Bounce Battles & Double Bounces: Trampoline Tricks & LOLs

The Day of the Double Bounce Championship

Okay, so here’s how it happened:

One sunny Saturday, Dad finished mowing the lawn (boring). Mum brought out sandwiches (yay).

And me, Ezra, Blythe, Dale, and Oliver all lined up to see who could rule the trampoline.

Ezra went first: he did a double bounce, but only went as high as a Minecraft block.

Blythe

Dale tried a flip… but chickened out halfway. He landed like a starfish.

Blythe twirled in the air and yelled, “I’m a princess fairy!” before falling on her butt.

Show off....

Then Oliver stepped up. You know when someone’s just too good? He did a perfect backflip AND stuck the landing.

Tristan

And me? I double bounced so hard I nearly cleared the fence.

You don’t need to be a gymnast to make trampolines fun. Half the time, the “tricks” are just us being silly.

Tricks That Made Us Cry (from laughing)

Mum was NOT impressed.

The Butt Bounce Combo — bounce, land on your butt, bounce up again like a pogo stick.

The Ninja Star Jump — arms + legs out wide, like you’re saving the universe.

The Back Drop & Roll — looks cool, but usually ends in tangled hair.

Now here’s the truth no one tells you: building a trampoline is like fighting a metal octopus.

The Pain of Building a Trampoline

Ezra calls trampolines “real-life Minecraft slime blocks.” I call them laugh machines.

My personal favourite: the Double Bounce Scream Test. (The louder you scream, the higher you go. SCIENCE.)

Dad yells at the instructions.

The springs snap back and try to eat your fingers.

The frame doesn’t line up.

Oliver takes over and finishes it while the rest of us argue.

Mum says “patience!” but then stomps off.

Sound familiar?

That’s why Quick-Kits Assembly Services is awesome. They build trampolines ALL THE TIME. No stress, no swearing, no missing bolts. And here’s the best part: they actually let us kids join in if we want.

We can hand them springs, hold up nets, or test the bounce at the end. It feels like building something together, but without the tantrums.

From their family to ours, it’s like having trampoline superheroes arrive at your house.

Played “don’t touch the ground” for HOURS.

Tied fairy lights around the net (Blythe’s idea).

Added a basketball hoop = instant dunk contest

Here’s what we’ve done (don’t copy ALL of it unless you want trouble):

How to Make Your Trampoline Extra Fun

Put water balloons on the trampoline = chaos.

Kids’ Quick Questions (FAQs — but way cooler)

But the most important thing: always check the springs, bolts, and safety nets. You want bounce, not a trip to A&E.

Q: What’s the best trampoline for kids?

A: One with a net, padding, and enough space for flips. Bonus points if it comes with a hoop.

Q: Can we build a trampoline ourselves?

A: You can, but do you really want to? Springs hurt. Call Quick-Kits and just enjoy the fun part.

Q: What if I bounce too high?

A: That’s called winning. (Mum says “dangerous.”)

Q: Can Quick-Kits people actually do trampoline tricks?

A: I heard they can. Ask them. (If you see them dab mid-bounce, send proof.)

Final Bounce

So here’s the deal: trampolines = laughter, tricks, flips, and Mum screaming from the kitchen window. Building them = a nightmare (unless you’re Oliver).

That’s why Quick-Kits Assembly Services is the way to go. They’ll build it right, let you help, and maybe even show you a trick or two.

From our family (the Kitset Kids) to yours, trampolines are the BEST. So… who’s ready for a double bounce championship? Loser has to do the dishes.
