Gyrototter

Children have all the fun, or so it seems. For the first many years of life, we are encouraged to play, play with others, be played with and so on. "Hey you, let's play"...
Adults, on the other hand, are rarely encouraged in such a way. Adult leisure is more centred around exercise or alcohol rather than pure enjoyment. With this idea in mind, i set out to create an adult sized play apparatus. Adults are not so easily amused and have often become jaded by years of disappointment and perceived sufferings of day to day life.

The Gyrototter is a fun ride. It goes up and down (like a see-saw) as well as 'round and 'round (like a 'roundabout). An extra-clever individual might have entitled it The Combination Teeter-Totter and Roundabout. But that isn't me. Gyrototter, Rotototter or Pitch and Yaw-saw are amongst the favorite appelations. The Element of danger makes this ride all the more exciting. A newer, safer model is in the mix of course. In terms of fitness, a pair of athletic riders can easily burn five hundred calories per session*. Take a look at the video.



There just arent enough toys for adults these days. Don't get me wrong, I like kids. The yougsters get all the fun stuff and the adults get all the bills and substance abuse problems. This portable amusement device disassembles into three pieces which can be moved to like wherever. Safety features have been a key element of the design since the Mark 1. Counterweights allow riders of different weights to ride comfortably, enjoyably and safely together. Tangent wheels guard against sudden stops. Communication is very important, be it verbal or using intuitive physical sensations as well as the general understanding that you don't want to send the other person flying off. The experience can be gentle and relaxing or wild and physically demanding, it's up to the riders to decide.

All riders are briefed on technique before taking part and generally, first rides are taken with an experienced rider.
