I bought a 17ft X 15ft skywalker oval trampoline last year and this year I decided to put the springs like a upside down V so like this /\. I did that for all of the springs and it still isn't that bouncy. I am still not able to get enough air too land doubles. Does anyone know how to make it bouncier??

Sleep on it for a few nights during the summer. It stretches it out.

I've only had circle trampolines but I always X the springs. You have to increase the tension as much as possible. But honestly I have never even heard of oval trampolines so maybe you should just get a friend to double bounce you if its that important.

Buy new springs. Tell me you tried it with them regular before you decided to rock out the v.

Also seems like kind of strange dimensions imo.

My friend has a oval tramp and i find that its too big to be bouncy, when its that big it just sags in the middle and feels loose, other than that just try spraying water on it and getting it wet

First, don't keep your springs like that. Your bed will start to rip at the spots where the two springs meet. Also, for some tramps all you can do to get higher is double bounce. I have a skywalker and alone on it I cannot even land a double, but my two friends give me double bounce and i can throw triples to my feet. Double bounce helps a lot!

Also wetting the tramp makes it much more bouncy.

Some kids at my mountain crossed their springs and it went insanely higher, but then the springs wear out really fast. So its win, lose. I have the same tramp too and I find its really hard to throw more than like a cork 9

Are you sure it will rip man because I know people that have them laced the same as mine and their tramps were fine.

Umm well mine did start to rip, but that could have just been my tramp. I don't know, if it starts to rip at the edges then change it, but I guess your probably fine.
