Dodge, Dip, Duck, Dive, and Dodge...and Bounce


Ever see something that you immediately want to do, while fully acknowledging that it'll end in pain?

Aside from that one chick at the club, that is.

Welcome to trampoline dodgeball. From ESPN's Page 2:
"It feels like I'm back on the playground in second grade," said dodgeballer Matt Liechty, 34.

Like many trampoline centers sprouting across the country, Sky High Sports hosts monthly trampoline dodgeball tournaments that bring out players anywhere from ages 5 through 55. Picture Ben Stiller in all his Globo Gym glory, mixed with some SlamBall. Six-person teams travel from all over to dodge, dip, duck, dive and dodge for cash prizes worth less than a tank of gas. As players get pelted by youthful memories and big foam balls, Raymond says they're getting quite a workout. An hour of jumping on the trampolines will burn more than 1,000 calories.
