How to Roll a Bounce House Waterslide

Here we go, how to roll a bounce house combo waterslide! This was the most requested video, so please enjoy!
I developed this technique, and all these little tips and tricks over the years of running my bounce house business, The Jump Off. One day I was training a new employee, and we were rolling this exact slide, and I decided in that moment that I was going to start the KZbin channel based on teaching my bounce house business techniques!
We shot a poor quality test video that is still set to private (maybe for a TBT I'll post it one day ;-) and I sent it to the Bounce House Operators FB group and a few other operators that I was mentoring, and the response was incredible! It was that evening I knew I had found my next project...YOU!
Excuse the poor audio, my mic was jacked...and I also lost a piece of the footage where I start the roll and the technique on how I do that...but true to myself, I decided to JUST GO and publish it as is :-)
Enjoy!

Nick quit his 16 year "career" as as a District Manager for Journeys shoes in August 2019, and while he worked to scale The Jump Off, he drove uber, sold trash that he found on the side of the road, and picked up as many odd jobs (like building swing sets) as he could.
Then in late 2019, Nick hit "The Bounce House lottery" (originleadersh...) and when the pandemic shut everything down in 2020, he sprung into action and took that moment to make The Jump Off what it is today!

Man, you are crazy, i’m 8 years in this business and I can’t imagine how you handle all this bounce houses alone 😱🤣

[@nick_o_glass]

It’s tenacity and gratitude that I get the fi this for a living. No slide will ever beat me. Rolled a 600lb myself last week at pickup while on the phone cause my worker was late.

[@BIGGWAGON04]

Exactly. I'm a big person and still have problems doing it alone. He makes it look easy

[@jorgefernandez456]

Hey man hope you see this. You inspired me to start doing this. I've watched all your videos and done all kinds of research. I am 21 years old making good money at a job I HATE. I cannot wait to get this bounce house business off the ground so I can finally start doing something I enjoy. Please don't stop creating content. You're changing people's lives for the better. It's crazy to think about, but you legit inspired me to chase happiness over social media. Different sides of the world, never met, and yet I look up to you. Super stoked, thank you Nick. Love from Fresno CA.

[@chrisreyes5073]

You have no idea how much this helped me. I just got my first combo and have my first rental for it today. I had trouble while setting up in my yard. You were able to show me what I was doing wrong, and now I'm feeling super confident now!!! Thank you!

[@xNickD337x]

I roll the bounce house all the way. Put the straps under the opposite side you do, then unroll a little, do the “flap” and pull the straps thru. It helps with making a nicer flap

[@nick_o_glass]

Nice!

[@barringtonlyons7567]

Great videos man step by step instructions keep them coming websites and promotions

[@nick_o_glass]

You bet!!

[@chancewestover8635]

I wish I would have seen this video 4 hours ago. Lol. I just received my first three inflatables today by fed ex and decided to blow up my 14’x14’ standard bounce house. Took about 10 minutes to set up but 2 hours and several attempts to get it rolled up tight enough to get the straps back on. Super excited to try it this way next time. OPEN FOR BUSINESS!

[@nick_o_glass]

Hahaha. Yep sounds about right, welcome to the biz!! Pro tip, the ROLL is no biggie, the FOLD is the key

[@chancewestover8635]

What I figured out is that I was doing a quad fold instead of a trifold.

[@nick_o_glass]

@@chancewestover8635 most are tri see do have a few 15x15 that we have to do quad

Not only was this video educational. But entertaining as well, can tell you've been doing this a while. I have an inflatable tent 14*15*12h any suggestions for rolling that better? Just got it and attempted first roll up 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@nick_o_glass]

Thank you so much! It’s just practice and trying little changes to the process until it’s tight, small, and compact!

[@cynicustv]

What air blower do you use? What’s the wattage/hp?

[@oscarsanchez9336]

Thank you for making this videos I’m going to do the same on mine and I want to ask what company do you buy that combo I have the same

[@nick_o_glass]

Spacewalk

[@charliebrown2973]

Nice work man, Wats a good product to lubricat you water slides after each use??

[@nick_o_glass]

Not needed

[@kbanks02]

this may be a dumb question... but do they have blowers that reverse so you an suck the air out?

