I’ve seen a few crazy trampoline stunts, but this one takes the cake. This video is just as the blog title says – a boy on a trampoline dunking himself through a basketball hoop. Haha. But really, OUCH!
Trampolines can be very powerful and all jumpers should have a good understanding of applicable safety precautions before attempting any tricks on their trampoline. Otherwise, you might end up through the hoop!
Watch below for some seriously interesting half-time trampoline entertainment…
Further to my research into the trampoline park craze sweeping across the US, I came across some pretty cool information about games you can play at trampoline parks – trampoline dodgeball!
Just like regular dodgeball, players throw the ball at one another to get the other person out. But unlike regular dodgeball, players have the option to run up the walls, fly through the air, throw the ball and bounce right back down for another go-around. Who’d have thought trampoline could be so much fun!
I still find myself wondering when someone is going to cover the earth in interlocking trampolines so we can all play trampoline dodgeball. One can only dream…
This post goes out to my little sister, Gabby (who’s favourite band features in this blog!) and to all children everywhere wondering – how can we combine the awesomeness of live music performances with TRAMPOLINES!?
Trampolines are everywhere so it seems.. even on stage with popular teen singing stars, the Jonas Brothers!
At their most recent World Tour, the brothers included a trampoline in their live stage performance for a little bit of bouncing fun in between sets. Bouncing off the their trampoline mat and trampoline safety pads, the Brothers drove the crowd wild with their charming playfulness. See, even the Jonas Brothers use trampoline safety pads!
And though I probably wouldn’t advocate doing those type of flips on the trampoline, one thing is certain from this video – trampolines make great stage props, good enough even for the Jonas Brothers!
I was shocked and upset this morning to see footage on Sunrise of the the devastating flash flooding that has run through the Toowoomba region overnight.
With 8 people confirmed dead, and the death toll looking to rise sharply as rescue efforts are delayed by excess flood waters, it seems pertinent to discuss how we can all do our best to protect our trampolines from extreme weather conditions. It is not only our trampolines that are important; we must also protect ourselves and others from flyaway trampolines that have not been properly secured against strong winds and flash flooding.
Vuly’s trampoline anchor kit is designed to secure your Vuly trampoline into the ground should any extreme weather conditions occur. Our anchor kit is unique in it’s locking system which attaches to the frame of our trampolines and then into the ground using sturdy, galvanised steel pegs.
For instructions on how to use your Vuly Anchor Kit, please click How To Install Your Vuly Anchor Kit.
It has never been more imperative to ensure that your trampoline is secured against conditions of strong winds and/or flash flooding. Extreme weather conditions such as these may lift your trampoline off the ground and lead to flyaway, potentially causing harm to yourself, your property and to others.
Use a Vuly Anchor Kit to secure your trampoline! Don’t let this be you!
I hope you, your family and your belongings all stay safe during this troublesome and trying time in Brisbane’s history. I am sure we will all get through this together!

The Word is out! Trampoline parks are officially the hottest and craziest way to get fit this summer!
Trampoline parks are the latest craze bouncing across the US. In these parks, up to 64 trampolines can be stitched together to create an indoor “thrill centre” for jumpers of all ages to bounce with their friends, all while working up a sweat-infused smile.
At the House of Air in San Francisco, online reservations for the centres’ 64 trampolines sell out every weekend and most week nights. The House has also put a big bounce in the economy, employing 30 permanent staff members and is constantly on the lookout for more.
Check out this video clip of people getting some seriously BIG AIR at the trampoline park in San Francisco, House of Air!
It’s no secret that trampoline parks are a seriously fun and social way to get fit. The health and fitness benefits of jumping on a trampoline are endless, and don’t the Yanks know it!
The only question I have is, when will a trampoline park be coming to Brisbane!?

In November, Australian trampoline stars headed to Metz, France to show the French a few Aussie trampoline skills in the World Trampoline Championships.
And representing Australia we’d like to introduce … *drum roll please* …

Bethany equaled Ty’s 43rd placing and Aslin Style finished in 38th.
In the highly exciting syncro event, Bethany Bailey teamed up with Aslin Styles to achieve an impressive score of 78.6 for both routines for 16th place.
Vuly flying high at the Tramp World Champs!
Congratulations to the Australian team for once again representing Australia, and Vuly, in such great fashion. You are a credit to your country and our company!
Before I started writing for Vuly, I took telephones orders in our customer service centre.
One thing that struck me as unusual was the large number of people from the UK, particularly Brits, who would call up asking about our trampolines. As an Australian business, it seemed odd that we had such strong interest from UK customers, seeing as we only offered freight services within Australia.
After sharing this with my boss, he referred me to an article that talks about extraordinary number of trampolines in Edinburgh, UK.
That article states that Hillpark Avenue and Hillpark Gardens in Corstorphine, Edinburgh, houses the largest number of backyard trampolines in any one residential area in the world. As you’ll see in the aerial photo below, 18 trampolines feature in just these two streets alone.
So, the question I pose to readers is: why are trampolines so popular in the UK?
Immediately, I’d like to suggest it’s because British people supposedly have such small backyards. I’ve heard that most people in Great Britain (or London, at least) live in tall townhouses on six perch blocks. So why then, with such a small backyard, choose to fill it with a trampoline?
The answer hit me at once. Trampolines are a fantastic outdoor activity; they make great use of small spaces that would otherwise be left vacant because they’re too small for a pool, a cubby-house or a slip ‘n’ slide for those hot summer days. Trampolines bring life and vibrancy to your small backyard, in any weather conditions, on any day of the week. And don’t the Brits know it!

Hey everyone,
I know that there have been several blog contributors who have talked about their anticipation for summer, but guess what–I am excited too! Summer means watermelon, barbeques, and—best of all–trampoline fun!

Many families choose to buy a trampoline because its health and wellness benefits can be enjoyed by the whole family. In fact, trampolines are the the perfect blend between fun and fitness!
Because of the beautiful weather, kids’ outdoor play equipment like swing sets, cubby houses, and trampolines see a spike in sales. Our staff genuinely anticipates the summer rush. We take pride in providing top-quality trampolines for your family!
What’s your favorite part about summer trampoline fun? Why do you think trampolines make such fantastic summer accessories?

Did you know that trampoline exercise is a very popular way to treat arthritis?
It is true! Trampolines are an excellent fitness tool for those suffering from arthritis of varying severity. In fact, experts are finding that trampoline workouts are one of the most effective methods of coping with the disease at home.
Trampolines provide a very low-impact form of exercise that is kind on painful joints. Regular training and exercise increases flexibiilty and reduces the stiffness in joints. They are very reliable, no-fuss devices and are quite safe for users of all ages.
Mini-trampolines are especially helpful for arthritis sufferers because they can be fitted with a bar or a strap to increase user stability. The rebounder bars are especially recommended for those who have problems with balance during exercise. Mini-trampolines recreate low-impact versions of doctor-recommended physical activity, including walking, gentle jogging, stretching, dancing, and coordination excercises.
Additionally, trampolines are especially useful because they tone muscles and provide a cardiovascular workout. Strengthened, limber muslces are less likely to feel stressed or stiff and are much more effective in supporting and protecting joints that are affected by arthritis.
If a trampoline workout seems like an effective way to relieve your arthritis pain, talk to your doctor today!
