outdoor playground trampolines

Here’s something I’d never seen before.

Small, tight trampolines built into the dirt. Kids love them. And they looked surprisingly safe. (Too tight to flip from.)

Trampolinist Tamara O’Brien has died

After two years battling cancer, Tamara O’Brien passed away. So young, so fit. It’s just not fair.

Rest in peace.

More difficult than it looks. Timing critical.

In big winds it’s easy for a tent or trampoline to FLY away.

Before Hurricane Humberto in Bermuda last week, one family used stakes and a load binder strap to prevent wind getting underneath the bed. It worked.

Another family did have their trampoline fly — despite being tied down.

Canadian Trampoline Championships

Jon Schwaiger of Caledonia, ON repeated his double gold-medal performance from 2018, taking gold in both senior men’s tumbling and DMT for another year.

“The competition went pretty well for both,” said Schwaiger who captured his eighth-consecutive senior tumbling title this weekend. “I went four for four on both (apparatus) which is really all you can hope for, and I also set a new difficulty record on DMT on my first pass. Looking forward to Worlds, my plan is to just clean up some of my passes, and up the difficulty in the straight passes and just get them more confident and consistent.”
