Wow!! Really went above and beyond w this one! Lovely to hear someone that actually knows about this culture/community describe it who isn’t an old news anchor lol… What you’re doing is really dope Jimmy!

I think all the gtrampers are happy to see that their sport is getting recognized! Dope video

G-tramp was my childhood, it's how I got started with flips. Started teaching myself flips on my garden trampoline back around 2011 and a decade later, it's helped me do coaching with kids/adults on freestyle gymnastics (basically freerunning) and trampolining. It was also my base for doing freerunning. I knew you would bring up the likes of xtr3m3flip3rs and Rasmus, gives such nostalgia to me from watching g-tramp videos in my early teens. Loved the video Jimmy

Everytime I watch one of your videos I'm stunned at how good the production and research/writing is. Keep it up mate!

I'd love to see something on wall trampolining. 🐒🇬🇧

You explained it all so well. Tanner had such a huge impact on the community

Finnlly a video about gtramping been waiting for this for so long:))

The intersection of gymnastics, circus skills, and kids having fun is fascinating.

oh yeah. I'm 26 and I was just the right age when they hit popularity in the US. I remember my cousins having one, a good friend of mine had one at his dad's house, and my neighbors had one. I've been able to do a quad since I was like 11 years old. One incredibly windy storm delivered us a trampoline to my back yard, completely undamaged, on the night of my 16th birthday. It was almost as if it was meant to be mine.....until the neighbor knocked and wanted it back

An interesting thing to look at is that circuses do a lot of stuff with trampolines as well, my uncle is in the business and had a wall tramp act in one of his shows.

Defo do a wall tramp video please lad 👍🏻

huh...I had no idea trampolines were a rare thing: I grew up with one and I can absolutely confirm that it took all of about 2 minutes for my brothers and I to figure out how to...I just realized this might be purely our term for it "Spike" eachother: you time your force input to the device to link up with someone else's and just sorta transfer it all into them and next thing you know they are jumping for two people, considerably more in our case since we were all considerably different sizes and my little brother was entirely willing to get sent sky high by both of his older brothers. other basic tricks are 1: chaining these events together and retaining energy from previous cycles into a building system and 2: if you wet down the trampoline it gets *_MUCH_* better at transferring energy between the various objects acting on it...that one might have actually not been found by everyone to ever use one of these things but I kinda doubt it what with summer and water and sprinklers and rain and any other conceivable reason for a trampoline to get wet. ps: I remember those nets becoming a thing and my first thought on seeing one is that they are a massive safety hazard, they aren't exactly tall enough to make it difficult to get higher than them even playing alone let alone groups of kids launching eachother and the nets and supports are way worse to hit than a padded edge, just don't expose the springs and/or leave holes to get a leg caught and you're good.

Interesting what you said about gymnastics and rules. I'm a quad skater and I have a few ice skating friends. I get the impression from talking to them that the ice skating community, soecifically artistic, is very shaped by the rules of competiton. I never see them want to learn anything that isn't legal in competiton and it also has to be 'perfect'. It can be a bit off putting when I wanna show them a funny version of a trick I tried I saw

17:04 Pretty smooth bail I must say

such a great video. good job mate

Trampoline is one of the very few sports, I would never do. And this is from someone whose brain underestimates danger and I do risky stuff all my life. It is imo way too dangerous. Very enjoyable video though!

I have a trampoline and me and my little sister always used a double bounce without knowing what it was lol

Ok. So I'm 42 seconds in and I'm already sitting open mouthed at how fucking nuts this is. 😂😂😂

This is a video that will live rent free on my head until I die: 2:01

As someone who's been doing freerunning for almost 10 years now, G-Tramp looks completely insane to me. I love watching it, as it is completely absurd what these lads are doing (and my brain is shouting the whole time that this stuff should not be physically possbile), but at the same time I hate it as I'll never ever feel cool again doing double flips on a trampoline... :D

First

Need the wall tramp video ASAP!

