Video of Kayla doing a Back Handspring on her trampoline

Lord Gord and I finally got Kayla's trampoline up on the weekend. She's been after us for quite awhile. Once it's up she basically lives on it. I got on with her for a little while today but have to confess that each time I jump, I dribble. A panty liner can only hold so much so after about 20 minutes I had to get off. Damn bladder! Here are two short videos I took of her practising her back handsprings. She is trying desperately to get her back tuck but keeps landing on her face!

Kayla is like a little jumping bean!!!! Love her little giggle.

There was a time when I may have been brave enough to attempt something like that. Now with age comes wisdom (well some) and I know I would be laid up for weeks :doglaugh.gif:

So kudos to her... Gotta love a child's energy! And you are right Freva, the giggle does it!

That looks like fun! You have it anchored down good though right? Wasn't it last year that the trampoline went for an adventure around your property?

What a ham! The giggle made me laugh both times I watched it.

looks great, makes me dizzy thinking of flipping like that.

Yes, last year was the tragic trampoline incident. We haven't tied this one down yet because we just set it up. Let me tell you though, by the time we took it down last year it had so many ropes on it (windy fall) it looked like a fly caught in a spider web!

OMG she's cute!! Love the giggle!!

Ha she's sweet! And it's true her giggle does make you laugh when you watch it..

I love how your's has the netting around it, I work in Emergency andI don't know how many kids so far we've had that have fallen off their trampolines.. Your's is good and safe! I want one!

Jorgia - we try to keep the trampoline as safe as we can. The net is around it plus the padding on the sides over the springs. We also have a rule that only one person can be on it at a time. And trust me - I enforce it - just ask the neighbourhood kids that learned the hard way that I'm serious. Kayla is allowed to do flips, tucks and springs because she has the proper training. Any of her friends that aren't in gymnastics are limited to just jumping and seat bouncing. It doesn't take much for them to get hurt! I'm known around these parts as the Trampoline Sheriff!

hahaha....Kayla definately has a cool giggle.......I wanna try that when I come visit.....are you gonna make me do just bum jumps........ :cowboyhound.gi

Very cute !!!
