What is claimed is: 1. An apparatus attaching at least one novelty ornaments onto a substantially planar surface of an outdoor sports equipment, comprising: (a) an elastomeric mounting base comprising an aperture and a flattened bottom surface mounted on said outdoor sports equipment; (b) a coupling device having an upper portion and a lower portion, said lower portion having structures detachably attached to said mounting base; (c) at least one novelty ornament attached to said upper portion of said coupling device; wherein said mounting base has a convex horizontal upper surface; wherein said upper surface of said mounting base forms at least one lip that extends into said aperture, wherein said aperture comprises a rib, and two diametrically opposed gaps at each end of said rib, and wherein said rib is in line with said diametrically opposed gaps; and wherein said upper portion of said coupling device comprises an opening wherein said ornament securely detachably attaches, and said coupling device comprises horizontal extensions connected to said lower portion of said coupling device, at least one of said horizontal extensions engaging said at least one lips of said mounting base. 2. An apparatus as set forth in claim 1 wherein said generally planar undersurface of said mounting base securely attaches to said substantially planar surface by a pressure sensitive adhesive. 3. An apparatus as set forth in claim 2, wherein said pressure sensitive adhesive is double sided tape. 4. An apparatus as set forth in claim 2, wherein said pressure sensitive adhesive is a hook and loop fastener. 5. An apparatus as set forth in claim 1 wherein said generally planar undersurface of said mounting base securely attaches to said substantially planar surface by screws or other mechanical fasteners. 6. An apparatus as set forth in claim 1 wherein said substantially planar surface is securely attached to another substantially planar surface by a rubber band. 7. An apparatus as set forth in claim 1, wherein said sports equipment is a vehicle. 8. An apparatus as set forth in claim 7, wherein said vehicle is a snowboard or skateboard. 9. An apparatus as set forth in claim 1, wherein said ornament is made of a rigid material. 10. An apparatus as set forth in claim 1, wherein said coupling device is made of a flexible material. 11. An apparatus attaching at least one novelty ornaments onto a substantially planar surface of an outdoor sports equipment, comprising: (a) an elastomeric mounting base comprising an aperture and a flattened bottom surface mounted on said outdoor sports equipment; (b) a coupling device having an upper portion and a lower portion, said lower portion having structures detachably attached to said mounting base; (c) at least one novelty ornament attached to said upper portion of said coupling device; wherein said mounting base has a convex horizontal upper surface; and wherein said structures of the lower portion of the coupling device comprise a quarter-turn bayonet-style fastener. 12. An apparatus attaching at least one novelty ornaments onto a substantially planar surface of an outdoor sports equipment, comprising: (a) an elastomeric mounting base comprising an aperture and a flattened bottom surface mounted on said outdoor sports equipment; (b) a coupling device having an upper portion and a lower portion, said lower portion having structures detachably attached to said mounting base; (c) at least one novelty ornament attached to said upper portion of said coupling device; wherein said mounting base has a convex horizontal upper surface; and further comprising a plurality of ornaments and necks of different shapes and appearances, each of said necks comprising a quarter-turn bayonet-styled fastener to lockingly but removably attach to the mounting base. 13. A decorative combination adorning an outdoor sporting good, comprising: an ornament for adornment of the outdoor sporting good, said ornament having a neck portion, said neck portion being of a resilient nature so as to readily bend in the event of a person falling upon the ornament and neck; a convex-shaped base of a polymeric material having a generally low profile with an aperture generally located on its top surface to receive said neck of an ornament such that said neck is lockingly but removably engaged, said base mountable to a generally flat surface of the outdoor sporting good; wherein the combination of said ornament in assembly with said base is small enough that it avoids interference with the use of the sporting good while still allowing for adornment; and wherein said neck portion further comprises a quarter-turn bayonet-style fastener for lockingly but removably engaging the convex-shaped base. 14. A decorative combination adorning an outdoor sporting good, comprising: an ornament having a flexible, non-rigid exterior so as not to represent any risk of injury if fallen upon, said ornament having a neck portion integrally formed to the ornament and descending from a bottom surface of the ornament, said neck portion being of a resilient nature so as to readily bend in the event of a person falling upon the ornament and neck; a convex-shaped base of a polymeric material having a generally low profile with an aperture generally located on its top surface to receive said neck of an ornament such that said neck is lockingly but removably engaged, said base having an adhesively-mountable undersurface to receive double-faced tape or adhesive to adhere to a generally flat surface of the outdoor sporting good; wherein the combination of said ornament in assembly with said base is less than one foot in height to avoid interference with the use of the sporting good while still allowing for adornment; wherein said neck portion further comprises a quarter-turn bayonet-style fastener for lockingly but removably engaging the convex-shaped base.
