Being connoisseurs in the trampoline park industry for almost a decade, Luke Schueler and his twin brother Cody founded Shock Trampoline Parks in order to identify potential problems the industry faces. Shock Trampoline Park Systems was established to fulfill the need in the industry to create a safer trampoline park. The industry has grown rapidly in North America and has recently expanded into international markets. This rapid expansion has brought to light one of the main issues a park owner can face- injuries sustained by patrons when they lose control and land on trampoline pads that overlay the steel frames. As a solution to this problem, the two entrepreneurs developed and patented the world’s only shock attenuating trampoline park structure. The design includes trampoline shock absorbing suspension mounts, a connection system with a pivoting horizontal bed rail and a German gas shock system incorporated directly into the trampoline framework. These unique entrepreneurs own and operate the world’s largest trampoline parks and manufacture and build trampoline parks for other current park owners and future clients who want to get into the trampoline park industry. Luke and his brother Cody are constantly wowing the public and others in the industry with their innovative, creative ideas and designs in order to create a fun and safe experience for guests and park owners.
The other business Luke and his brother Cody founded is Flying Squirrel Sports, which is the world’s largest indoor trampoline park which is currently in fifteen locations,Calgary, AB(2) – Hamilton, ON – Ottawa, ON – Victoria, BC – Missoula, MT — Spokane, WA – Tampa, FL – Orlando, FL – Miami, FL – Guatemala City, Guatemala – Medellin, Colombia -- and 5 additional locations currently pending construction and multiple locations scheduled to open 2019. The parks offer a number of unique attractions designed to take advantage of the fast-paced fun that only a trampoline can provide. Among these activities are Dunk Hoops, where any player can dunk like a pro, Ninja Courses, Climbing walls, Battle Beams, Slack Lines, Parkour Parks, Rope Swings, Foam Pits, Simulotors, Aerial Silks, Zip Lines, Stunt Jump Air Bags and other adrenaline attractions, which takes the traditional fun and elevates it to a sport unlike any other.Flying Squirrel Sports also transforms at night into the most unique dance club on trampolines.
