Square Trampoline

Looking at buying a 13 foot square trampoline. Have no experience with trampolines at all. Was wondering if anyone could comment on the size: will a smaller trampoline be conducive to jumping higher? What size do you prefer for a combination of not falling off easily and being able to jump high?

Anyone have any experience with Skywalker Trampolines?

And yes, I have already searchbarred.

square will bounce you higher than round. do you have a measurement for how wide it is? Only square i've ever jumped on was kind of sketchy because you jump super high and it wasn't that wide.

Well it's 13 foot square, so 13x13. It's around 550 bucks (without shipping), so I'm thinking thats a pretty good deal, and it seems as though the company has pretty good reviews. Just wondering about square vs rectangular. I think the concensus is that round tramps are inferior.

If the trampoline you are talking about is blue then it is a really nice trampoline for its price.  You will probably have to spend over a thousand if you want to get a better one.

well i have a old Olympic tramp and its a rectangle. I have enough bounce to 1 1/2 backflip and cork really easyily (claim?). and i could prob bounce higher if i weighed more. I dont kno what brand it is but yea i think that a square tramp would be better..
