Bio: In 1996, Stephen Meadows created a 20-foot version of this childhood toy and called it the “ParaBounce”. After successfully using himself as the “Guinea-Pig” (wad of paper) at the Polo Fields in Del Mar, Ca., a video of the maiden voyage caught the eye of Hammacher Schlemmer and ParaBounce was on the cover. Then Steve and his ParaBounce were invited to come to New York and pick up Katie Couric on NBC’s “Today” Show. The rest is now in the History Books. CONTINUE
