"Yeah, but...is bouncing FUN?"

One of the reasons I see rebounding taking off dramatically in the next few years is that, plain and simple, it's a whole lot of fun. It just *feels* really good, and I frequently enter periods of flat-out ecstacy.
From the very first time I got on a quality rebounder 6 years ago (I'm not counting my experience with a cheap rebounder in 1984), I simply really liked the way it felt. There's a physical and energetic expansion which, coupled with the wave-like motion of rebounding, naturally pulls me (entrains me) into states of physical and psychological bliss.
And while video doesn't quite capture the actual feeling, I think that the look on my face in these three videos can give you a pretty good "taste" of what you have to look forward to from a regular rebounding practice.

Jordan,
I’ve been a poor correspondent, I know. However, I currently have an
idea that I would appreciate a “gut” response on. Is it worth people’s
time if they were to run across a blog with this material on it?
I’ll come back later this week. I can see you’ve developed some of your own ideas into something for the internet world.
Thanks,
Rationalpsychic (and getting less rational by the day!)
Um, are you asking if it is worth people's time to look at this blog? Or some other blog when you say “with this material on it”?
If you meant this blog, well, I don't really know. I write what I write, post it, and move on. I would like to write a much more comprehensive and easier-to-access guide to rebounding, and I'm sure that will come forth over time. Thanks for your interest, in any case.
