Re: What Trampoline do I have?

How bad is the track? Steve Sawford has some wider head rivets that can be helpful if you think that would do the job (I might still have some too). You might be able to stick and rivet a small plate over the crack if it's not too bad or in the wrong place. Otherwise, as Bob suggests, the tramp woul...

Re: Conversion of Sting to Sprint 15

It is generally better to buy a Sprint 15 if that is what you want or just fun sail it as a Sting.

I tried this with an RS 300 some time back but didn...
