Commuting via Trampoline

“I took the trampoline to work today!” – you did what?! I’m not sure about you, but until today, I’d never seen this much trampoline in my life. It looks pretty darn awesome. And fun. All 52 metres of it.

The massive trampoline footpath installed in Russia has taken commuting to work to a whole new level – now with a spring in your step, literally!! They say that it allows users to move and view the world differently and I couldn’t agree more. I don’t think there would be much trouble getting people up in the morning to go to work via trampoline! This could possibly just be the best idea ever. Who said trampolines were just for the backyard?!

A True Trampoline Champion

So it’s Flashback Friday and today it’s all about our true trampoline champion, Ji Wallace! In the world of trampoline, everyone knows that our ‘Jumping Ji’ is a legend as the only Australian gymnast ever to win a World Championship, World record and an Olympic medal. It’s such an honour to have Ji on board with Vuly Trampolines and we love every second working with him!

Late last year, we brought Ji to visit the local trampoline kids at Redcliffe PCYC and they just couldn’t get enough! Keen beans were spilling out of every young, aspiring athlete as they asked question after question about everything trampoline. Of course, Ji in all his wisdom shared all he had to know, his favourite tricks, top secrets and inspired with stories of the past.

Check out just a few of Ji’s amazing trampoline achievements:

  • 2000 Sydney Olympics – Men’s Trampoline – Silver
  • 1998 World Championships Sydney – World Record
  • 1998 World Championships Sydney – Double Mini Trampoline Team – Bronze
  • 1996 World Championships Vancouver – Men’s Double Mini Trampoline and Double Mini Trampoline Team – Gold/Silver

Ji is definitely one who knows about training hard, and just recently he’s been working towards the 30km “Team to End AIDS” Marathon in LA – we wish him all the best! We can’t wait to keep hanging out with Ji this year, so stay tuned!
