Skywalker Trampolines

Skywalker Trampolines

Sizes/ModelsJumpSport offers round trampolines in 12 or 14foot diameters, as well as a 10by17foot rectangular model. Skywalker has a 13foot square model and several 17by15 oval models, as well as a folding 8by10 model. The Skywalker models include 7inch springs and the JumpSport models have 8.5inch springs the longer the spring, the bigger the bounce. The Skywalker models vary by size and level of cushioning, but the Jumpsport trampolines include other features like a doublespring "stagedbounce" system, which is built for a softer landing.

Safety EquipmentSafety nets are a must with trampolines. The Skywalker trampolines come preoutfitted with a mesh safety enclosure that can be secured with a zipper and latches. The Jumpsport enclosures cost $230 to $400 extra, as of 2010, depending on the model, and include a doubleflap opening that does not secure. Both companies cover the springs and brackets with thick padding, but while JumpSport uses heavyduty PVC, Skywalker uses vinyl. Some Skywalker models have Wshaped legs that provide extra stability, but JumpSport trampolines include a springtensioning system that results in less kickback, reducing your risk of injury.
