The following is a very cool article about the evolution of trampo-wall and how some pioneering young bouncers in Quebec City are trying to develop it into a sport. Their sights are set on having it become a part of the X-Games.
I think this is a wonderful idea and I really enjoy Julien Roberge's vision for the sport. The idea is to focus more on innovation than technique, unlike the very strict and rigid rules of competitive trampoline. Not that there's a shortage of exceptional skill. Roberge proposes having three judges, one each for difficulty, style and height, with the style judge giving out the highest number of points.
Be sure to check out the video as there's some really great footage, as well as a chance to see the absolutely stunning Quebec Circus School.
