He lost control of his patent as copy-cat versions exploded onto the market and in the
Fifties there sprung up huge numbers of unregulated 'jump centres' which ultimately caused a period
of demise in the sport in the USA due to the large numbers of accidents
reported and consequent law suits. You learn from kids. He sponsored the first World championships
at the Albert Hall in 1964, and with his Dutch acrobat wife Annie he then
travelled to South Africa and South America to spread the word. First he travelled to
England where he established a business base in Essex, then into Europe and Russia at
the height of the Cold War. Until he found his next opportunity.The born publicist and
entrepreneur saw a new niche for trampolines - in training the army - and he
had his picture taken for the press showing cadets how to jump. By the time
you're in college it begins to decline.' To buck that trend: 'You've got to watch
kids. His brother then looked after the business while he was in the Navy and
during this period the design evolved. He even dabbled in the movies, but found some
of the people too distasteful. He said: 'Children have tons of creativity. For more than
50 years he worked with the international sports scene to achieve this 925 silver goal, and then
finally at Sydney 2000 he did a demonstration performance himself, aged 86. He attributed his
good health in old age to the three things he loved best: working, loving and
creating. As Newsweek commented: 'What went up was plainly coming down.' Nissen hated these centres
as there was no proper supervision, but he was powerless to act.Perhaps Nissen's greatest achievement
as a marketeer was his famous kangaroo photocall. Trampolining, he said: 'It's like the king
of all sports.'But despite his boundless enthusiasm, Nissen's invention in many ways got too big
for him commercially. Reading about George Nissen, one can't help wishing he were still alive
today. The photo was published all over Europe, even in Yugoslavia. During his lifetime he
registered 35 patents and was latterly honoured in the American Inventors Hall of Fame. He
then came away with so many orders that he had to put off enlisting himself.
Both astute and selfless, he did much for developing sport around the world.It was this
commitment to developing trampolining which ultimately brought him his greatest prize -its place in the
Olympics. Here they practised with local gymnasts and divers, hence the Spanish word for his
best-known invention, El Trampolin.On returning home to Iowa, Dad thought it was time for George
to get a proper job. Speaking in recent years Zapatillas Puma he attributed his creativity to the
fact that he never grew up. So he set about organising a promotional tour which
saw The Leonardos performing at more than 200 school assemblies a year. He always remained
close to the gymnastics scene (after all he had been three times national intercollegiate champion)and
not only did he engender a passion for trampolining among the Russians, which led them
later to take home many medals, but he also arranged for athletes to compete in
the United States. But then Nissen, with an almost missionary zeal, determined to take his
invention round the world. A mix of entertainment, fitness instruction and promotion, these tours encouraged
a few sales to YMCAs and schools. He said: 'People thought it was the funniest
thing and they'd just laugh and laugh.'His most recent inventions included a 'Bunsaver' which was
designed to cushion behinds during baseball and a 'Laptop Exercycle' which was intended to help
with the problems caused by sitting cramped in airlines. Sadly he died from complications with
pneumonia on April 7th, 2010, aged 96, but he will forever be remembered as the
father of trampolining. He hired one from a Long Island animal supplier and managed to
get a photo of both him and the kangaroo as if frozen in mid-air. A
modern-day Peter Pan, who trampolined daily and was doing handstands in his 80s and headstands
in his 90s he must have been some Grandad.The inventor of the modern day trampoline
and pioneer of what is now an Olympic sport, Nissen was a man of boundless
creativity. But then wartime struck and even the positive-thinking Nissen thought his business would be
ruined. Instead, George set about promoting the trampoline he had built in his garage as
a student. And sometimes you have to act like a kid.'Leaving college as a business
graduate in 1937, he refused to follow the 'corporate' route, and instead - much to
his father's chagrin - he set off travelling with friends to Mexico. There, 'The Leonardos',
as they styled themselves, performed acrobatic routines for cash and kept fit by working out
at the local YMCAs. The original canvas beds were replaced with the same nylon webbing
that was then being used for parachute straps and to this day a similar material
is used.Around 100 trampolines were sold to the army during the war. He knew the
kids loved it, as he had taken an early prototype to the local kids summer
camp before he'd been travelling. And as he said himself: 'When you see hundreds of
kids jumping on trampolines you know that the idea was really worth something...more than just
your bullshit.'Stephen Davis Atlantic Trampolines http://www.atlantictrampolines.co.uk.
