ABOUT
SPACE NEEDS
What are our floor space requirements for a
single trampoline show? Our rectangular
trampolines require an 11’ x 17’ plus 5'
buffer on each side for spectators.
Example 1: Minimum space in center of a
public area is 21'x 27'.
Example 2: Minimum space in a corner area
(i.e., two solid walls), is 16' x 22'.
For outdoor venues an extra 5' x 5’ for canopy
to protect sound equipment from precipitation.
What are our floor space requirements for a
two-trampoline show? Approximately a 32’ x
30’ space if all sides of the trampolines are
exposed to the public. Subtract 5’ for each side
not exposed to the public.
How much overhead space is needed? Our
preferred minimum height is 25' (20' if ceiling
is solid but tricks may be slightly limited).
ABOUT
SOUND
Who provides the sound system? We can
provide a 400-watt sound system but need a 20
amp electric outlet within 200' of performance
area. Larger sound systems are available upon
request.
If an on-site sound system is available we’ll
bring a CD, MP3, or IPOD to be played. We’ll
need a microphone to emcee. For sporting events
(intermission shows) we usually provide a script
for the announcer to read during our show.
Do you require special music? No but the
music should have a moderate to fast beat. We
provide our own music for most venues.
Can we work with live bands/DJs? Yes but
we need to speak to you and them to ensure our
entertainment will be properly integrated.
ABOUT
ARRIVAL AND SET UP
When do we arrive? We like to arrive at
least 1 to 2 hours before performance time and
for sporting events 1 to 2 hours before game
time.
Do we bring lighting? No but reasonably
lit indoor areas and outdoor daylight conditions
are fine. Spotlights may need adjusting to avoid
glare if interfering with athlete’s vision.
How do we get the trampolines into a
facility? We easily enter through
conventional loading docks or doorways at least
32" wide. Our trampolines fold and roll on
wheels (dimensions 2.5’ wide, 11' long, and 78”
- 88"
high).
What do we need to do to set up? The type
of show determines how we set-up. Intermission
shows require quick on/off whereas other shows
we set up at the performance site and don’t need
to move the equipment.
Intermission show pre-set up: We pre-set
up the trampolines by attaching skirts and pads
(and sometimes the springs and bed) to the
trampoline frame. We then place our props
(snowboards, skis, etc.) inside the trampoline
before folding it up. Pre-set up takes 15 to 30
minutes. We can pre-set up away from the
performance area in a 15’ X 20’ space.
Intermission
show performance set-up: We roll the folded
trampoline out to the performance area, quickly
unfold it before starting the show.
Other shows: We set up our equipment in
15 to 45 minutes. We generally set up in the
performance area, although this is not
necessary. We can move our trampoline(s) out of
the way between performances (if necessary).
ABOUT
INTERMISSION SHOWS
How much time is needed to roll trampolines
on and off the floor? Our trampolines are
pre-set up so it takes 35 to 60 seconds to roll
our trampoline(s) onto the performance area,
unfold it, and begin our extreme trampoline
show. After performing, we fold up the
trampoline and roll it out of the way (this
takes about 35 to 60 seconds). We usually plan
on two minutes for total ingress and egress
time. The ingress/egress time can be shortened
to as little as 70 seconds total ingress and
egress time (e.g., hockey intermissions). Please
contact us if extremely tight time constraints
apply to your intermission show so necessary
arrangements can be made.
Can we adjust our show time to accommodate
last minute changes? Yes we customize our
shows to fill your available intermission time
and we can also adjust the show length “on the
fly” to accommodate last second timing changes.
Please let us know in advance if this is likely.
What are typical intermission show times?
Typical show time: For 7 intermission minutes we
plan a 5 minute show.
Tight intermission time constraints: For 3
minutes fifteen seconds intermission time we can
perform a 2 minute show. Call us if your
intermission time requirements are extremely
tight.
Do the trampolines leave marks on the floor?
No the legs of the trampoline are wrapped with
non-marking rubber/cloth material that rest on
the floor. We have never left marks or scratches
on any basketball court or any other surface. We
would not be able to perform at high-profile
NCAA and professional venues if our trampolines
marked or scratched the floor.
Are
the trampolines heavy? No they weigh
approximately 350-400 lbs and the weight is
evenly distributed on the legs.
Are there special requirements for hockey
game intermissions? The only logistical
difference for a hockey game is the ice surface
and shorter intermission time requirements. Both
ends of our trampoline should rest on a
rug/carpet (most hockey arenas use some type of
carpet that limits slipping on the ice surface).
We prefer one rug that is a minimum size of 15'
x 15' (it can be larger). We can work with three
smaller rugs -10' x 2' (two for the ends of the
trampoline and the third for the athletes to get
on and off the trampoline during the
performance)
ABOUT
STAFF
How many people are on your staff?
Usually there are three people for a
single-trampoline intermission show. This
includes two professional athletes and one
manager/emcee. We have staffed single trampoline
shows with just two professional athletes when a
script is read by your announcer. We also
occasionally staff an assistant who may help
with the act and photography. A double
trampoline show includes two additional
professional athletes. For non-intermission
shows the staffing requirements are similar. |
