What cool ideas or setups do you have with your trampoline. Right now mine is in the middle of my yard and its getting boring. Do you have a tree next to it or platform or something else?
Pics would be great.

i moved mine beside the pool once and we would jump from the tramp into the pool. also, it was in some next corner of my backyard pretty close to the house and i was able to get onto the roof of the house from my bedroom window, so i jumped onto it from the roof once. whne i landed, i bent my knees like crazy absorbing the bounce, and i still went flying, it was pretty funny

Dig a massive hole, put it in the whole so at like your highest bounce you'll just be able to get out

i'd say if you can set this up semi safely, it's easily your best bet

When I was younger and slamball was cool me and a friend put our tramps side by side with basketball nets at either end and played slamball in his backyard. Except our trampolines were round and above ground.

Another time we made a huge tower out of scrap lumber we got from construction sites to jump off onto the trampoline. The tower was poorly made and fell down/collapsed after like 2 days.

I don't have a trampoline, but one of my friends used to have a really sick one, and we had it set up next to a tree with an old wakeboard rope/handle tied to it. We had a homemade tramp board and would just throw crazy wakeboard tricks all day. Also, taking the trucks off an old skateboard and bouncing on the tramp with it is really fun.

this wouldnt work though, the added weight of the water on top and below the bouncy tarp surface thing would make it not bouncy at all

sprinkler underneath always feels like you get a better bounce too, i have heard that that can wear out the trampoline faster though so idk

i dunno man we did that shit enough times for like 3 summers and we left it outside in the winter every year and i had it for around 4-5 years. i gave it to my best friends little brother 2 years ago and he uses it all fuckin day long, and theyve been leaving it out during the winter too, and its still good as new.

my friend has one at either of his houses, at his moms we built an angled wall next to it going through the springs for wall flips. Then at his dad he put it right next to his childhood structure for jumping onto off of.

Anyone know some bouncy tramps with nets? I'm not looking for anything on the pro status just something like under 800 dollars. Kinda like one you would see in a back yard. I want the bounciest possible

This is what I do, but I don't have a tramp board.

I also do a shit load of tree stalls. We had a contest to see who could get the highest, my friend got 8 feet (measured from where bottom foot touches tree). Just a normal old round tramp too. So much fun. Try 270's onto a tree, that will scare the shit out of you haha.

the one i got was from costco and it had a net and everything and it didnt even have legit springs, they were like flexed plastic rods going around the whole thing but they were like under the tramp so you have no way of ever landing on the springs or anything, and it was honestly decently bouncy. like i wouldnt have been able to do dubs but i could do some nice laid out backflips and shit

Ive heard that crossing the springs gives it more bounce, but im not sure how safe it is. if you search on youtube a bit you can prob find a video of how to do it

would not work, too much resistance added by the water.
