you wont sink right down to the ground compared to a regular weather balloon. They're squishier than a latex balloon, but stiffer than a weather balloon. Kind of a happy medium between the two.

Il ne faudrait pas que ca pete ce gros ballon la!

lol non c'est trop tot pour le ballon à peter x3. c'est seulement comme à 30% o.o.

Justement, il doit être énorme avant d'atteindre le point de rupture!

I've got a 5 ft chloroprene balloon myself and it's lovely, but I'd love to try an even bigger one like that @ - @;

The 8' chloroprene is definitely worth it. I think I got mine back in... September, and it's still like new. What's great about chloroprene is that they don't leave any stretch marks unlike latex, so they can be inflated even more and more compared to standard latex balloons. :3

gettin bigger?

Oh it could definitely get bigger! I'm going to do another photo of this but next time, make it even bigger!

how about you directly with an inflatable video on youtube?

Hehe, it's a possibility! I've already made a few videos on our livestream website of various inflation, just not as big as this. Still big though! Check out our videos here:

mmh :p The same like me


Balloons

Indeed! So cuuute :3 just like you!

Balloons

ball ball ball!!

Biiig ball ball ball!! <3

>;3... check it ya'll, As now, right now, it's only a matter of days.

Cool cool! Hope you get one too ^-^. Be sure to take pictures if you do!

o.o I want one now.

I would totally recommend it :3

I want to pop it!

I want to see it get bigger ;3

We fill it up until it pops? That way both of us gets what we wanted.

At the risk of losing $60... You can do that with yours, but I'd prefer to use mine more than once ;3

I have to say that I would realy love to lay below this balloon right now x3

You're not the only one x3 <3

this is a realy huge balloon!.. is it possible to sit on it? :3

It is indeed! Quite the squish it has too ^-^.

wow this sounds realy awesome... x3 I realy need one for myself at home *giggles*

I SOOOOOOOOOOOo wanna buy a BIG balloon, too!!!

I would highly encourage it! ^-^

Those chloroprene balloons are wonderful! I used to have a red 5.5 foot one and loved it so much, sadly it didn't survive accidentally meeting the rough corner of a shelf while playing around. I gotta find a way to get some more of these home.

erff I hate accidents like that D:. That's why I make sure whenever having fun that any and all sharp objects are either covered, put away, or plenty far away to where that shouldn't be a problem x3. Balloons can get costly to maintain!

Yeah, not only was it over $30 but I really liked that balloon and it was my only one. I thought I had plenty of room, guess I didn't realize how big they get and how much the stretch out. Ill have to be more careful next time.

Very, very impressive, indeed.
Might perhaps pick one up sometime, when I can!

I'd highly recommend it! ^-^

Mhm, I can imagine you would.. What's their texture like?

Similar to latex, just slightly thicker I'd say. Tough to explain, best bet would be to get one to experience it x3.

I guess so! I'll try, then, maybe..
Maybe you should do a picture of it fully inflated. n..n

Wow! I'll have to look possibly getting one of these. They look super fun to ride!

Definitely! But be careful though as they're known to buck you off and they're easy to roll off of heheh.

Hahaha, sounds like a fun challenge!

Mee waaant baloooon tooo <3<3<3<3<3<3

that looks nice!, but i'm a little bit afraid of balloons, i know it's more durable than Latex but...you know
