Freestyle Trampoline Association
Malibu Aerobic, Acrobatics, Freediving ...Summary
Description
Traditional Olympic Trampoline is quickly decreasing in popularity and has given an opening to a brand new way to flip on a trampoline that is closer to Action Sports culture than traditional straight-laced sports. The FTA is making “Amateur” olympic Trampoline into a Professional Action Sport and is similar to snowboarding in terms of culture and attitude. Trampoline is being de-olympified by 2028 and the acrobatic world is watching the FTA now because we are the only ones who have ever successfully created an alternative global competitive system with athletes from 13 countries representing their brands and nations at the 2023 World Champs. We are officially selling our events to cities all over the world who agree that trampoline can be a major crowd pleaser the way the FTA broadcasts the events compared to the traditional trampoline version that gets no visibility. This gives partners of the FTA guarnteed reach each year through TV and social media with our influencers all over the world. We are the newest action sport and have many networks already airing our World Series and are positioned for X-Games inclusion in years to come. Join our Journey as we delve into Esports and Mixed Reality by 2026. #FTAworldchamps

Greatest successes
GT Games June 2017: This is the first event we hosted and with the major American media promotion we received, we were now known as the “Sport Born On Instagram” (NYT, LA Mag) and many other outlets all over the world. It was our spark!
#FTAworldchamps August 2022: This was our first official World Champs event and was a huge success, showing the world that these ‘crazy’ DIY “Flippers” could in fact organize into a professional World Champs broadcasted event complete with commentary and post-event media distribution to 1.35B tv's around the world. Now everyone was really paying attention from the Olympic traditional side of the sport which was failing to attract new audiences.
Signed Eurotramp To An Exclusive Long Term Partnership July 2023: Eurotramp is the Olympic trampoline supplier and by signing with us, they told the entire trampoline industry they were betting on the FTA to be the leaders of the sport in the future as they knew trampoline would be de-olympified.
#FTAworldchamps August 2023: This past year we added in the first official Female category to the world champs. We are now being picked up by female sports networks all over the world.
FTA Goes Mainstream October 2023: The FTA has now officially signed with the Sports Marketing Group who now promotes the FTA directly to cities all over the world. The “Sport Born On Instagram” is now going mainstream with the SMG's help and selling city rights, broadcast rights and major sponsors all over the world to a mainstream audience.
FTA First Training Center November 2023: The FTA has secured a location and investment team to finance the FTA's first training center that will be franchised out all over the world feeding athletes to the World Series for years to come. We hope to have our first location opened in NL by 2025 and 5 locations by 2027. We already have offers all over the world for our center.
