Title: Trampolins
Post by: Dark Knight on September 10, 2008, 04:57:19 PM
I've been bocking sometime now but never tried a flip.
Being big I've never tried anything like it neither ?

I know that trampolining isn't quite the same as bocking but it's closes you'd get.
I got a 14 foot round one with 88 springs on it ( 88 is the lowest number for 14 foot ).
I'm not set it up yet but hope fully later tonight.

The number of springs are like the weight on PJs' springs the more the harder, so 88 isn't the best I could have got ( but it was cheap  :) ) 14 feet trampolins got upto 120. I'll see how I get on with this one.

I got a safety net to go around it which I'll use as I've not bounce on one in years and there's some trees and fances right next to it and with my luck I'll end up in one of them.

I plan to leave it set up out side it's too big to take up and down, but instead off a plain flat rain cover I brought a dome tent/cover for it. It stops the rain getting on the spring and can be used as a den !

Once I've got it sorted out if any ones pass me ( who'd want to stop ) you can have a bounce.

I'll post some picture once I've got it up.


So who uses a trampolin to help with their bocking skills or got ant tips about trampolins ?

I'm fairly sure most advanced bockers will tell you a trampoline is the a key stage in learning anything involving being upside down on bocks, i know that practising on my trampoline has helped my flipping no end.  ;)

There is a design problem with this tent that means that snow builds up on it and it sags meaning even more snow can build up on it but I've already worked out how to elimination most to that problem.
for now I had to go inside and bounce on it to clear the fallen snow which did indeed work thou has it it still snowing I will need to repete this action again in a couple of hours.

Took me a bit of time to put up I'd never put one up before and was on my own.Had a quick bounce then thought I'd try and put the tent/cover on it which say's is a two man job LOL

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v699/Dark-Knight/ABCD0016-1.jpg)

It's spitting with rain now so I'm leaving it up.
I really like this cover/tent when I stand inside the tops out of reach which mean you can bounce a bit ( open the windows ) and it's warm even late at night. It's the size of a 9 man dome tent LOL

How high is it DK? i wana flip in it!
Maybe a little low would be tricky?
Check the pictures, my S-Rex is in the shots . Without bouncing I can't reach the heighest point so from a flat bed 6 foot or so.
If you keep your feet on the bed and just bounce a little you can bounce even when it's raining  :banana:
Here a video I took the other day, heavy breathing I'd just been bouncing LOL

they arent that convenient to bounce on because its to low but you can fold the tent ova in about 2 mins to make a normal trampoline

Post by: Dark Knight on November 20, 2008, 09:47:46 PM
The dome cover does mean even when it rains and/or is cold you can bounce to a piont inside.
It's weight would make flying hardly likely to work. It's may left off the ground and slide or flip, smaller trampolines may tip on to it's side a roll which could smash into fences or windows .

Follow a chat with Aidanh1 last night got me thinking about keep it warmer inside.
The plastic did work but was never going to hold so I'm about to cut some ply to go around the bottom.
The top is a single cover so I grabbed the gazebo and throw in over the top.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v699/Dark-Knight/ABCD0003.jpg)
I mucked it up first time and blocked the hatch
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v699/Dark-Knight/ABCD0002-1.jpg)

I'm now thinking of some light bulbs ( 3 x 100 watt ) for lighting and to keep the chill out

I have some boards to cover most of the base so will fit them soon.
I have been on it tonight once I'd de-iced the zip on the doorway.
There was a little ice on the inside ( not much ) but once I get bouncing I soon felt warm ( Note wear to pairs of sock ).
So unless it's snow very heavy over Xmas I can bounce anytime I want.

I leave work at 5pm so it's dark by the time I get home.
The light which lights the trampoline does not allow a video to see much.
This weekend I hope to be in London Saturday and going to Lincoln Xmas market so can't do it this weekend.
Next Saturday it's the Lincoln gym and again maybe in London on Sunday

Maybe one of my last post here.
I beefed the lights with three " Bulk " outside lights ( 3 x 60 watts ). They should give light and maybe the chill from inside. If any of you are head passing me next year your more than welcome to have a bounce what ever the weather.
Doesn't look much in day light.

DK Trampolins are great for helping you learnt flip! Have you managed a filp yet? If not I'll help you out, (with a trampoline filp that is, have no home on the Bocks ...Yet  ;)) We use a big 16 foot one at my mates house in the summer for snowboard practice. It's great fun jumping aroung on a Trampoline with a board strapped to you! LOL.. It really helps you find your centre of balance.. thats wy i gave myself the 3mth window to do a flip on bocks.. i figure if i can do it on a board i can do it on bocks?

There been some heavy snow lately and we have seen a funny video of someone bounce on a snow cover trampolin LOL.
I look outside today to see this !
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v699/Dark-Knight/Bocking/ImARealMOD/100_0614.jpg)
I thought that the main beam had snapped and removed the snow and now it look like this.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v699/Dark-Knight/Bocking/ImARealMOD/100_0631.jpg)

I've not saying got out and buy a tent cover, they cost a lot more the a normal sheet cover.
There stronger than they look and for mini bouncing in even rain and snow and cold winds can't stop you having fun.
But remember I've got a big one so smaller size tents may not allow as much jumping inside ?

