I simply CANNOT DECIDE OMGOMGOOMG!


what do you think?

[Jon P]

I think that deserves a btwist-round is what i think!

I wanna trampoline! =[

[Vaughnya]

rectangle ftw

[Reim]

Circle! It bounces you into the center!!

[Dragonic MiKe]

Cirrrrrcle.

Much betar for teh trixxorz.

If you're looking for tonnes of height go for rectangle though.

Personally I prefer the circle cause it gives you some floor space to play with. :)

[Redfire]

circular.

if it's a rectangle you will be confined to one plane of tricking and won't be able to practice those rambunctious moves that go all over the place. you know the ones i mean.

...unless it's an unconventionally large rectangle.

rectangle

[KillTech]

idk the rectangle one i have is fucking huge and it owns!

[Kalvin]

octagonal.

[Redfire]

hexagonal

[Surge]

Circle pwns.

[taylorrr]

triangle

[the padwan]

said it before and i'll say it again DIG IT IN. It turnd your tramp into a : tramp, "fauxm" pit, (see what i did there) and a spring board.

[DraKe]

Circle, they are the best imo.. And fuck that double cork is beautiful!

[Skippy]

circleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[simon]

go rectangle if you have $1500 to spend.

[Skippy]

Fuck it, get a bouncy castle. They're much more fun then trampolines

[saunders]

a rectangluar (new word?) circle one

but seriously though, bouncy castles are more fun because of teh wallflips

Very clever. :wink:

[Rudy]

just get a trampoline then dig it into the ground like padwan said there for you can trick on and off of it

[Dragonic MiKe]

Digging a hole that deep might cause problems though. Like hitting a water pipe... or a gas pipe... or hidden pirate treasure! :pirate:

[simon]

or could collect rain water.

[Dragonic MiKe]

or could collect rain water.

Don't be ridiculous.

[saunders]

Don't be ridiculous.

yes finding hidden pirate treasures is way more likely :pirate:

[AJCN]

The rectangle just is bigger in the shapes you posted but the circle can be just as big.

Circle, wheel and life please!

[waterboy]

circle

im comin over everyday when u get one beyotch

[Rook]

I prefer circle but it depends what you want to do with it...

[Rudy]

Digging a hole that deep might cause problems though. Like hitting a water pipe... or a gas pipe... or hidden pirate treasure! :pirate:

yes, that is why you map out the area for those kinds of things, the pirate treasure is jus an added bonus, because if you find treasure screw the trampoline build a gym!

or could collect rain water.

this is true, but all you would have to do is cover it with a tarp when/before it is raining

[the padwan]

or could collect rain water.

Someone already posted about this and Mastersyrup said exactly how to do it. I say dig in cause it stops you falling from height.

Go with circular cause it gives you less bounce and is more realistic for trick progression

[Flowers]

Yea where is mastersyrup he had a nice tut

[diogoo]

circle, ftw.

[alpha7158]

ace, if you get it will it be your trampoline?

[The13thAce]

circle probably. more realistic for tricks, more landing space, and much cheaper, generally.

[Ambitrixterous]

the answer is either. I train on both and usually the rectangles are a bit springier (is that a word?) but you can really get stuff goin on either one, be careful training swing thrus and stuff that lands on one leg be sure to bounce on one leg for a while first all the time... and I would suggest going for less spring it'll help in the long run!
