  • The Monkey Business Podcast #12 - Winterizing Your Trampoline
    Jan 13 2025

    In this episode of The Crazy Ape Show, Luke and Armand dive into all things winterizing your trampoline. Do you pack it up or keep bouncing all year round? The answer depends on how much care you're willing to put in. The hosts break down key maintenance tips, from cleaning your trampoline before the winter to managing the snow that builds up. They discuss everything from the weight of snow (and how deceivingly heavy it can be) to the potential risks of letting your trampoline sit buried under it. Whether you choose to take your trampoline apart for the winter or keep it up for those snowball-trampoline sessions, Luke and Armand emphasize that proper cleaning and snow management are essential. They also share their favorite tools—like leaf blowers and Pink Solution (not sponsored!)—to make the maintenance process a breeze. With Crazy Ape’s Canadian-built trampolines, you can trust that your setup is Built to Last and built to withstand our harsh canadian winters - but it’s all about how you treat it!

  • The Monkey Business Podcast #11 - Vented Pads, Crossed Springs, & Other SILLY Trampoline Gimmicks
    Oct 7 2024

    In this episode of The Monkey Business Podcast, we dive into the wild world of trampoline gimmicks. Our goal? To set the record straight on why features like vented pads, crossed springs, and Bluetooth trainers are more about marketing hype than real value.

    Luke and Armand break down each so-called "innovation," explaining why these advancements often create more problems than they solve, from uneven tension to increased safety risks. These aren’t real innovations—just innovative ways for brands to squeeze more money out of their customers. The episode wraps up with a look at genuinely beneficial add-ons, like pad lifters, enclosure systems, covers, basketball hoops, and anchor kits, which enhance the trampoline experience without the unnecessary fluff - Crazy Ape focuses on add-ons that enhance safety and fun without compromising durability.

    As always, Crazy Ape trampolines are Built to Last. As always, we're excited about the many projects we have lined up and would love to help you create the ultimate backyard experience!
