Nothing says a fun day at the office like bouncing off your co-worker

As you’ve probably noticed, we get to do some pretty cool stuff as members of the “Insider.” From taste testing all the new restaurants to shooting fake bad guys to riding along with the Concord Fire Department, there’s always a fun adventure waiting for us to try. What can we say? It’s a tough job, but somebody’s got to do it (and we’re just glad it’s us). So when we heard that the Bounce House Entertainment Center at Steeplegate Mall had added those huge inflated balls that allow you to crash into someone else at a high rate of speed and hopefully not get hurt, we had to take them for a test drive. Here’s the lowdown: They’re called KnockerBalls, and there’s 23 of them available for use. They’re intended for people over 15 years of age, but they have ordered smaller ones for the younger kids. They have shoulder straps and handles for your safety, and it costs $10 for 10 minutes. And while that doesn’t seem like much time, it’s actually plenty. You get a little hot and winded running around bouncing off each other. Now, for full disclosure, it probably wasn’t fair that Tim had a slight weight advantage – as you can see from the photos, Jon was either flying through the air or on the ground, but it was fun anyway.
