Why are gymnastics trampolines so bouncy and my outdoor trampoline isn't?

because yours is probably not the same kind
Because they have a greater area, closely spaced springs and the bed is made of a thin webbing which is able to deform more and has less air resistance.

What are the trampolines improvements of the trampoline over the years?
There have been numerous developments and improvements in the way that trampolines are manufactured over the last few years, with the main enhancement being the safety of the trampoline itself.These days, trampolines are built with thicker pads, protecting the user from the springs, more trampoline springs, providing a more controlled bounce and strong and robust trampoline enclosures, preventing the user from falling off.In addition to this, there are also additional shapes available now, with rectangular and oval trampolines offering a great bounce too.Performance is another area that has seen considerable improvement, with the quality and number of trampoline springs offering a much better bounce.The answer above relates to garden trampolines. Proper trampolines have always been rectangular. The main advances here are that beds have got larger and therefore safer as well as more bouncy. Improvements in the webbing which has become narrower mean less air resistance, a softer bounce and less work to achieve height. Another big improvement which doean't relate to the performance of the bed is the introduction of legs which have a mechanism to raise and lower, reducing heavy lifting and making setting out and packing away easier and safer.
How are trampolines made to be so bouncy?
Trampolines are made out of a stretch material with strings and a plastic mat with rubber that allows a person to jump up and down on the mat without falling down.
How long do outdoor trampolines last?
my tramp has lasted about 10 years! but we take it down every mid fall and then put it back up in the spring. that's just the bouncy black part but about 5 years for a safety pad and about 3 years for the safety net
Is a rectangle trampoline bouncier than a round one?
No, less bouncy actually. I think?? :? :) :P :D
Do trampolines repel Mosquitos?
Even though it's very hard to believe, yes trampolines do technically repel Mosquitos. Most trampolines are made out of a material called taut. Taut is a bouncy material (solid) but is also commonly used as a liquid. In mosquito repellant spray, their have been found traces of taut. So yes, trampolines do repel Mosquitos!
What was the first trampoline like?
bouncy hehe This actually is quite an interesting question, the first trampoline actually looked like a walrus skin. As the first trampoline was invented by the eskimos holding a walrus skin nice and taught and bouncing people up into the air.
Do round or rectangular trampolines bounce higher?
The trampolines that provide the most bounce are made in Europe. These rectangular trampolines have a surface that is constructed of "string" and attached to the bed are special springs that propel the athletes from 20 to 25 feet high. Sometimes even higher. The next bounciest trampolines are American made and are very similar to the European trampoline except they are slightly smaller and not raised as high off the ground. The least bouncy are the round, home-type trampolines with a solid black propalene and much smaller springs. That these trampolines bounce much lower is a good thing since most home trampolines would produce far more injuries since the person jumping would probably go much higher than they can control. The problem arises out of the assumption most people make that since it is so easy to bounce high it must be easy to become a good bouncer. Nothing is further from the truth. Once a person loses their balance their body begins to rotate which means they will come down, but not on their feet in most cases. With the added height of the professional trampolines the novice bouncer would only rotate further off balance and fall from greater heights. There are important basic safety rules on trampolines of any type. I have witnessed kids violate each of these rules each time the get on the trampoline. Sooner or later they will fall and if they are lucky instead of getting hurt they will only gain more respect for the trampoline. The most important rule, although not an "official" rule, is never to bounce higher than you want to fall. The second most common (and most commonly broken on home tramps) is never to bounce with more than one person at a time. After that it is best to research the rules and become familiar with them. Rectangular trampolines are generally larger and have more surface area and more springs. That is the main reason they bounce far higher than round, home-style trampolines. Also, the type of surface, or bed, is important. Home trampolines have a solid surface that is flexible but not nearly as flexible as professional trampolines that make use of string beds and very advanced spring design. Because the string and springs stretch further, the bouncer is able to push the bed down further which means that the trampoline will propel them further as a result.Beginning trampolining Not every one is looking for the best height in a trampoline especially if you're just learning the basics. Ive been doing trampolining at home now for about 4 months and my trampoline I go on wasn't expensive but is the most fun ever. I can already do front flips and back flips. If you are using your trampoline at home I would definitely recommend using an enclosure, just for that added safety which will boost your confidence massively. Very true information I have been doing gymnastics for about 6 years now, the best way to learn is at home in the comfort of your own surroundings, but i would recommend going for a rectangular trampoline when looking to be learning the basic skills.

What makes a trampoline have good bounce?
Usually, it's your brand. If your brand is good, then your in luck, because it will be a long while before you have an un-bouncy trampoline. Other people, who have a cheap brand but don't want to get a new one, take springs out. ~Splitz.monkey13~
Is there a way to make your trampoline less bouncy?
Replacing the springs (the metal that holds the jumping fabric) with stronger springs. Replacing the jumping fabric with a tougher fabric.
