Trampolining, 1960

Video file

When this was filmed in 1960 the commentator had to explain what a trampoline was, as this piece of equipment was still unusual. The film shows an Auckland family, the Bonhams, who learned trampolining long before it became a competitive gymnastic event in New Zealand.
