An iconic 80's toy consisting of an inflatable rubber ball of about two feet diameter with two "horns" protruding from the top. The rider sits astride the spacehopper, grabs the horns for balance, and boings around the back yard. Then granny has a turn, then we all go inside to watch Krypton Factor.
