In this episode of The Monkey Business Podcast, we get into our proprietary trampoline tuning options. After building hundreds of custom trampolines for athletes, families, and backyard daredevils, we’ve narrowed it down to four dominant tuning styles: Childhood, Classic, and Performance and CRAZY.

This episode breaks down these options, who they’re for, and why tuning matters more than you think. Most trampolines are sold one-size-fits-all. Ours aren’t.

We almost spilled the beans on some upcoming tech around our string beds and hyper tramps—so if you’re into high-performance builds and the specifics that go into them, this one’s for you.

Whether you're building your dream trampoline or just want a smoother bounce for the kids—this episode helps you understand what really makes a trampoline feel right.

It’s a raw look at what goes wrong, what actually works, and what aspiring operators need to understand before they commit to a build. Whether you’re planning your first facility or looking to scale, this episode delivers a clear, grounded take on what goes into creating high-performance trampoline environments with maximum impact.

In this episode of The Monkey Business Podcast, Luke and Armand sit down with Shane Chapman of The Ultimate Deck Shop to explore how 3D design, AI tools, and large language models (LMMs) are reshaping backyard design, planning, and productivity. From building world-class trampolines to designing premium decks, this conversation covers how both Crazy Ape and TUDS are leveraging modern tech to streamline busywork, enhance the client experience, and bring custom outdoor spaces to life—faster and smarter. They also dive into the real-world application of LMMs (like ChatGPT), AI-assisted workflows, and how these tools are helping builders, designers, and business owners save time and deliver better results.
