  • Trampoline & Tumbling History Canadian Perspective
    Trampoline & Tumbling History Canadian perspective · Court jesters did trampoline skills such as the Barani on planks of wood in medieval times. “Stage Wreckers” was the name given to the early rebound apparatus during this century. The name was developed because the tension on the cables oftentimes pulled up the stage floorboards. · John Henderson of Kamloops BC made his own non-folding trampoline in 1931. He still has a club in BC called “Cats”. · George Nissen invented the folding trampoline, working in his garage in 1936. His mass production, sale and promotion of his device is what started the sport as we know it. In 1950, he stated Trampoline would be an Olympic Sport in 50 years. · The first World Trampoline Championship was in 1964 in London, GB. The Championships took place on 6’ x 12’ trampolines with 1” web beds. Competition was run Man against Man. Dan Millman and Judy Willis of the USA were the first World Champions. · In 1970 the first Canadian Gymnastics Federation sponsored the National Trampoline Championships (Junior and Senior levels only) in Arvada, Quebec. Nationals were held each year with artistic gymnastics until 1992. 1993 saw the first Nationals held at York University. Tumbling was first seen at Nationals in 1982 and DMT made its debut at the 1976 Nationals. · At the 1972 Worlds, Pete Rogers of Canada won the first B Class Championship in trampoline. He still reins today, because the Junior Introductory Level for new countries was dropped. In 1974, end decks were used on Trampolines for the first time at Worlds. · Gymnastics Canada Gymnastique began development of its Trampoline Certification Program in 1975.
