Slamball

You've probably seen it on TV. A basketball court with trampolines. Apparently it's called Slamball. It's got teams. It's got action. It's official. It's just about impossible to find a place that is actually set up for the public to play. It's probably the perfect TV sport - accessible only by TV. I founed another "official" Slamball site.

Clearly, I've mixed reactions about this innovation. I applaud the inventiveness, the action, the challenge. But I am less than impressed by accessability, or lack thereof. Even if they eventually build Slamball courts for the public, It might turn out with all this need for expensive, special equipment, that there's too little room for fun.
