in what regard weeman I do some freediving but holding your breath and staying perfectly still doesn't make for a great spectator sport if i blackout it looks good but kinda hard to do it on command and has an obvious risk. There are some skate forums around too and a half pipe should be fairly easy to make up. cft have a mobile pool for try a dives and may set it up and man it if invited or a local club may do it along with cft.

try www.theboardroom.ie they have some portable ramps and do surfing, skating products and are pretty cool guys. Drop them a line and see if they are into it!?

They're based in greystones.

Where's this expo going to be on?

weeman2

I will definatley follow up on the ramp riders but Bungee looks expensive but i will make enquiries none the Less.

Sports Expo Ireland will take place on Sunday June 6th at Limerick Race Course with 60 displays, 30 stands, seminars, classes and activities. Should be good fun. The main event is Strongman Champions League Ireland which will be good.

Keep ideas coming and contacts if you have any your help is appreciated.

Hi weeman, we ran the planet sports show in the Point a number of years ago.

We had Bungee, Zorbing, Rock climbing Wall, the Red Bull Skate, BMX & Roller Blade teams along with a number of other attractions at the show.

You could look into a Ski Diving Wind Tunnel / Rap jumping from a crane / Abseiling from a crane.

The biggest issue we had was a number of other sporting events (GAA and Football) replays that went on the same day, which cut into the numbers that arrived at the show.

Good Luck - Declan
