What are the GTGames?

GTGames (Garden Trampoline Games) is a GTGames is a community event, created for the freestyle trampoline community and shaped by the community. We bring together athletes, parks, brands, and the global gtramp community for fun, creative, and high-energy competitions. The events celebrate progression, style, community, and the unique culture of garden trampoline, giving athletes a place to showcase their skills and connect with others who share the same passion.

Unlike the FTA World Championships, GTGames is not designed to operate around a rigid, minute-by-minute competition schedule. We listen to the athletes, respond to the energy of the event and adapt activities, formats and timing as we go.

Schedules may change. Sessions may run early or late. Challenges may be adjusted, added or moved depending on weather, participation, athlete feedback and what the community wants to do.

That flexibility is intentional. GTGames is about creativity, connection, progression and having fun together; not running every moment to a tight schedule. If you're looking for a community-led event that evolves in real time and embraces the unexpected, welcome to GTGames.

We go with the flow. We adapt. We create.

That’s what makes us freestyle.

The GTGames began in Southern California in 2017 with SkyBound Trampolines, marking the first official competition created specifically for gtramp athletes in America. What started as a community-driven event quickly helped give garden trampoline athletes a real platform to compete, connect, and showcase their skills.

In 2018, GTGames expanded internationally, bringing events to Europe and New Zealand and helping grow the global gtramp movement. Since then, GTGames has continued to play an important role in developing the sport, connecting athletes, brands, and trampoline parks around the world.

What makes the GTGames so special is that it has always been more than just a competition. It is a celebration of the gtramp community; the athletes, brands, parks, families, and fans who helped build this movement from the ground up. The GTGames gives athletes a place to be seen, to push the sport forward, and to share their creativity with others who understand the passion behind it. From backyard beginnings to international events, GTGames continues to represent the heart of garden trampoline: progression, friendship, creativity, and the pure love of bouncing.

What started as simple concept has now grown into the biggest event of the year on 3 continents, celebrating the best of gtramp!

GTGames

THE GTGames is a 3 event global garden trampoline series started in 2017 by Greg Roe to showcase the best #gtramp athletes from North America, Europe and Australasia. Each year, the FTA looks at online Instagram submissions using the GTGames hashtag to choose the best athletes.

The GTGames are not focused on analytical judging, but more as an overall impression. This year we will have a new competition format, with 3 different challenges that athletes can choose from. When you arrive, you will be asked to sign up for the competition categories you wish to enter. These will include:

Game of T.R.A.M.P - Groups of 6 battle it out in a add-on style game of who can land the skill.
Freestyle Battle - go head to head against your favourite flipper to see who will come out on top, in this round robin style competition *new for 2026*
BiG Trick - our favourite event, the best of the best have 3 rounds to show off their best 5 skill gtramp combo, with their teammate (double bouncer).

Community Guidelines

Athletes should be supportive of each other no matter what the competition outcome is. Although there is always a bit of controversy as to judging and scoring subjective movements, our judges have taken an oath to use their best discretion in an open and fair system and their acrobatic background to judge based on overall creativity, control/execution and degree of difficulty. This is why we have chosen judges within the freestyle and traditional communities that are well known for their integrity and knowledge.

Acrobatic skills that seem dangerous or inconsistent and not ready for competition will not be allowed.

All athletes are encouraged to only showcase skills they are confident in and ask for help if need be. With many years of experience our judges understand what is a true demonstration of skill and what is simply “chucking it.” Judges have the right to stop athletes from performing skills that are deemed dangerous. .

Many thanks to our Partners
