Do they finally have stuff set that's actually hard? Last time I stopped in there I completed all but two of the C5's and decided going there was a waste of my time...

Couldn't tell ya, C5s are still pretty tough projects for me. I just go to the Hanger because it's nice and close to my house (plus I like their rolling reset system). The Chinook location is still their best bouldering facility by a mile.

I have a friend who is an orthopedic surgeon.......

He says that place is the biggest source of work for him.
Lots of kids getting injured there.

I'm too fat and too lazy so I suspect I won't find out first hand.

Cheers!

Has anyone been to both the trampline parks in the city? Is one better than the other for 'adults'? I went to the "Xtreme Air" one once, but left because there was 1,000,000 kids and I didn't think they would have appreciated us jumping around.

Been there, took my kid and fml I was sore. I couldn't believe it. I could barely get out if the foam pit. I'm so out of shape haha

Fair enough yeah. CCC Chinook has pretty good bouldering well way better than the other locations that for sure. The Crux over in the NE by barlow has some really nice setting and is much quieter which is really nice. More ghetto though since they are not rolling in cash like CCC.

I've gone there a bunch of times and always came back tired, sore, with a pulled muscle somewhere, but it was worth it haha

Oh this is a great idea for a valentine date, the woman and I would love this! What's the recommended attire there? I'm guessing shorts and a t-shirt would be comfy, although if it's -20 outside that might be a pain. Do they have change rooms? I see they insist on trampoline socks, they must sell those there. Please, no rental socks

[C_Dave45]

Yes you buy the socks and keep them for future visits. ($4? IIRC)
It's warm inside. Shorts and T-shirt. There is a large washroom where a lot of people changed. Large lockers as well. Water fountain, plus a cafeteria for food.

^perfecto, thanks mate!

[klumsy_tumbler]

er.... what exactly are these "trampoline socks"? How are they different from normal socks?

[drtoohotty1]

They have little plastic non slip grips on the bottom

[jwslam]

So like yoga socks?

[Maxx Mazda]

They're $4... Just buy them.

If you take your regular socks on you will slide all over the place on the trampolines. Go barefoot or buy the socks.

I'm having trouble believing that... The only way you should "slide all over the place" is if you're flying around wildly with zero control...

How silly. FWIW, many people compete in normal socks, the only requirements being that they had to be white.

You HAVE to wear their socks. It's not an option. And you ARE flying wildly around when you're going from trampoline to trampoline. You don't just jump straight up and down.
The socks are a must. It's like saying you don't need cleats to play soccer.

And this is how places like this come to a close:

Sherwood Park teen breaks his neck at trampoline park: family

The older brother of an 18-year-old Sherwood Park man says his brother is scheduled to undergo surgery Tuesday after allegedly breaking his neck at a trampoline park east of Edmonton.

On Monday night, Jordan Smith told Global News the incident happened Saturday evening when his brother Landon went to Jump Park Trampoline in Sherwood Park, Alta. to attend a child’s birthday party with his girlfriend and her family.

“It was actually just his first jump,” Smith said, adding his brother had been to different trampoline parks nearly a dozen times before.

“He actually bottomed out the trampoline… it’s obviously a foam pit, and then the floor of the foam pit’s a trampoline, and then after the trampoline is concrete. So he bottomed out the foam pit.”

Smith wasn’t there but said people who were with his brother told him it was Landon’s girlfriend who found him after and realized something had gone terribly wrong. “He obviously had gone under and they couldn’t see him in the foam pit, and the girl he was with… she thought he was just kind of joking around so all the little kids were like, ‘Landon, get out of the way, we want to go,'” he said.

“After about five minutes of everybody thinking he was joking… (the girl he was with) jumped in the foam pit, found his leg… and that’s when somebody was like, ‘call 911 right now.’

“He goes into surgery tomorrow but right now, based on the MRI and stuff like that, he’s got a broken neck… and some damage to his spinal cord and some torn ligaments in the actual neck itself,” Smith said, adding doctors were waiting to perform the surgery until Landon’s swelling had gone down.

According to Smith, his brother was able to wiggle his toes on Sunday but was in and out of consciousness while in the ambulance because it’s believed Landon also hit his head on the concrete.

Jump Park Trampoline issued a statement about the incident on its Facebook page Monday. “We would like to confirm that there was an incident at our facility over this past weekend where an 18-year-old guest was injured in our foam pit,” the statement said in part. “We are in contact with his family and offering any support we can.”

Jump Park Trampoline added its foam pit “is industry standard with 3.5 feet of foam blocks resting above an extra precautionary trampoline above the facility’s floor.” It also said safety was its top priority and that trained professionals had completed a “thorough inspection of all parts of the foam pit and the precautionary trampoline, and have been advised that there are no defects with the equipment.”

The venue also said it would continue to inspect its equipment on a daily basis.

“We are committed to the safety of our guests and will continue to cause our equipment to be inspected on a daily basis as we have since we opened.”
