Spring Action

Spring Action is a Canadian team of trampoliners combining comedy and high flying in a family affair. Sean McManus is the comedy side of things, wearing orange coveralls for the better part of the show, acting the part of an oblivious clumsy oaf who can't handle himself on the trampoline and keeps falling into inopportune places (by the end of the set, he's not the clumsy oaf anymore). His wife Heather, who competed on the circuit including at the Olympics, plays it straight and impresses with her acrobatic skills. Their son even takes part in the show. This particular trampoline has spots set around the edges for Sean to tumble into as part of the routine. I'll have some more of them from the finale show (I'm still in the process of getting the posts ready; I took like a thousand shots over the course of the weekend between this event and Colonel By Day).

  2. It's been too long since I dropped by. A trampolining post is the perfect time to make an appearance. :)

  3. Takes a lot of practice to work one properly, it's not just jumping about.

  4. Trampolines used to be the rage when I was in junior high. You'd pay by the hour. Pretty safe, and good exercise.
