Australian football?

Question

I just recently returned from Australia where I purchased 2 Sherrin "Kangaroo" brand official Australian footballs. Now that I'm back in the States, I can't seem to pump them up. The standard ball pump here seems too small to correctly fit in the ball and keeps letting air out. Were the balls defective to begin with or do they use a different size pump in Australia?

Answer 1

Yes what Richo Fev said

Answer 2

sure

Answer 3

if you go to a service station, and use the air hose that you use to pump up your tyres. press the outlet down really hard on the inlet to the ball, and press the trigger. It works, trust me.

Answer 4

There is an attachment that screws into a bicycle pump which is what you need.

You may have to do some internet shopping to get one if your back home.

Answer 5

Have you tried the old pump action bike pump?

Answer 6

yep when you don't have the right attachment go with richo,fevs solution compressed air works every time. im sure your local servo could help you out.

Answer 7

Try buying a spear attachment from a sporting goods store. They have the same bladder opening as a basketball.

If that doesnt work then put some vasaline around the spear to seal the opening when you are filling it.

Answer 8

Do what Richo Fev said, it does work.

Answer 9

we just use a bike pump with a needle thinging or it
