So we had rented this house and it actually was a, I think a family was living in, um, Florida or the landlord was living in Florida. And I, I was, I actually moved into this house. There was a friend of mine, um, Tim Rigby, I think who actually had the lease. Um, my friend, um, was Brad Martin at the time. And another friend of mine, Brad Simonson, who's now a visual effects producer, uh, um,
And what we did in the backyard, we had bought a trampoline, an Olympic-sized trampoline. And we were learning trampoline skills because it actually helps you for a couple of reasons. One, for high falls. When you're falling off of something, you want to be able to fall.

understand air awareness and get your head under and fall to your back you know into the pads you always want to get to your back um so your trampoline allows you to train that you know that that skill and that instinct at constant repetition like you're doing you're jumping up you're doing a header we call it where you're just like landing on your back and bouncing landing on your back and bouncing and your body gets used to you fall off of something you get to your back that's why trampoline is so crucial to the stuntman's um

Training. So we had this in the backyard and we just decided, you know, why don't we dig it into the background? It should be great if we had like a flush with the ground. So one afternoon we just got the shovels out. We didn't ask the landlord and we dug a hole and sunk the trampoline into the ground and

And, um, and then later that month, I think we bought cinder block and we made it perfect and we sort of really dressed it out. And it was funny that we stayed in the house for four years, three, four years, and the landlord never said anything. And then we've always paid our rent on time and, and we would train at this house in Redondo beach. We'd fall off the roof. We would use the air ram.

We would bounce on the trampoline. Um, It was just fun times. It was really, really fun times training ourselves to be stunt people.

It's funny. That house stayed in sort of the stunt world for a long time. So we didn't want to... I remember when Chad came back from the Matrix movies, he just made some good money, and he's like, I'm going to buy the house. And we're like, what? You're going to buy the house? And so... He got someone in real estate. I think his brother was doing real estate at the time.

And they reached out to the landlord and they made an offer on the house. And then Chad ended up just to keep the trampoline. That's our mindset. Like we wanted the trampoline more than the house. He's like, I'm going to buy the house. I had already moved out. I was renting from Chris O'Hara and living in a different place, but he's like, I'm going to buy this.
