Trampoline Basketball

Trampolines and Basketball | What a crazy combination

Slamball - The ultimate in extreme indoor sports

If you remember back to your youth I bet there were times when you were bouncing on the trampoline and thought “I wish there was a basketball ring here so I could try out some crazy dunks” well some of us tried it. And some of us broke bones trying it.....well actually I broke bones trying to combine basketball and a trampoline in an impromptu dunk competition with my mate Stuart Blackwood.

Well it turns out that not was I the only person to ever consider it, but some people have taken the idea and turned it into an extreme sport. Take a look at the video below (caution please do not try this at home!!!!!)

Its called SlamBall and as you can see it redefines a high flying sport, and I would definitely pay to watch it. It is a shame there are no SlamBall leagues that I know of in Australia. If you haven’t watched the video SlamBall is essentially a hybrid of basketball and rugby (or American Football) and trampolines are used to make the sport faster and much, much higher than the sports that it evolved from. Some of the highlights are amazing and while some are almost acrobatic and graceful others are physical and possible dangerous.

While I don’t recommend that anyone uses a trampoline near a basketball ring these guys make extensive use of padding both on the trampolines and on the athletes. When I watching the video I found myself really wanting to give SlamBall a try, even though I am sure that I would get damaged in the process. But what about you, would you ever consider play SlamBall or is it all just a bit much for you?
