MAG Looking for boys mushroom.

[robluvsgym]

Trying to find a mushroom for my level 4 son. He has been saving and is ready to buy one. Please let me know if anyone is interested in selling. We live in Costa Mesa, CA but would pay for shipping.
Thanks!
Jen

http://www.chalkbucket.com/forums/p...mushroom-pommel-horse-trainer.html#post228542 I removed your phone number to save you from being stalked by crazies. Also this is your second thread on the subject. One is enough really. You can always bump up old posts.

 

[robluvsgym]

Oh, ok. Thanks for your help and advise. I'm new here so I haven't really figured out how to navigate the site efficiently. How do you bump up old posts?

 

[bogwoppit]

Just post on them again and that bumps it up. However this is not craigslist and we do not want to become craigslist so we would prefer that people do not post this stuff too often. Also do not put your contact details in the posts, you are asking for the worst kind of span.

^^^ Bump. Bump.

Thanks BlairBob!

We got one off Facebook- we have a local "mommy market board" - sort of a buy/sell/trade that is women only. One lady knew my son was starting out in gymnastics and she contacted me and sold it to me. You might see if there are any local groups like that in your area.

Thanks OwlGalLiz! I'll try that.

From Googling, I found one for sale in Los Angeles. Here is link to the add:

Gymnastics Mushroom - Pommel Horse Prep - $200 (Studio City) : sporting : Losangeles Classified BidBut.Com

 

[BlairBob]

Kinda expensive, I'd bargain for 200 shipped; at the least.

 

[Mom2twingymnasts]

Agree, kind of pricey for a used one. There are others on Google - just thought the OP was in California. I would also talk to the parents of older boys in the gym. We sold ours to a level 4 boy because his mom asked and my son now uses a floor mushroom.

 

[robluvsgym]

Thanks ya'll! I contacted that one in LA and he sold it a long time ago. He can't figure out how to get it off line. I will keel asking around.

We made one, and it was not very hard or costly. Here's the basic idea we used:

how to make a gymnastic mushroom ( do it yourself ) - YouTube

Before we covered the carpet foam, we used duct tape to cover it so it would be smoother under the fabric.

 

[robluvsgym]

What type of fabric did you use? Still looking. About to try and make one.

 

[Quadqueen]

we got the fabric at Joann's....it is in the upholstery fabric area. I believe it's used for boats, although the name is escaping me right now. It's kind of like vinyl.

 

[robluvsgym]

Where did you get the wood round or what did you use? I found one at Home Depot but it was 17.75" diameter. Isn't a mushroom bigger than that?

 

[Quadqueen]

we got it at Home Depot. I think it was 24"?

 

[robluvsgym]

What is the diameter of a mushroom?
