How do YOU get extra bounce on tramps?

what are some other ways do you get extra bounce on tramps besides getting double nounced by your friends? platforms, ladders, trees, etc.

i usually get the whole trampoline wet. I,m planning on making a brand new summer setup and putting the drop in ramp next to my trampoline so i can jump of it

cross the springs to form an X

bounce on a hot day, metal expands in heat meaning springs are bigger and more bounce.

hold a heavy anvil in your arms and throw it away on the lowest point, you'll get catapulted upward like never before....

can anyone confirm that this works other than the 2 people on that thread?
i'd be afraid of the springs flying out of the holes or something because i have a 12 ft little kid trampoline and the weight limit is 200lb as it is.

It works, just dont do it on a cheap tramp as it can pull the loops on the mat off.

yeah, i get it wet. but just a little bit, so theres not actually pooled water or anything cause then its slippery. put your sprinkler on mist and then wait a few minutes. on a hot day. works nicely.

Crossing your springs kills it. Probably the easiest thing you can do, it wont fuck your tramp and wont shoot off, even on cheaper tramps. Dont cross all of them tho, leave 2-3 springs in between each X.

buy shorter springs. we just went from 7.5" springs to 7" springs, and it launches me higher than the safety nets. double backflips are nothin

we just got a new trampoline yesterday, and it came with extra spring. there is a way you can put them on for lots more bounce. the tramp was expensive so maybe not the most cost effective plan

You can super bounce, this is when you and a buddy bounce at the same time. Your buddy will bounce slightly ahead of your bounce and you will get a super bounce....if you and buddy starting bouncing at the same time you will eventually feel it....you then just have to time it right....but if alone, crossing springs is a good idea....

ive bounced on a few spring free tramps. the ones ive gone on have not been as bouncy as regular ones. you bounce about 2/3 as high.

Cross springs (i have know a tramp to break from doing this)
new springs (you can buy nicer ones)

getting it wet seems almost not worth it... making it slippery? and you get all wet when you fall?

just get a better tramp. Crossing springs helps a little if it's really that shitty. Double bouncing can get you more air but it's sketchier. Worth spending an extra hundred bucks to buy a good one
