Team Trampolining Stunt Ideas
The first trampoline was invented in 1936 by Larry Griswold and George Nissen. Both men were members of a gymnastic team from the University of Iowa. Many families enjoy trampolines at home for recreation and exercise purposes, but should never attempt dangerous stunts. For professionals searching for new stunt ideas, the following list should prove helpful.
- Two or More Gymnasts: Two or more gymnastics can perform stunts such as twisting triple flips to music. Strong jumpers may incorporate props and costumes in their routines.
- One Trampoline and Two or More Gymnasts: Trampoline shows using one trampoline may be performed with two athletes using props such as balls, skis and snowboards. Complex gymnastic tricks reaching heights of 25 feet may be obtained on a single trampoline. An announcer adds to the suspense and entertainment value. The trampoline should measure at least 16.5 feet long by 10.5 feet wide.
- Two Trampolines and Three to Four Gymnasts: Professional athletes may try performing with two trampolines and three to four gymnasts. Synchronization is important for safety purposes and requires lots of practice and precautions. Due to height requirements for the jumpers, it is best not to suspend items overhead.
- Two Trampolines, Three to Five Gymnasts and a Transparent Wall: The gymnasts perform synchronized stunts to music utilizing the wall for special flips in an extreme trampoline show. Gymnasts must train with special safety precautions before publicly performing these extreme stunts.
- Three Trampolines, Six to Eight Gymnasts and Two Transparent Walls: This is a synchronized performance utilizing three gymnasts at a time featuring running and flipping. Gymnasts may utilize the double walls for special acrobatic stunts.
