It ain't f******g fine! I reckon I pumped fer 5 minutes solid - bloody arm was siezing up but no friggin air was going in. Then after giving it up as a bad joke, it wouldn't release the valve.
The only way was to really reef on the thing... tearing the stem orf of course.
Hope the cows find a use fer it - cos I launched it into a paddock.
Do you guys use frame pumps or co2?



= grrr!!
