So basically, I want to save up to buy a trampoline to get over the post ski season withdrawals and train for next season. I know pretty specifically what type I want to get buy I come to newschoolers for advice on which model is best to buy, where to buy it, and how much it's going to cost being as I've seen some good edits made from newschoolers.

I was looking at getting an in-ground rectangular shape trampoline and just put some pads on the ground around it.

-Where is the best place to buy
-How much is this going to cost me

I know basically nothing about good trampolines except for what i've seen in videos.
All help is appreciated and ill be sure to hook up the karma with helpful responses :)

You better ask your parents if you can dig a big ass pit in their backyard first.

the legit flybed tramps are going to run you 2,000+ but a regular rectangular tramp will range from around 800-1500. the mats are relatively spendy too for just being foam surrounded by pvc. and if you put it in ground, the most important thing is to have proper drainage.

I'd dig some recommendations for websites too, being as that would probably be the easiest way to purchase

I assume you are still a kid living with your parents and going to school. If that IS the case, I have to advise you against buying a proper gymnastics trampoline. They are very expensive and not needed for a backyard tramp set up.

I've had a few trampolines in my day and getting a medium sized round one (13'/14') from Canadian Tire (or Walmart or whatever) for like $300 will do you just fine.

$300 is a lot easier to spend on a trampoline than $2000+

ive always wanted a gymnastics trampoline but they are way to much

go buy a circle one and another and another and another.

if you dont go through trampolines that fast 2-3 years a piece, you dont go hard enough.

you don't invest in a trampoline, you purchase one.

unless you already spend a lot of money at the trampoline center I guess.

When I worked there I could tell you where any product in the store was by the aisle. (99 total) Except the 20 auto parts aisles, I would be about 50% on them

Quiz me, I dare you