I love my trampolin, I can bounc it it even when it's snowing, icey and cold.
It does look a little flat but all you do is punch the snow off from inside  :Claugh:

OMG
That's a big chicken !?
Title: Re: Trampolins
Post by: Spud on February 14, 2009, 10:45:20 AM
haha, annabell isnt big, she is all fluff :D She is probably a bit skinny tbh. She is a very very lucky chicken and was born with some complicated problems. I don't want to go into details but on several occasions I have been told to probs give up. And I havnt and I wont. She needs some special care and a different diet of "annabell mix" but she is doing alright. And I have learnt how to treat her and know what meds she needs if I need them.

But yeah, i dont have any giant chickens running around my garden lol..look :)

Haha, she is not scary, she is lovely, and loves hugs :) Annabell mix is just the stuff I have to mix up for her, its different every time but the main ingredients are red millet, corn, sunflower hearts and grit. I usually buy the stuff in bulk and mix it together myself but essentially its just the stuff you put in bird feeders..but tonnes cheaper. lol 50kg of corn costs me like £8 I think, its cheaper than normal food.

haha, I really do love them girlies..hehe, I have hijacked this thread too, but oh well, here are my 4 chickies :D

Honestly, they are adorable, spud is funny, but has fallen out with the mob lately and has lost a few feathers over it, goldie is top now, and a bit of a bully, but still as sweet as the others, lucy is a little more nervous but I got her 6 weeks after the others and she is 6 weeks younger. Annabel is just the sweetest chicken anybody has ever seen, loves hugs and like coolio too. she is alos the only one to have escaped.

They are all so funny. If I open back door and they come running so fast :D

I would have thought you could train them to bounce Spud  :Claugh:

All kidding aside if they go on it start them with a gentle bounce with your hand and they might get the idea that it's easier that flying and more fun I know of 2 dogs that love trampolines and think I saw a cat on one on youtube

Jason  :Hoofies2: :CGEEK:

Ps anyone know where I can get a tramp rated at 3/4 ton the horse might have a go  :Claugh:

I'd think you'd have to look to more industrial sources for that kind of thing...

Perhaps something off an assembly line?

haha, i dont know what i'm talking about to be honest  :biggrin:

Post by: Spud on February 15, 2009, 12:27:26 AM
Haha, tbh as soon as I move it they get a bit scared. I could train them tho, they are surprisingly smart  :Ctwitcy: I think they are a little light for the springs tho :(

Brilliant DK

Now you've started it the horse was watching over my shoulder when I played that vid

He dosen't know about CGI and thinks it's real now he wants one (a trampoline not an elephant)

So I gave him your address and his on his way over
You bl**dy explain it to him  :Claugh:

Jason  :Hoofies2: :CGEEK:
Title: Re: Trampolins
Post by: Dark Knight on February 15, 2009, 10:38:19 PM
You could make him one !
All you'd need is 60 car suspension springs some 2 inch metal tubing and lots of bike inner tube sew together ( for a mat )
Easy
And your the one with the award for being " Ingenious "  :Ctwitcy:
Title: Re: Trampolins
Post by: Jason on February 15, 2009, 10:58:45 PM
Oh no DK he wants one that you can see through with writing on it just like in the film

Like I said don't worry Storm DK will get you one just go and see him  :Claugh:

Jason  :Hoofies2:  :CGEEK:

Ps DK  Just to warn you he gets a little upset if he don't get his own way a bit like Chewbacca  :Claugh:
Title: Re: Trampolins
Post by: Dark Knight on February 15, 2009, 11:04:48 PM
Make the mat from patch work, part inner tube part fishing nets  :Ctongue:
Title: Re: Trampolins
Post by: Jason on February 15, 2009, 11:14:03 PM
Get sewing then DK  :Claugh:

Oh and the cabbie will need paying when he arrives (horses don't carry money)  :Claugh:
And you better get some Hay and Carrots in (I said you wouldn't mind him staying a few days)  :Claugh:

I know I said I'd help when ever I'm wanted but your not asking much !!!!
Friend up the road has horses so he'd be welcome to come for a holiday.
I think my mother's friend owns a taxi firm so we could do a deal with the fair.
I often bock near a bike shop so grab some tube off them.
I live near a fishing fleet so net no problem either.
I did said metal but I could nick wood from work.

Has I say ~  Never say never   :Ctongue:

What do you mean up the road

Don't let him drink to much DK he gets a bit boysterous  :Claugh:

I don't know who you were explaining it to DK but I was joking and the horse is still at home   :Claugh:

And just between you and me DK Horses cant talk  :Cbiggrin:

So whoever you explained to and put in a taxi wasn't my horse and I hope you pre-paid the taxi  :Claugh:

Only joking DK (I hate it when someone goes serious on me like this ) He phoned me before he left and said to say thanks for all the beer

But I still hav'nt figgured out how he dials my number with those hoofs  :Claugh:

Don't do too much because the mat forces the foot to point up the ankle has to hyperflex and could bugger your ankle up  :Cswoon:
