BUYING TRAMPOLINES?

I am really interested in purchasing a trampoline for this summer. Where can you get a good trampoline with good spring for relatively cheap? The bigger, the better. If anybody has any experience or knows any good trampoline brands, let me know. Tell me whatever you can about buying a trampoline. Definitely don't want those crappy elastic band tramps. Who came up with the "safe trampoline" anyways. Kids aren't retarded....

well to get you started, sundancetrampolines.com out of canada, not cheap though.  big departments stores will usually have less expensive and lower quality type trampolines too,

I live in Juneau, AK, so there aren't any stores that sell them that I know of, I am almost sure nowhere here would sell them. Craigslist sounds like a good idea, I am going to go look into that. I want a big trampoline, is there such a thing as a tramp that was too big?

ya there def is. i mean the more space there is between you and the springs there are, the less they have a chance to bounce you right?

BUMP

ok, my tramp broke at then end of last summer, it was a super shitty one with bands that was probably 150 bucks.

so im looking for a new one and i would love a rectangle one but im not gunna spend over $700 or so, so a rectangle is pretty much outa the picture.

i would like it to be as big as possible but still really bouncy.

suggestions?

you are gonna want the official gymnast/olympic ones for the best bounce, they are expensive though

I read the description of that....and i think that is only the safety net and not even the tramp.

look in the newspaper. i got mine from there for 40 bucks and it's way better then a new one. crossing springs works if theyre really steched out but if you cross to many its way worse.

you really just have to try until you like it. it depends on how bad the springs are
