Jump Street and Flip Out Trampolining

As part of the Summer Holiday fun we have taken the kids to two trampoline parks to burn off some energy. The first was last week when Brandon and Holly tried out the new Flip Out trampoline park in Lakeside (Joshua didn't want to go as he was playing out with his mates!). Unfortunately there is no viewing area for adults to get pictures so I can't really write much about this one. The kids seemed to enjoy themselves but without me purchasing a ticket for myself, I was not allowed in and given I have a bad back then trampolining is not the best idea in the world.

The second place we tried out was called Jump Street in Chelmsford (just around the corner from my work). Jump Street seemed a lot more open and plenty of viewing and photo opportunities for parents, but the actual trampoline set-up doesn't look quite as good as the new Flip Out (of course I would say that as Flip Out has a padded Lamborghini which you can jump off of!!!!

Holly doing a good tuck jump.

Then a bum bounce.

Jumping in to a rather large air pillow.

Synchro jump by Brandon and Holly.

Trying trying a forward flip and failing. By the end of the session he had it nailed though.

Brandon disappears in to the air pillow.

Holly braving a jump off of a high platform.

Followed by Joshua.

Brandon getting some good airtime on a forward flip.

Another action shot of Brandon upside down.

Trampoline basketball slam dunks.

Holly and Josh lining up a shot.

She aims, sh shoots (but she's looking at the floor and not the hoop!).

Brandon bouncing around in the large trampoline area.

Holly jumping off of a platform on to a trampoline.

Brandon sprinting across a balance rope. Joshua fell off and squashed his man bits straddling the green balance rope.

Shortly after this Joshua fell off and squashed his private parts.

Holly showing good technique on the balance rope.

Big jump by Holly.

All smiles as she lands in the air pillow.

And this is the Lamborghini car at Flip Out which I really wanted to get some pictures of the kids on (but no spectator area - gutted).
