That's either stupid or genius

That's pretty much how i looked at the ad. I started to blast him then stopped and thought about if it would work or not. I'm confused.
 
When I click the pic it blows up abnormally large and wont let me zoom out
 
It definitely works, especially for the budget minded person. They won't hold up as well under zero tire pressure because the balls rub together, heat up, and eventually bust. You can attempt to get by with extra lube in there. They are also heavier, which may not sound like much, but you can easily add a few pounds per tire. For a trail guy or budget racer, it is a viable option, but it isn't the same quality as a real tire ball set up. That being said, I have used the cheaper solution for 2 years and don't plan on changing unless it was free.

Do you suggest "Avengers" bouncy balls or "My Little Pony"?

I run the generic color swirls. They are a little inconsistent, so I measure mine by diameter with a go/no-go gauge cut out of cardboard or wood. 5 psi in one may not blow up the same as another. If you buy a case, though, there are plenty to mix and match.

Can't decide if you're serious or not, I feel the go/no go gauge is either a good idea or good sarcasm.

How noticeable is the difference between the swirl balls and the disney character ones?
 
I am 100% serious.

I haven't used the Disney character ones. I'd guess they are more consistent because the designs have to be more exact then randomly adding the color which is what I think causes the difference. The fad started years ago, before RZRs in ATV racing. Think 450cc quads with tires in the 20"-25" range.

Damn I was thinking the same thing (from a mfg standpoint)...

I reckon a coil spring full of tennis balls makes just as much sense as a tire full of bouncy balls
