What Should be Attention When Start Your Inflatable slides Business
Answer
Bouncy castle and similar structures are temporary inflatable buildings and structures that are rented for functions, school and church festivals and village fetes and used for recreational purposes, mainly used by children. The growth in popularity of moonwalks has led to an inflatable rental industry which includes inflatable slides, obstacle courses, games, and more. Inflatables are ideal for portable amusements because they are easy to transport and store. The name given to such structures varies.
They have been marketed with such names as bounce house, Moon Bounce, Astrojump, Moonwalk, Jolly Jump and Spacewalk. The term "Bounce House" came to popularity with the resurgence of hipster culture in New England. "Pula pula" is another name commonly used by Latinos, which literally means "jump jump". The term 'Jolly Jumps' is often used to describe the inflatable playground structure in rural areas and some areas in the Western US, but the term is otherwise obsolete.
Although they are often aimed at children, adult castles can be hired in the many countries,like UK,US,China,Europe and so on. Because of liability concerns, moonwalks are rarely rented to adults in the US. Historically, names for inflatable structures, particularly in the United States, are composed of two, one syllable words. In the United States the terms that consist of two, one syllable words are popular. In Southern California, another popular term is Closed Inflatable Trampolines, or "CITs". Bouncy Castle or Inflatable Castle are used in Ireland, the UK, New Zealand and parts of Australia, and Jumping Castles in Arizona, Australia, Canada and South Africa.
As a whole the term moon bounce has become a generic term for enclosed inflatable trampolines worldwide. Following the popular of inflatables, more and more countries start a rental business,and the kinds of inflatables more and more day by day. Except bouncy castle, also water slide,inflatable tent, giant inflatables,bounce house for children. Many buyer found that usually people are willing buy one or two pieces of bouncy castle or water slide for their children.So not only to rental inflatble, some big imported especial import some small size family using inflatables.
Actually that brings big profit to importer, becuase inflatable field is few in their country and the cose is very expensive in Europe and America,Australia. Also some advertising company will order the big inflatable tent for sport, like tennis,basketball,football,badmin and so on. In winter many countries will snow, it will effect outdoor sports, but many youngers like outdoor sport in winter. Based on this,some smart merchant found that and place order about tent. One of my clients even order an big size of 30*60*15m for 600 people.At present his business is very good.

who invented the trampoline ?
Q.
Answer
George Nissan
Here is the full info -
The manufactured trampoline, as we know it today, was created by two men, George Nissen and Larry Griswold, allegedly in George's garage. One day in 1935, with the help of the wrestling coach at the University of Iowa, Nissen and Griswold bolted together an iron frame. A piece of canvas, in which they had inserted grommets along each side, was then attached to the frame by using springs. This was the first trampoline. Nissen called it a Trampoline after hearing "El trampolin" (Spanish for diving board), on a performance tour in Mexico around this time, and registered the term as a trademark. In 1942, Griswold and Nissen decided to formalise their small operation of making trampolines. They created the Griswold-Nissen Trampoline & Tumbling Company in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and history was made....
Over to the UK.... In 1949, Ted Blake organised to purchase a second hand Nissen trampoline for Loxford School in Ilford, Essex, from an Aqua Show in Bournemouth. This became the favourite piece of equipment at the school, and they were invited to do a demonstration at the 1951 Festival of Britain. In 1956 Ted Blake became Managing Director of a branch of the Nissen Trampoline Company which was set up in England to cope with the British and European markets.
And so on to Europe.... In 1957 Kurt Baechler of Switzerland, who was working in California at the time, flew to Cedar Rapids, signed for Nissen, and together with Frank LaDue worked out a basic introduction to trampolining. They then took the sport to schools in Germany and Switzerland, and set up the Swiss Headquarters of the Nissen Trampoline Corp. in Kurt's home town of Gumligen, Switzerland. In 1958, after a trampoline competition in Zurich, the first international Nissen Cup was held in the town of Wasen, during the month of August.
It was Bob Bollinger of Rockford, Illinois who revolutionized judging of trampolining, introducing a system that is still being used today (with only a few modifications) separating the difficulty from the evaluation of the execution. The very first Open Trampoline Competition in the UK was at a water carnival organised by the Ilford Diving Club in 1957. The winner on this occasion was an Ilford diver by the name of Mick Forge. It could be said that Mick was the first ever British trampoline champion. The first ever televised British Championships were in 1958, and the First (UK) National Trampoline Championships was held at Stanmore Park, Middlesex, UK in 1959. The first World Championships were held in London in 1964.
Soon after the first World Championships in 1964, the inaugural meeting of prominent trampolinists was held in Frankfurt to explore the formation of an International Trampoline Federation. In 1965 in Twickenham, the Federation was formally recognised as the International Governing Body for the sport. By 1969 the first European Championship was held in Paris and Paul Luxon of London was the winner at the age of 18. The ladies winner was Ute Czech from Germany. From that time onwards, European and World Championships have taken place in alternate years - the European in the odd and the World in the even. In 1990, Ron Froehlich (USA) takes over the Presidency. In 1998, the I.O.C. accepted the F.I.T. as a federation. The F.I.T. then underwent fundamental changes. Its structures were dissolved and as of January 1, 1999, Trampoline became a F.I.G. (F�d�ration Internationale de Gymnastique) discipline. Horst Kunze (GER) retained the Chair of the Technical Committee. And then in 2000 Trampoline became "Olympic" in Sydney, Australia.
Tumbling's competitive roots go back even further than that of Trampolining. It was even an Olympic Sport in 1932 when F. Wolfe, USA, was the winner. It was in 1976 that the FIT introduced Tumbling to its disciplines.
The third FIT discipline is Double-Mini Trampolining, which has only emerged as a branch of Trampolining since the mid 1970's. Double Mini-Trampoline competition was added in 1978. The first double mini-trampoline began as two individual mini-tramps, separated by a small table covered by a mat. Later, a one-piece unit was developed by Bob Bollinger and is used today as the official equipment for that event.

Australia
We've all heard how trampolining started in the USA, UK and Europe, but what about Australia....?
Trampolining in Australia started in the late 50s, with a few ex-gymnasts seeing trampolines and trampolining in magazines etc from the USA and UK. This resulted in a couple of trampolines being made here in Australia, one in NSW, and one in Victoria. These trampolines were about 20 feet long, made of 3 inch pipe and were fixed frame ones which were bolted together. Consequently, they had to be taken apart and re-assembled each time they were used. They had the traditional shock cord instead of springs, using just one length that was threaded round the whole trampoline. In the early days the beds were made of canvas, but in the late 50s this was changed to the now familiar woven string bed. A couple of web beds were imported from the US by Allan Ploughman who was the Nissen agent for Australia, but these were rather expensive.
The NSW Association was formed in 1960, with Fred Austine being one of the founding members. The first State Championships of any kind in Australia were held in NSW in 1961, where Fred competed at the tender age of 29. Victoria also held a competition later that year, but it was more of an interclub. Victoria held their first State Championships in 1962.
