We’re really excited so let’s get to it!
#1 PEOPLE ARE AWESOME 2016: BEST TRAMPOLINE TRICKS EDITION
Why we love this video: In today’s world, people are too focused on the negatives. While this was a natural tendency to help us survive in the prehistoric world, today it’s mostly unnecessary.
We need more positivity in the world. We should also take some time to appreciate the incredible opportunities and innovations modern society has brought rather than constantly needed to complain or protest about the small inconveniences that remain (or even create problems that don’t really exist).
Favorite parts of the video: It was really difficult for us to choose our favorite clips from this video. For one, there’s never a dull moment in this trampoline video because of the excellent song selection.
Highlight #1 0:18 — Our first highlight has to be at 0:18. At this part of the video, a man cradles what appears to be his child against his body and he does a backflip. While we may choose not to engage in such risks with our child, the toddler is extremely cute and happy after the father is successful.
Highlight #2 1:42 — There is some serious skill and coordination going on at this point of the trampoline video. A man has a running start, takes a single jump unto and off the trampoline followed up by him landing on his hands which are inside of rollerblades. #NextLevelImpressive
Highlight #3 3:06 — At this part we see a man doing super high bounces and flips on a trampoline. Under him, however, are children and teenagers doing flips from one side of the trampoline to another while he is in mid-air. Watching this we felt anxious he was going to land on someone, but the people in this video really coordinated this well!
Highlight #4 4:02 — This is undoubtedly the best part of the video. We’re privileged to watch a white-haired grandpa do different flips and maneuvers on the trampoline while telling us, “Always remember, life is too serious to be taken seriously. Never stop playing or you’ll get old”
How profound is that? Plus, it’s a truth sweetened by the fact that it’s told to us by a 60-year-old man who is bouncing circles around all of us.
#2 TOP 10 Trampoline Fails! | September 2017 | Funny Weekly Fail Compilation | Viral Video Montage
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cm7DNG6a0mQ
Why we love this video: This video shows the sometimes forgotten risks we face we jump on a trampoline, however unlikely they are.
What we’d really like to point out though is that this video is a prime example of the fact that the risks of trampolining increase dramatically once you stop using trampolines the way they were intended to be used.
This video also demonstrates this in a comedic way. Don’t just give your child a boring lecture trying to convince them to have safe habits while on the trampoline. There’s all too high of a chance that they’re either going to tune you out or nod their heads but disregard the things you’ve said as soon as you leave home.
Showing them this video and laughing with them in coordination with explaining the risks of injury the trampoline may bring will likely be much more effective than simply talking at them.
Favorite parts of this video: While you are likely to get a few laughs out of this video, we like that it provides you with excellent example footage of what can happen when you try to use your trampoline in a risky manner.
This video shows exactly what can happen if you try to jump off the roof onto your trampoline, try to jump from your trampoline to your pool or try to do complex tricks without a safety net.
Highlight #1 0:05 — The video starts out strong with a girl jumping from the top of a children’s playset onto the trampoline and a boy saying, “I’ll catch you!”.
This is followed by her falling through the trampoline, and another girl laughing hysterically while yelling, “I got that on video!”
Highlight #2 0:36 — This clip shows a boy standing on top of what looks like either a shed or the edge of a small house. It’s clear the boy intends to jump off the roof and bounce from the trampoline into the pool. Unfortunately, the execution doesn’t go as planned.
When the boy jumps from the roof he lands on the trampoline. He bounces from the trampoline straight into the liner of the pool SMAAAASHing his face in the process. The best part is hearing what is conceivably the mom in the background say, “See I told you!”
#3 2013 Ultimate Dodgeball Championship Episode 2
Why we love this video: Everyone played dodgeball as a kid. While dodgeball is a lot of fun by itself, it’s taken to a whole ‘another level playing trampoline dodgeball! The players in this video are obviously very skilled, but the biggest reason we love this video is that it makes the game of trampoline dodgeball look so fun!
While we haven’t played trampoline dodgeball before, this video makes us want to try it out sometime! If you’re looking for a unique birthday party venue for your child, a trampoline park and a game of dodgeball on the trampoline may be an awesome choice. Watch this video and we think you’ll agree!
Highlight #1 3:55 — Here we saw an excellent display of coordination by Smith. He used his ball to block two incoming dodgeballs from his opponents. Unfortunately, the referee made a poor call and called Smith out.
The replay showed that this clearly wasn’t the correct call. It doesn’t make Smith’s excellent play any less respectable though.
Highlight #2 5:33 — The player on one team named Wheeler faces a tough 1v4 situation. He makes some excellent dodges and a couple of powerful throws later he finds himself right back in the game at a significantly less lopsided 1v2.
His difficult hand is just too much to overcome, however, and he ends up falling to the other team. Wheeler does demonstrate though that a game is never over until the other team had knocked out each player from the other team.
Highlight #3 22:20 — Absolutely brutal headshot here. You ever heard the announcers comment on it. “He’s heading to the sideline looking for an ice pack” Hahahaha!
