World Diving Champion trains on his Backyard Pro

​Dr. Brad Smart is a former two time All-American collegiate diver. After he graduated college and formed his own very successful company and married and had a family, he had gotten away from diving. However his children wanted a trampoline and he decided to buy them a good one that they could not only play on but improve their sports performance also. He bought them a Backyard Pro® trampoline. When he saw how much fun they were having, he decided to try a few moves on the trampoline. Dr. Smart started practicing his dry board diving skills. Eventually he perfected his diving skills and started entering Masters diving meets. He became a very successful competitor and won meet after meet resulting in competing in an ever larger distance from his home. Eventually in due time Dr. Smart qualified and entered the World's Champion Masters Competition which was held in London England. In that competition he won first place and became the World Champion Masters Diver. He said that in order to win, he had to perform dives more difficult than when he competed in college as an All-American diver. Eventually he ended up buying two Backyard Pro trampolines and continues to be active in diving.

Dear Backyard Pro: 

I purchased a Backyard Pro trampoline, for aerobic conditioning for myself and sports training for my children. As a former twice All-American spring­board diver, I wish that I had had the Backyard Pro when I was training in college. 
These days I find working out on my Backyard Pro to be a fun diving dry board training and aerobic workout. My children have used it constantly for recreation and also for training in diving, various gymnastic events, and competitive water-skiing.

​Sincerely yours:

Bradford D. Smart, Ph. D.
