If you have ever been in a trampoline, you know how fun it can be.  M y neighbor has a trampoline, and whenever I have time I go in it.  You can do tricks, such as some that I know how too do.  I can do a front tuck, front flip,front hand spring,double tuck, double flip, knee flip,half back flip, half  back tuck,front tuck with a half twist, and more I can’t even think of.  Then there are others that I am practicing and are so close to be able to do, such as back flip, back tuck, back handspring, front flip with a full twist, and others that I haven’t heard of.  But trampolines aren’t all fun, you have to be careful too. Try to think about me doing all of those tricks without a net. You would not believe how many times I have crashed into the net, loosing control. Now imagine how many times I would have flew right out of that trampoline, broken either my arm, my leg, my wrist, my ankle my back, or for heaven’s sake my neck! You can also play games such as popcorn, boat jacker, Marco Polo, dead mummy, and so much more! It is so much fun. In popcorn, some one curls up on the trampoline(acting as a kernel), while the others jump trying to make the person pop open like popcorn. In boat jacker, their are 2 boat jackers that try to grab someones leg and knock them over.  If they do fall over, they would become the boat jacker. If they don’t fall over, the game keeps going.  You all know how to play Marco Polo, and dead mummy is like Marco Polo, only the mummy doesn’t call out. All those games would be dangerous out of the trampoline, and I don’t know how you would play popcorn out of a trampoline. Trampolines are fun. We should all get one.
