Hello everyone!
It can be quite difficult to stay active in the winter here
in the Czech Republic. It either involves a pair of skis or building up a sweat
inside. Usually we play squash every Monday but this weekend we tried something
new to raise our adrenaline levels.
Back in December, my ‘Secret Santa’ bought two tickets for a
place called ‘Jumppark’. Based in
the east of Prague, it is apparently the first trampoline park in central
Europe and comprised of two large rooms. With almost 700m2 of trampolines,
there’s a lot of space to bounce around on.
Before being allowed to jump, we were subjected to a rather
graphic cartoon video which seemed to show all the different ways a bouncer
could break their bones.
The complex is split into two rooms, with the second chamber
being a large open area comprised of many small trampolines. It was amazing to
watch some of the children happily skipping along from trampoline to
trampoline, if a little disheartening when I tried to do the same thing and
must have seemed like a drunk snail in comparison.
The first room had three different sections: a dodgeball
area, a pair of basketball hoops above some trampolines and a row of springy
floors which led into a deep pit of foam cubes. Perfect for somersaults. Well,
attempts at somersaults…
An exhausting yet exhilarating hour later, it was time to
stop. Heart racing, adrenaline coursing through veins. A super Saturday
morning. Boinnnng!
Love you all
Matt
