if you use a shovel make sure it doesnt have a metal edge. a friend made the mistake put a quarter size hole in his, a few weeks later he was bouncing landed right on the hole and ripped through the bed and landed on the ground.

shovel it and take it down buddy...

i take mine down ever november and had it for 8 years and its still got pretty good bounce...about a quarter of it is new springs i got from a buddy whose tramp blew away in a storm


another one of my friends has 2...never takes them down you get on the thing and your feet touch the ground cause the springs are all stretched.

play smear the queer on it, if you have a rectangle, the holes at each end are like baskets for scoring points. It's pretty fun when there's snow on it.

shovel or you'll end up with 3 feet of snow and have to cross all your springs just so the damn thing will bounce without hitting the ground.

I shoveled mine off this morning... make sure you clear some snow off before you step on cuz its already being weighed down a shit load from the snow
