What's a Microburst?


Great question--just one that I never thought I'd need to answer. Wikipedia has all the intel, and you can read about it if you want. But for the sake of the Sublett family, a microburst is that thing which takes the newly purchased trampoline, lifts it into the air, and throws it into the trees.

Yep.

New trampoline. Into the air.

Whoosh.

Stink.

There is some damage to the support arms that hold up the safety netting. I'm a fan of safety netting, btw.

I remember a place outside of New Orleans (lived there from 3rd-5th grades) that had a whole yard full of trampolines. You paid 'em a few bucks and got to jump for an hour. I think I went a couple of times. There were no safety nets around anything back then. But that's another topic, for another day.

At any rate, we're on a quest to get the trampoline restored so that our neighborhood can get back to jumping together. We're expecting good times and much rejoicing.

And I was the first to land a flip, so I got that going for me.

Man, we moved at the wrong time! I LOVE trampolines although I like them when they are 5 days old not thrown into the air.
But I have to tell you Stacy, I'd destroy you at any kind of flipping contest.
