Fall 2010 NS Trampoline Sessions

It's the fall. We're all getting antsy to shred. Trampolines help with air awareness, dialing your tricks back in, showing off to your friends, and they're just plain fun. Plus, it'd be nice to see each other before the snow starts to fall.

So I'm working on putting together two private NS sessions at Metropolitan Gymnastics in Kent. Their tramp is the safest, funnest, and probably best maintained. I'm hoping to do this two different weekends so everybody can get in on the fun.

I've got a waiver, and need to hear back from the gym on pricing per hour. Hopefully, we can do it on Oct. 3rd and 10th. Any big problems with those dates?

I'll update as I know more.

woo will be there. be prepared to be bitched at by the employees for "damaging" their equipment by jumping on the tramp. never fails, someone is always bitching at me.

oh well stoked!

Hasn't happened to me yet.

When I was discussing the possibility of a private session, one of the employees mentioned how it was strange how we skiers and snowboarders move all over the trampoline when we use it. I then pointed out that moving only three feet laterally in the air is pretty narrow compared to being able to carve twenty or thirty feet on a big jump. She seemed to understand.

do u guys ever hit up sky high?  how is the metropolitan place compared to that?  im guessing there is a better trampoline, but is there just one?  It would kind of suck to pay a lot of money and have to take turns for 2 hours with like 30 kids. but yeah, just looking for more info.  thanks!

that issue was already discussed, you shoulda read the thread before posting.

ps. 8 dollars for 2 hours vs. 10 dollars for 1 hour? sky high is a waste of money

Yep, $8.

Metropolitan has a single gymnastics tramp and a tramp floor. Obviously, fewer tramps than Sky High, but we can actually pad the surrounding and there's real airtime for floating out tricks.

Sure, we have to share the tramp, but it'll be nice to feed off each other's tricks and see people again before season starts. It's not like you spend the whole hour you're tramping jumping up and down.

We had the same issue, but they were kind enough to offer a refund after shutting us down. Nice to talk with chill people. Apparently, it'll be about a month or so before everything is working perfectly again.

Kudos for recycling an old thread instead of making a new one. Bravo.

And this sounds great. We should try to do some midwinter ones too, maybe pick a constant date (third sunday night of each month or something) and use that.

Think we could do a pre Triple Threat sesh? Pretty much the only time I'll be up in Seattle until Steven's opens.
