I'm looking at Trampolines with the nets around them and I'm not sure what size to get. I'm looking at a 16Ft but it would set me back $300 while a 10 ft would only be $200. Tell me what sizes you have and if there appropriate for Back Flips, Corks just skiing tricks in general.

I think I have a 16 footish tramp. not quite sure. but i know it is around 15 or 16. Its definitely big enough for corks, flips, spins and shit, etc. but the net really constricts the area you are  jumping in. It makes you feel alot more closed in. dont know if it matters to you but just feels that way.

Best thing to do would probably look at youtube videos and see what size people are useing and see how it works.

But bigger is always better. and you dont want to pay 200 dollars for a ten foot and then have it be too small. then you would be down 500 if you wanted to get the other one.

a bigger trampoline will make learning stuff nicer since theres more room to travel and less chance of getting caught up in the net. my mates got a 16 footer without a net and its pretty damn hard to fall off so you might not even need the net, its up to you thought

the average round trampoline is about 14 feet im pretty sure. so try to get one of those for super cheap off craigslist (all the ones with nets are already all gone) and then find a net to put on it. thats what i did. my tramp is going to explode soon because ive bounced on it so many times but my nets is still in perfect shape so ill just buy another one for 100 $ again

You can't do shit on a 10 or 12 footer. Go for the 16 for sure.

You should definentaly get the 16 footer i have one and its the right size to have one person doing tricks while the other person can double bounce you. Nets are a good idea cause i tend to over rotate backflips and spring into the net, also with a net you can attach lights to the top of the posts that are part of the net so that you can tramp at night. If you decide not to get a net its a good idea to dig a whole that the trampoline will fit in so that if you do ounce out you wont have that extra 3 - 4 foot drop.

i would get a rectangle tramp honestly even though they're more expensive. but are you getting a 16 ft. tramp AND a net for 300? cause that's ridiculously cheap
