Canadian Tire

Springfree Trampoline Set Up at 2009 Canadian Tire Conference

Get excited Canada, Springfree™ Trampoline is coming to Canadian Tire in 2010.

It’s so exciting to finally be able to tell everyone!

We appeared at the Canadian Tire Dealer Convention this October, and can’t wait to be in store next year.

The convention hosts new and exciting products for dealers to have a sneak peak at, and we had overwhelmingly positive feedback.

There was a lot of interest from everyone in the safety features and engineering design of the Springfree™ Trampoline.

Three time Olympic trampoline medalist, Karen Cockburn, and Silver Olympic trampoline medalist, Jason Burnett, signed autographs, drawing crowds as they performed amazing demonstrations.

I also couldn’t resist the fun and jumped every chance I got.

Canadian Tire was founded in 1922 and is a major Canadian family retailer with 475 stores across Canada. That means you’ll be able to pick up a Springfree™ Trampoline in your neighborhood store as early as spring.

Stay tuned for more information of the availability of the Oval Springfree™ Trampoline at a store near you!

Jerry Burrell, President of Impact Entertainment, Inc. and trainer of ACRODUNK is pleased with the safety and appeal the Springfree™ Trampoline adds to their performance.

“The trampoline looks new and fresh, while providing a great performance, which is what ACRODUNK is all about.” 

But Mr Burrell has a message for all those keen to try their stunts at home, “Our team has had intensive training and we’re good at what we do, but jump safe on your Springfree Trampoline and leave the stunts to us!  These tricks are not to be performed in your backyard or on the Springfree Trampoline!”

ACRODUNK are now performing at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas with other finalists from America’s Got Talent.  You can follow them on Facebook.