Definitely one of my favourite vids:)

I am in the last clip from robin hagger, little kid in the back with white shorts

Would love to see that video on wall-tramp!

I love Ur vids u should a 2 milion subs lot of love

damn this made my day ! i still love my passion in gtramp since 2015/2016

I love your videos man.

Such a great video. I hope to see gtramp in something like the Xgames or atleast at that level.

bro a wall tramp vid would be sick if u could

I feel like you're underplaying regular/ Olympic trampoline. Triples very much are common, and there is an incredible amount of technical precision that goes into those routines not to mention over a decade of training. I'd also look up Double Mini trampoline, its got people hucking the hardest shit you've ever seen and landing on a semi hard mat on the floor. Insanity

That intro mate! 😂🤣🤣

That WHYYY kid in the trampoline park looks like young Jelly

Supertramp are a super band.

I dislocated my knee from doing a spin flip so yeah there's always a chance of injury

Thank you for supporting our sport Jimmy! ❤️

Wow this video was phenomenal dude! So much detail and research was done and it really showed off how crazy this sport is!

Phenomenal video man! Heartwarming to watch ❤️

"8 backflips in a garden" would be a great name for a trampoline documentary.

Amazing production, it’s great to see a high quality video done on gtramp! I think gtramp lacks some superstars on RU-vid after Tanner hasn’t been too active over the years, and it’s getting less popular lately. This video almost gave me motivation to know how much potential it has, I’ve been doing my best to try to help gtramp get back on its feet through RU-vid videos. Maybe it can be revived 🤔

Loved the trampoline history lesson! Great storytelling.

Oh my gosh you actually did it! Thank you I was wanting a vid about this.

This was so well put together! Thank you for making this and supporting our sport.

It’s fucking insane that everyone has done/participated in a double bounce and everyone calls it the exact same thing.

Very, very, very impressed by your research! Having started doing gtramp back when xtr3m3flip3rs were still a thing, watching this video was like reliving my whole childhood.

Thank you, Jimmy, for this amazing video! GTramp should get more recognition! It amazes us every time what all the flippers can do!

Love the vid, I would definitely watcha wall tramp vid. Also in my opinion I feel like gtramp is gonna get sort of the same stigma that parkour has gotten with it's rise in popularity and that if you're a "normal adult" you shouldn't be doing it, which will probably lead to it staying an underground sport. Can't wait for next week's vid 🔥🔥

Jimmy uploads are the best part of a day

Another fantastic video Jimmy!! So fascinating!

"If you see trampolining in the Olympics you're probably not going to see a quad or even a triple"-cries in Jason Burnett

Messed up all the names 😂 but still an amazing video

Jimmy is speedrunning uploads

Wall trampoling would be nice to see in a video :OO

So proud to have helped with this amazing video💜

A new tramp gym is opening across the street from me. I can't wait to teach my daughter to front flip. Great video, I'm happy to watch a video about anything that gets you excited Jimmy

man you’re also very creative by choosing new topics for your videos!

Mate, initially I came for the Parkour content. By now I'm on the edge of my seat everytime you release a vid because you might just dig up another rarity within the realm of niche sports to shine your light on. Bringing your exceptional production quality to the table also helps, I suppose. All I'm saying is: Thank you for all those videos and keep on being awesome.

I did a double once as a kid and was super proud of it. Never knew that there was a community circling around this stuff. I'm too old to do stuff like this now and not hurt over my whole body. I've taken up running marathons though in my "old age" though to keep the adrenaline coming. Good luck to these kids and hopefully more kids are inspired to play games on trampolines.

