Circle trampolines have springs arranged in a circular pattern around the edge of the trampoline. This particular design allows for consistent and controlled bounces in the center of the trampoline, with a softer and less bouncier rebound the closer one is to the edge. The round shape makes it easier to control movement and direction when bouncing as the springs works in unison to pull the jumper back to the center.
Round and Oval trampolines are a marriage between circle and rectangle trampolines. A slower bounce, these have the ability to propel the trampolinist further into the air due to more surface area to rebound, airflow, and of course–more springs. As the springs are not spaced equally to the impact of the bouncing, the concert of springs extend less and less the further the bed surface is from the impact point. This results in rounded and oval tramps the weakest in terms of snap.
Both oval and circle trampolines are perfect for introducing children to tricking and increasing their aerial awareness. Once they have grasped the fundamentals of trampolining, they should upgrade to either a rectangle or square tramp for higher quality bouncing and superior performance. You will see your children continue to grow in ability as they reach new heights!
