Jumping with friends, trying tricks or putting a sprinkler on the trampoline always made for a great summer treat and memories of lying on a trampoline at night under the stars was a great way to end a day. Well there is a new Flip Out Phenomenon coming to town. People of all ages get ready for the newest and most exciting entertainment that is Flip Out.