I agree that g-tramp is super impressive and I respect it even though I am a conventional trampolinest. However personally I don’t really like comparing the two. Standard trampolining is more than just how hard the skills are, it’s about the form, the height, where you land, everything. So even though g-tramp is truly impressive, it’s a completely different sport in my opinion. My main problem with this video is that he majorly under sells normal trampoline. I agree that g-tramp is really impressive but there’s something really impressive and beautiful about normal trampoline as well. He criticizes all the rules and regulations when that’s what makes this different from g-tramp. Just because there are more strict rules it’s a bad thing it just means a different sport. You can also tell he didn’t do much research on normal trampoline because he says “you normally land on your back or your stomach during normal trampolining” which is just not true. 1 3/4, dive barani ballout, three quarter back, Cody, so many examples where you land on your stomach or back. Another thing is that he completely skips over the fact that Greg roe mugged a pizza delivery guy and was kicked from team Canada. TL,DR G-tramp is rly impressive however I think it’s wrong to say it’s surpassed standard trampoline. I agree with some of this videos statements but I feel you did too much research into g-tramp without doing any research into normal trampoline.

i was a competitive trampoliner for 4 years, and can i just say, what these kids do on a backyard tramp is amazing.

Love finding out all the info about people I follow but actually don't know that much about. Factual, interesting and told really well. Thanks for making these vids Jimmy. 💙

I’m not sure why, but I always found wall trampolining infinitely more entertaining compared to the regular, vertical up trampolining. Maybe because it’s been so creatively adopted by the circus lads? And that together with the two 45-degree tilted trampolines facing each other… massive! All that makes it just a matter of time until Red Bull makes a stupidly difficult to produce trampoline video in which someone is doing parkour runs, but charged up to plus ultra with super tramp power, leaping from place to place like the Incredible Hulk.

YES GTRAMP THATS MY THING LETS GOOOOO

such a good vid bruh

also you got Nicholas quad front times two mixed up with myle's tag

GANG

Love the Video & Storytelling :) The DDsquad Event has been a gamechanger ✌🏻🤯 was so much fun 🔥

These videos are so well done. Literally fully invested in the story of a scene that I knew nothing about but am now weirdly invested in. Now sitting here waiting for the breakdown of the rise and fall of Fixed Gear Bikes.

All I could think during this: Hold up just a minute, they cant take the name flippers from us! (I am a butterfly knife flipper and we also call ourselves that. This will not be forgotten G-Trampers)

History of longboarding dangerous hills would fun to watch. Every year in San Francisco a bunch of people get together and dive bomb the famously steep streets their. One guy died i think.

Thanks for putting in my worlds first 🥰 (fullfullrudy x triple cody)

lol kids are always DESTROYING the things adults do and it's funny to me. This is nothing new that kids are progressing way beyond the Olympics. It's cool what can happen when you take away the snobby rules and allow pure progression to happen. This reminds me of when I was in high school and Shaun White entered the Olympics for the first time. I already knew what he was capable of from watching him in Winter X, and I laughed my butt off as people were like "OMG WOW DID YOU SEE THAT KID SHAUN WHITE IN THE OLYMPICS?" full well knowing that he had played it super safe with a really simple run and easily won gold with it.

You say that people only noticed trampolines popping up in gardens after the Olympics during the 2000s? "Prior to the 2000s they weren't sold like that". I don't think so... at least not where I was. Most suburban family households where I grew up in Sydney got one for the backyard during the 1980s (and maybe before that too... I don't know because I wasn't around). They seem to have been pretty consistently popular in Australian backyards from at least the 80s. Not that it's important 🙂

g-tramping is the sport of people who jump on GARDEN trampolines, not eurotramps, supertramps or whatever. The Sport that you showed in this btw great vid does not really have a name. But most people who do the Sport consider themselves as "Flipers" since most of them like to do flips in general. So you could call the Sport "Fliping"

