News board - Big Round Trampolines
Goodbye Prosport
Due to the number of cheap imports that have flooded the market over the last
year or so the trampoline market is constricting and one of
the fatalities has been Prosport. Unfortunately with the demise
of the company comes the demise of their guarantee which will
leave some customers with trampolines
that cannot be repaired free of charge. We at Bigroundtrampolines
are looking to find a supplier who may be able to supply replacement
parts and as soon as we have located one we will post the
details on the site.
Markets Flood with
cheap imported trampolines
We have been selling trampolines for over three years and over that time things have changed an awful lot. Back in 2003 trampolines were voted the toy of the year. We sold loads of trampolines. Then In 2004 cheaper, lower quality trampolines came in. We decided to stick with brands that we were comfortable with and that we knew gave us little trouble. Sadly, so many of the big stores took on trampolines that were cheap and consequently the impression was that you could get a good trampoline for a bout £160.00. Dont be fooled. You get what you pay for. The upshot of this is that 2005 has been a poor year for us and the more quality based trampoline suppliers. However, we think that 2006 will justify our decision about quality. Because we are hearing hundreds of people say that they bought a cheap trampoline from such and such a store and they can't get the parts or that the guarantee has ran out and the bed has fallen to bits. At the end of the day if we dont hear from our customers it means they are happy and there is nothing wrong with their trampolines. We generally don't hear from our customers much!
Quote from our suppliers of
Hi Jump Trampolines website
You are not just buying a Trampoline
You are buying the BOUNCE.
Less Springs Means More Bounce.
Some misleading companies claim that "more springs means more bounce" - absolute nonsense, more springs purley means that it is impossible to bounce. As experts we should know, we have been producing competition trampolines since 1983.
Over 60,000 customers already know that we are right.
You've been framed
I was watching "You've been framed" last night and there was a clip showing loads of people falling off trampolines and hurting themselves. I was horrified because it made it look like every trampoline you buy you are going to hurt yourself. Please note that in the majority of cases the people having the accidents were attempting things that they had no practised - somersaults, twists etc. That invariably the trampoline was too small for the operation it was being used for or there were too many people on the trampoline. Trampolining can be dangerous but as long as reasonable care is taken then that danger can be minimalised considerably. I think the the trick is to follow the safety rules and make sure you are sober when bouncing on your trampoline
New Kid on the Block
Jumpking is back with their new and, quite honestly, very good product - The JumpPOD. This trampoline has an integral safety enclosure that can be removed as the kids get older. However it is such a hansome looking combo that you might prefer not. Jumpking have pulled out the stops on this product and the price and the quality are very hard to beat. There are also lots of really nice design features such as angled springs to reduce tension problems; T bar leg joints to stop weld cracks; tensioned enclosure with stiffener rods to ensure shape retension. This is a good product and if you have small children that will be using a trampoline for a long time this is probably the cheapest quality route to take
