I have one of these. Works MUCH better than the orginal mat on my acon. Buy them 5 cm smaller each way from your original matt. Buy black. The other colours bleach out. Many are NOT UV stable. Keep them covered if using outside. When the mat is wet it's like jumping on oatmeal.
In a...
Why dead?
Looking for the clips from the edge. If your gym is replacing a mat, and it connects either with butterfly wires or with plastic slotted clips, send me a picture. I'd like to pay either you or your club for 150 clips. Need a picture first with a tape measure to pull the dimensions...
I have one. Potential gotchas: They are often NOT UV stable. You need to keep sun off the mat as much as you can. 2-3 years of sunlight destroys them.
They stretch some. If I knew then what i know now, I wouild have ordered my 5 cm shorter and narrower. Means my tramp is a bit too soft.
If you are going to make your own frame make it oversize. This will allow you to use longer springs. If you go overboard on this, you can extend springs using S hooks, or loops of 3mm braided nylon cord.
A gymnastics trampoline typical has a pre-tension on the springs (no one on the mat) of...
One of the things I notice about lots of low level musical routines, and it doesn't really matter what activity: Dance, gymanstics, figure skating, synchronized swimming:
The music is distracting if the player's moves are not somehow in step with the music. music with irregular complex...
1. The under $500 ones aren't worth buying.
2. Trampolines are dangerous, but not THAT dangerous. Yes, there is risk of life altering injury (death, paralyzing) Near as I can figure, they are comparable to BMX bicycles. While 100,000 ER visits result from trampoliens, there are only about 2...
Is there a decent video set to learn trampoline?
I have found lots of vids on youtube, but I find that:
* It's not clear what skills you need to master before trying this one.
* Some have progressions, but many do not.
* Few show you examples of bad form, and how to correct it.
* Few...
There is a young teen session that overlaps with our adult session. The young teens are frequently on the tramps. Watching them, they clearly have had a fair amount of experience, as they are doing things I don't do. Since there is only 6 trampolines, and there is typically about 3 times as...
Not in my gym. In open gym periods, I sign in. There is often one of the instructors present but he may or may not be a trampoline instructor. Often he's at the other end, putting stuff away, vacuuming, or getting stuff out for the next class.
I have never seen a spotter. We have big well...
Some insurence companies investigated the effect of the nets: No change in injury rates over a 5 year period since the law was implemented (australia) Reasons:
* Net not maintained. Cheap nets degraded in sunlight.
* Kids count on the net, and do things they won't attempt without it.
* Poor...
It's about 1 cm shorter in length and 1/2 cm shorter in width. Rebound sells string mats for this frame, and has directions on their website for dealing with the change in spring count. Yes, the acon has 10" springs.

They have multiple ads. I was able to find one that sold them 1 at a time.
Interesting about cheerleaders. Muffed landings and no helmets.
I will admit I didn't check lacrosse stats, as lacrosse is not a common game. But, yeah, a lacrosse ball would have the same impact as a baseball at similar speed, and is far less predictable. I can see them being lethal...
Actually what I want is more control. I use Eurotramp and Re-bound at the gym, and I can easily get 4 foot elevation. I don't do flips yet, but I like to chain moves without a bounce between. So sequences like front layout to seat drop to back drop to doggie drop to feet. I lose too much...