"heavily nerfed"... that's an understatement

Cool video. I can assure you these guys were not the pioneers. People were doing this for years before youtube. My family bought our first trampoline in 1990, it was round with blue mats around it and black mesh. It did not have a protective net around it. This was in Canada and they were sold at Costco for years until they were banned and replaced with the less bouncy ones with the nets. I also had friends that had rectangle trampolines with white mesh that were more bouncy and more dangerous (Double bouncing on these versions could snap your legs) I was a skateboarder and snowboarder and me and my friends would spend hours progressing on trampolines, we would often push them next to swimming pools and do crazy dangerous flips into the pools. In retrospect this was super dangerous and we were lucky to not get severely injured. We had different names for tricks put I personally was able to land triple fronts, double fronts with 1440 degrees of rotation, double backs and double back 1080s. My friend who had a gymnastic background did a 4 1/2 front flip and landed quads with up to 1440 degrees of spin back as early as 1997. We definitely weren't the only ones doing it either. I remember we would often meet other people and invite them over for a session and their were other talented cliques. I think the main thing that led to the rapid progression was having peers supporting and pushing each other. After I went to University we sold our trampoline and I remember eventually all the good original trampolines had disappeared due to the fact the springs would rust and break and were not easily replaceable and therefore they became sparse. Eventually they were replaced by the netted ones that were less bouncy and you often needed a double or triple bounce to do anything remotely cool. I am glad to see the sport as resurfaced and I wish we had digital cameras back then. There was a lot of crazy stuff done that wasn't recorded or had to be recorded on some shaky VHS tape. Anyway great video. Subscribed.

It's funny how terms like the "double bounce" proliferate. We had a backyard trampoline when I was a kid in the early 2000s just to play around on, and everyone knew what a double bounce was. But it's not like there was some kind of community anyone was a part of that we learned these terms from.

Incredible amounts of nostalgia went through my veins watching the swedish kids doing the tripple backflip

Double backflips are all a mental game in the end, the first time I tried one i necked so hard because I was trying to spot the black bed of the trampoline but I spotted the net and opened after and a quarterish flips, but I can now do standing double back on a circle berg trampoline without any mental hesitation! You should definitely learn a double backflip someday into a foam pit, it’s the weirdest feeling for the first time but it’s so comfortable at the same time, hard to explain but you’ll know what I mean

Incredible video even tho you messed up a bit with the names of the flips but still very thankful🙏

Sheeit we were doing this in the 90s. Only had the typical garden trampoline tho. Used to do double fronts off of the trampoline into the grass until I broke my ankle. I left that life behind me after that

Professinnal fliper here and just wanna say you got it spot on bro and thx for the respekt for the flip comunity :)

so happy you made a video on gtramp! Very well put together.

Stop doing those dangerous flips Jimmy, go play a safe sport like American football

we were double jumping trampolines in 98 just didn't have camera phones

Love this sort of back alley versions of "proper" sports

I love how the kaboom is named after the sound it makes when it happens because it really does sound like a kaboomq

Finally someone mentioned xtr3mfl3p3rs (idk how to spell)

When I was a young teen I'd jump on my friends' tramps every day with my brothers and friends. Those were some of the best memories: making up games, trying tricks, and just goofing off. Life was so simple; it was magic. This video was wonderful. Hell, all your videos are.

The only missing thing of this video is the edits if the tricks cuz edits sort of past of gtramp

I think flippers more see it as in kabooms and Cody’s and like the other part

Thanks for making a vid on gtramp🙏 I can confirm that pretty much everyone in the community was inspired by xtreme flippers and tanner. Also I'm going to meet all of radial flipz this week😮

you had some of your flipping terms wrong but thats alright you still got the point across

Good video (as always) maybe you can make a video about slacklining 😁💪🏻

This video is so good man, and that comes from a "flipper". But the way you called the flips at around 15 minutes was hilarious. It's not "times", you'd just say "to" or "x". Anyways great stuff

Doubles on “garden” tramps have been done for ages though, that was really new, 2 1/4-2 3/4 have been pretty common on garden tramps for years. The triple and above is a whole nother thing though.

WTF I want a trampoline park. Bring that shit back!

If the gymnastics associations around the world had any sense to them, they would get the g-tramp/flippers/whatever people in to their sport under some "freestyle" categories.

i was doing double flips and triples in the mid 90s just didnt care to record it
