Ever been to a trampoline park?

They say it's the most fun you can have with your pants on.

....

lol - just kidding (though there's surely some measure of truth to that).

I was merely contemplating a variety of activities I had long since overlooked and having experienced virus lockdown in full effect, no longer want to take foregranted.

One of them is attending a trampoline park.

One in Swords, one in Sandyford; I'm sure there's a bunch of other scattered around the country.

I'm just curious as to what the actual experience is like?

I see on a website they actually do trampoline related fitness classes.
As in some trout is stood at the top of the trampoline area with a megaphone and all the soccer moms are bouncing about, trying to slim up etc.
Sound about right?

I also don't want all 200 lbs of me to come crashing down on some junior trying to get his bounce on, I'm sure ringing ahead to find out what times are quiet etc should solve that issue.

Anyone use these regularly/ever?

I've been to a few, wouldn't be jumping up and down about them.

I'd say I'd destroy what's left of my back in one of those places.

I think it would be good fun. Personally would be thinking it would be for kids mainly (stupid I know) but would give it a bash.

I remember when they called them Oline Parks.

Then your Ma went and they renamed then Trampoline Parks.

I hit the roof when I found out the ceilings weren't high enough.

I read the title 'Have you ever been to the tramp Eileen in the park'

The market will bounce back.

I went to one but had no cash. And then the cheque bounced. No one else would spring for it.

How old are you?
I went a year or two ago at 31 and while it was great fun and like being a kid again, I was absolutely crippled afterwards. Could hardly drove back home again and was very sore for the next few days. Two guys in work needed up in doctor & chiropractor!

When I moved to Dublin first I decided to try a bunch of random things too and it was the best thing I ever did. I had never even been on a trampoline before but I tried one of the jump zone trampoline parks. I assumed the regular times would be full of kids so I went with a fitness class. I honestly nearly died, so much harder than I expected.

The best fun ever on a trampoline is in Supersonic, Loughlinstown. I kept that up for years. Proper Olympic level trampolines that can easily take any weight. They teach adult classes from absolute beginners who can't even stand on them up to people doing quadruple flips. I was afraid it would be kids or I'd be the only guy but the week I started it was half full of big bearded lads getting ready to try out as extras/stunt men on Vikings. The profile of people changes every week, highly recommend.

From there I found out about high diving in the national aquatic centre in Blanchardstown. Another crazy sport that everyone says they'd love to try but very few do. Again classes are from adult beginners and up.
Once you meet a few people there you'll find out about the cliff diving that goes on around Dublin.

I say go for it, and if you find anything else let us know. Also, zero latency is great craic for a simple different night out.

Come on admit it did you loose your bounce?

Yes I've been a couple of times. You have to sign a waiver that says you accept the risk of injury and/or death. It's fun for a short while but gets boring fast.

Yes. Only as a kid though. A few times.
