Getting a puncture has historically been a huge let down. With Friday Randoms we can now say thanks to that shard of glass which ruins your session. With these 10 alternative uses for BMX inner tubes you’ll now be looking forward to that hissing sound as you roll down the street….

1. Special shock resist dog lead

Taking the hound for a run can be a real pain. Particularly if your trusty K9 pulls on the lead almost removing your shoulder from it’s socket. Fear not, simply reuse your old inner tube as a special shock resist dog lead. Attach it to your mutt’s collar, and walk with ease as the elasticity of the tube absorbs the energy from your over excited pet.

2. Fun inflatable outdoor water relax couch

Being outdoors can be such fun. Even more so when you patch up that snake bitten tube, inflate it to max cap (maximum capacity) and throw it in the canal for all to unwind. Hop inside the XL rubber donut and chillax with a cool lager as bin liners of dead pups, empty crisp packets and soiled nappies gently float past, baking in the hot summer sun. For the particularly adventurous fun seeker, how about expanding the possibilities by erecting a smart water slide out of pallets from the nearby industrial estate? Endless summer activities, all free to those who dare. Or who are on benefits.
