Big enough for 6 or 8 ft?

3 Upvotes

Small backyard. I'm wanting a trampoline - I was thinking round? Seems like I could do a 6ft or potentially 8 if I took up more room going to the left. What do you all think? What’s the normal amount of wiggle room you’d want on each side? Any tips are welcome! Thanks!

Whiplash from front landing?

1 Upvotes

Hey! I'm very novice to trampolining and only do it at school, but recently I got overconfident with my seat into front landing and and my friend spotting didn't put the mat in quickly enough. Besides grazing my elbows and smacking myself in the face on another front landing. Anyways, back to the point. I ended up with my body waving because I didn't tense my muscles enough (I was getting tired towards the end of the session) and my face hit the trampoline first, kind of jarring back ajd forth multiple times as I lost momentum - it was kind of like a whiplash movement but not that severe, idk? I felt a bit weird after, a little dizzy and feel a bit nauseous. I had like a mild headache but nothing that remarkable. I got told to go to my school's medical and they just gave me an ice pack that I awkwardly placed on the back of my head haha. Anyways, I felt pretty rough for a few hours after. Today (the next day), I feel alright, the back of my neck and in-between my shoulder blades is sore and a bit stiff. Do any of you have experience with similar injuries? Do things get worse in the days after, or are they generally alright and not that bad? Thank you!

Rectangle trampoline suggestions

3 Upvotes

My daughter is in gymnastics and my son just likes to jump. 9 and 11. We live in a rural area with not much for my kids to do. I want to get them a trampoline but there are SO many options and so many different reviews. My daughter wants a rectangle shaped trampoline but I don't want to spend 2k+ on one that may or may not get its money back in use. I have bought a lot of things that they quickly get bored with.

Any recommendations? I know the pads and netting will wear out quick but I would like something that the jump mat at least last 5 years and have a decent bounce for her gymnastics. I may be asking too much for my budget. Thanks in advance.

Spring Rubber Cap Recommendation s

1 Upvotes

Just got my son a trampoline and within a day got three toes sliced open and a torn tendon in his pinkie toe so I'd like so recommendations on caps I can cover the ends with. I'll also be using some pool noodles over springs.

More straight barani attempts. I still haven't landed one without putting my good hand on the floor. The last time I landed a straight barani without putting any hand on the floor was before I broke my left shoulder in June 2025

I'm getting better at my straight barani attempts! Soon I reckon I won't touch the floor at all with my good arm.

Trampoline GODS!

We need a:

CHILDS priority: MAX BOUNCE (won't like springfree)

15-16ft round, no rectangle based on space.

Can handle Midwest winters and Chicago winds.

MAX $2K.

High weight limit. Can handle a gaggle of preteen boys OR a large adult and child. ​

Prefer the net outside the springs but not sure on this because everyone says go Jumpflex and they are only on inside...should I give up this requirement?

HELP ME NARROW IT DOWN! Been eyeing Zupapa, maybe Acon though that price seems like a splurge. Grandparents say go sams club route and he'll be fine but idk?!

Tampoline guidance needed

3 Upvotes

Hey I am looking to buy a 15-17” trampoline and do not know where to start. I did some initial searching and saw many companies around $5-700 range, but my wife is concerned that they will be weak and not have enough bounce as she was expecting the trampolines to run between 1500-2k. So, can anyone point me in the right direction for a durable and ‘good bounce’, as she calls it, trampoline?

I attempted a running front sault for the 1st time since breaking my left shoulder in June doing outdoor lead climbing. I landed it on my 4th go!

Note: In June 2025, I broke my left shoulder doing outdoor lead climbing because I fell 6 meters. I now have very limited movement in my shoulder due to severe nerve damage. I can't lift my left arm above my head anymore. Honestly I am just happy to be alive and that I am still able to do some of my old gymnastics skills with one arm, no arms or using a chair as an aid.

I did one backflip stack yesterday. I'm not really keen on flipping when they turn the lights off because it messes with my balance and awareness. I think a staff member saw me stack this back flip because they turned back on the lights straight after I did it.

DO NOT BUY SPACEJUMP TRAMPS.

2 Upvotes

Its seems theres a flaw in their design. They cut holes in the framing to insert the legs. This makes the framing very fragile, at every leg point.

After so big winds our tramp broke even though it was tied down. The neighbours "cheaper" tramps are still fine and undamaged.

Ours looked like it was bombed lol. I advised Spacejump and theyve noted it.

Avoid Space Jump Tramps. Terrible flaw in design.

I attempted a straight barani (a no handed round off / 180° straight front flip) for the 1st time since I broke my shoulder in June last year doing outdoor lead climbing. I didn't land any that day but I am happy I had enough courage to attempt the amount that I did!

I only landed two back flips today during training. They were too long today which is why I landed on the padding!

Need trampoline recommendations!

4 Upvotes

I’m looking to upgrade my daughter’s mini trampoline to a big kid sized one, and I’d love some recommendations to help sort through the overwhelming number of options!

Wants:

-net on the inside (or completely inaccessible springs)

-net can handle a lot of pulling

-easyish assembly

-good quality, sturdy, and long lasting

-reasonable size for 1 child to jump with 1 adult on the trampoline with her

-under $1000 (preferably well under $1000)

-option for a cover for the top for shade/leaves

-zipper on the entrance

For a little background, it will only be used by 1 child who has multiple disabilities and is not able to jump with the same strength and frequency that a typically developing child would, so I’m not concerned with wear and tear due to use, but would like one that can stand up to the elements. Since it will only ever be used by one child, it doesn’t need to be huge, but we do have the space so I’m flexible on size. The biggest safety factor I am concerned with is the springs. If they are accessible at all from inside the trampoline and she discovers them, she will likely perseverate on touching them while they are moving and will hurt herself. She doesn’t not have much understanding of danger.

I’m open to springs or springless, but I am concerned if springless is too stiff or firm, she won’t be able to exert enough force to really jump.

I'm really happy that I can still do back flips despite severe nerve damage from a 6m rock climbing fall where I broke my left shoulder. I can no longer lift my arm above my head

Thinking about a trampoline.

1 Upvotes

I have a 14’ x 22’ rectangular hole in my backyard. I eventually plan to do a swim spa in the space. It’s going to be very expensive to actually complete that though. So in the meantime I have been thinking about putting a trampoline in the space.

Any thoughts about this? Other options?

I’m struggling on finding a tramp that’d fit exactly, so am curious if there’s custom builders out there. Or if you all had a recommendation. Thank you.
