Funfair

This happened on another one of them Legendary Weekends down at Southsea. I remember this funfair ground like it was last week. The whole of the "Bearwood Bmx Full Factory Trick Team" is heading down to the funfair on a Saturday evening. Everything is all good and great, It had been a while since I have been on any rides, I mean, who better to go with than a Team of good friends. We arrive, and the first suggestion that comes up is we all go on the ferris wheel, you can see it uphead in the distance, Quite an interesting size it was too. It was situated right on the edge of the sea, 4 people was allowed to sit in each cage, Since their was a fair few of us, we split up and got into our cages and take our seats. Lucky me I had the pleasure of the ferris wheel with Mr C, Bearwood Tom, and Coley. You each had 2 grab handles to hold onto and a seatbelts, so you could maintain your posture the best you could, The cages would spin around as the wheel rotated, Like if you was Backflipping. The wheel engages and starts to go around, everyone is happy and holding onto the grab rails Tightly, Its starts to pick up speed, the cage is spinning back and forth, not completing a full circle yet, just half and half, that same motion of half and half carries on for a little bit longer. We are all in hysterics and just holding on tight, a real white knuckle ride this is turning out too be. As soon as we have completed our first loop, It just kicks off in the cage. Your going round and round and they are trying to loosen your grip off the grab rail, and open the seatbelt buckle too, You are having to fight them off, at the same time their trying to get a double loop de loop out of this cage, it was bad enough being that high up and being spun around once, never mind a second Loop, then being attacked, and having to attack back. This went on for nearly all the duration of the ride,(Tiring But Funny) When you finally managed to look out to sea, what a beautiful sight it was. The ride was stopped a little early I Think. We was only one cage, out of many that was being occupied by the Team. Lord Knows What Was Going On In Their Cages. You Could Hear Screaming and Shouting In The Air!! The Ride Stops and we get off and are a little dizzy by now, We walk around and come across a Bouncy Castle that was all enclosed in. we all decide to go on this Bouncy Castle. The attendant lets All of us on at the Same time. This castle is Massive, it has got rooms, corridors, Passages, And Windows, covering a good span of floor space. We all get into the castle and get started right away, (There Was Scores To Be Settled From The Ferris Wheel Earlier), It got heavy in there as soon as , Some new Jet Li's was born in that place, The battles going on in there was Wild to say the least, it was not well lit up either. You would be trying to walk as slow and low as possible, hard to keep your balance. Thing was you knew it was coming to you, but not knowing from which angle, meant you was like an Owl. People flying past you in the air, "in a Kung Fu Style-Flying Kick Manoeuvre". Glad it was'nt me on the other end of them. People was walking about, with their backs up against the walls. You would spot someone walking past with their back up against the wall, just going past a window, then you would just rag them backwards through the window and leg it, before they even knew Who, What, Where, or Why. There was a few close calls, We had a good 10 minutes or so in there. There was much bouncy bouncy going on in there, and with it being every man for yourself, they was coming from all over, 360 degree heightened senses on full alert. Nothing But Positive Fun. Lesson Learnt Is Pick The Right People For That Real Funfair Experience. MUCH PEACE AND BLESSINGS TO EACH AND ALL. BEARBMX
