the red one is a bit softer, so you'll have more grip. (as I've heard)

If you really wanted an air shaft you could make one. Brian explained to me how to do it its not really that hard I just don't have the tools for it. Literally its just a hollow shaft that holds air. So since the shaft is already hollow you just have to seal it at the bottom somehow where the bounce pad is so air doesn't get out. Then very very carefully you have to drill a hole on the top piston part to let air get to the tube. Easy if you have tools for all that stuff.

The way I did it for my double vurt was I literally drilled a hole through the middle of a bolt. So it held the thing on still, but also let air into the shaft. If anyone wants to know the full details of how I made the double, i'll post them. haha.

@ PogoMattXD...m8 remember on a tramp if your there to "f shit up" it doesn't hurt (most of the time), you go around on a airshaft thinking your top shit and f-ing up like 10 feet in the air....God help the paramedics that come to your rescue...just keep that in mind before attempting to pogo to the moon :D

Just note that hand made stuff will never work as well as you want it to. Example, Ryan's leaky double :D
