A. Learn to spell.
B. Write a persuasive paper displaying your reasons for why you believe you should have a trampoline.

1. threaten to do crack cocaine if they dont
2. tell them you wont love them unless they do
3. call them bad parents

I could never convince my parents to buy me a trampoline, but one day they came home with 2 from our friends that were moving didnt want. It was awesome! I had 2 trampolines for most of the summer. I would have had 3 but i broke one... the black part works pretty well for the summer set up.

3 trampolines is like the trifecta of trampoline prowess. It was alot of fun because you could transfer back and forth and make big gaps. Plus, it brought power bouncing to a whole new level.

Trust me, I've tried.  Unfortunately my parents are in insurance, so all they see is the bad side of things.  First thing they said was: "No, it is too dangerous and homeowner's hates trampolines."

be sure to tell them you will install a full tramp net around it. convince them it will make a tramp a lot safer...

honestly dude, I wanted to get a tramp forever until I found a local gymnastics place. Its well worth the money and better than some crappy wal mart in your tramp.

we have 4 Olympic tramps here with coaches on each one teaching you how to do everything perfectly and not harming yourself, we also have a huge foam pit with a running tramp that is great for learning tricks

Tell them that it will better prepare you for skiing. If you have a tramp you'll have a much safer way of learning and practicing tricks. That way you won't get in over your head when trying something new on the mountain and hurt yourself. Parents listen to reason. If they don't go for that, good luck.

just buy it. Yesterday my friend just went to sams club, bought a tramp, and set it up at his house. His parents came home and were pissed but they are letting him keep it. Too lazy to take it down or something.

responding to me? its $10 at my gym from 8pm till 10:30, and seeing as you have expert coaches by your side and your on $3,000+ tramps, I say its worth it

You also get a better air awareness; something that is CRUCIAL in skiing.

some insurance companies will rescind if their client gets a trampoline. They don't want to insure someone who ups their chances of getting fucked up on a tramp, costs them too much to insure you in the event that you do get hurt. I don't blame them, tramps are incredibly dangerous.

if they dont want you to have it because of the saftey isue i would just tell them that having a tramp realy isnt very dangerous expecialy if you only jump with one person at a time and having a tramp will help you with saftey in the long run because if you practice all of your tricks all the time on a tramp you will have more confidence and know how to throw a trick already before you try it on skis so it will make your skiing safer.
