what's worse is they are showing it on TV. There are so many better sports they could be showing.
have you been practicing? You could make your Olympic debut!
Yeah, showing it on TV - in PRIME TIME!!! When I saw that event I wondered if I was at the circus.
um, hello people. did you actually watch it? i was glued to it on msnbc over the weekend. it's very cool. and has the requisite element of danger. it's ten times better than rowing. but you know what? i take that back. every olympic event is awesome. well, except maybe fencing. that is seriously lame.
I would rather watch fencing than trampoline. There is just gymnastics overload in prime time. Plus, the element of danger does not appeal to me since I hate the F-ing X-games.
Nick: The kids a few doors down have a trampoline. I should see if they'll let me use it.
Chad: I had the same experience the first time I saw beach volleyball in prime time. When I first saw it I thought I wsa watching Baywatch.
Angie: I have to respectfully disagree. Emily said it best when she pointed out trampoliners are some sort of gymnast/diver hybrids who weren't good enough for either sport.
fair enough. but when you jump on your neighbor's trampoline, see how comfortable you are jumping 1/4 as high as them, let alone flipping all around. i think Em has a good analogy, but has it backwards. this is way harder than diving. why in the world do i feel so compelled to defend trampoline?
trampoline is tight.
