Finally getting a trampoline! :D

Not that any of you will really care, but I'm pretty stoked that I'm getting a tramp. I made a deal with ma and pa that if I can level part of that bessy of a yard and pay for the tramp, it's a go. I'm gonna make a tramp board (old skate deck, duct tape, and shoes) and fix the stretchy rope to something, so maybe it would make me a little less of a Taco Bell Chalupa on the water Laughing

.

BTW the tramp is a 14 footer from Wal Mart... HELL YEAH.. $250 Very Happy

ha ha i hope we can get one soon.....but that saftey issue is big

Oh yeah. I figured since our back yard is pretty sloped, that if I dig in to level it out, the grass on one side will come up fairly level with the tramp and the path along the side will be almost level, a HUGE tree is on one side and a fence is on the other Very Happy

If that's not safe, I don't know what is Razz

don't really have to make a tramp board, i just use my wakeboard, the only problem is sometimes if you wipe hard the edges can cut the tramp a little bit but i havn't had any real problems with it. of course i guess if you ride with fins than you wouldn't be able to use it on the tramp

Max i've been able to spin was a 5 on a double bounce, how about you guys?

QNev, im stoked for you!! i just finished setting mine up, net and rope in all last sunday. you should get a big person to jump on it right away and stretch the springs a bit so that you can jump higher.

isn't bouncing on a tramp with something with too much surface area bad for the trampoline? and is that not the reason why they make foam trampoline boards which conform to the dip? just wondering. QNev, have fun with that trampoline.

wakejumper17, that would be the tramp equivalent to a double up right Wink

A wakeboard isn't a good idea for those things hah... It could kill the tips and the net.

This thing is going to be a bitch to get down there. I have to go 3 feet down in part of the backyard, and 16 feet wide and 15 out Sad

It could be a while before we get it in there.. hahah...

Good luck with the digging. I like a wake skate on the tramp imo.

QNev, totally! you have to be ready for those gnarly days when you're landing everything! i only weigh almost 100 lbs though so anytime someone of size jumps on it i fly Very Happy