[@nick_o_glass]

It’s an attachment and you use the blower backwards. It’s ok not that effective

[@jpedroza602]

Nice video. Now o know wy my calfs be hurting on Mondays😅 It's all on the legs

[@nick_o_glass]

Haha yep!!

[@tiojoe9245]

I don’t know. I’m rolling my combo for the first time and I can’t seem to get it quite flat. Seems my material is thick too

[@nick_o_glass]

You’re just new

[@PartyFavorEventRentals]

*I like watching others techniques and possibly learning new or different ways. Good content! I also noticed that is a Jungle Jump unit? We have 6 Jungle Jump units out of our 20. We have TNT and JO as well.*

[@nick_o_glass]

Yep Jungle Jumps. Technically it’s a spacewalk unit but Jungle Jumps manufacturers there stuff so one in the same! I have a BUNCH of jungle jumps stuff.

[@PartyFavorEventRentals]

@@nick_o_glass They have great quality

[@kjturner7233]

Where did you get that hand truck? I like the way the strap goes around it and I also like the small wheels so you can just pull it.

Hi bud thanks for putting out these great vids, I recently purchased 2 older 26ft waterslides and I'm trying to find liners for the bottom pool with velcro. Do u have and place I should look at. Thank u

Dimensions of this bounce house full sized and folded up?

[@nick_o_glass]

13ft wide 40ft long

[@jesticespitzer1757]

Hey nick!!! Just started fallowing you on here! I started researching the bounce house business about a month ago and I’m seriously thinking about giving it a go. I plan to start with 4 inflatables for now. My question is. Right now I have a 5x8 trailer. Do you think it would be enough to start off with? How wide is that trailer that you just loaded onto? Thanks!!

[@nick_o_glass]

Yep you’re good to start! Run with that until you’re too busy then by 7’ x 16’ tandem axle With electric brakes. Future proof yourslef plus buy once cry once. We have three 7’x 16’s now and the 6’x14’ just sits

[@bryanmarcial4644]

Very helpful video, thanks! May I ask what straps you’re using? They seem quick and easy lol

[@nick_o_glass]

They’re the best I love them…out of stock right now though 🤔 amzn.to/3jM6BwR

Where can I find banners for my inflatable

Try ninja jump

Quick question where can I get a dolly like yours

[@nick_o_glass]

Rollsall.com

[@T.sotelo559]

Hey man quick question if the side gate of a house is narrow for the slide to fit how do you make it fit?

[@nick_o_glass]

We call it the smoosh and push. You lay the unit down, jump on it, and the squeeze it thru since it’s skinneer

[@slowuwu]

Try rolling the slides over here in the UK, thicker the material makes it a lot harder buddy

[@nick_o_glass]

The vinyl is thicker over there?

[@slowuwu]

@@nick_o_glass yeah its real thick, have you got any socials. I'll send you photo if you want. i own a bouncy castle business and my slide weighs around 480-490 pounds

[@nick_o_glass]

@@slowuwu Jesus!!!! That’s the weight of a 19ft waterslide. Why are yours different? Yeah DM me on Instagram @nick_o_glass

[@alexanderxx503]

I got a combo unit I cant move it 😖 so dam heavy 😓

[@nick_o_glass]

It's not too heavy, you just havent moved anything that big yet. We have multiple waterslides that are 800 lbs we move just fine

[@julioletona9664]

Can I still roll the bounce house with the stopper from the front the same way ?

[@nick_o_glass]

Absolutely man. We take these pools off in the fall. They go back on today actually!

[@madtoker1741]

Couple things Nick. I noticed you didn't use a tarp on the concrete isn't it more likely to get damaged on the concrete without a tarp? I have bags for mine at least my bounce house and my combo. do you not have bags or are they just too much work? Thank you in advance

[@nick_o_glass]

It was just blown up on concrete to clean it! But I still don’t tarp them on concrete, just on grass or gravel. And yep I sandbag them at all rentals on concrete

[@madtoker1741]

Thank you but I didn't mean sandbags I have covers did I put it over to Inflatables after I roll them all of ours are brand new so the wife wants to put them in bags. Is it a waste of time?

[@madtoker1741]

The bags are from the manufacturer same material as the inflatable

[@nick_o_glass]

@@madtoker1741 OH yeah the bags. No I’ve never used them. Too slow and no point IMO. They’re in a big ass box in my shed hahaha
