    Flipping Into Hammocks

    My nieces seemed a bit skeptical about "crazy Uncle Jason's" home made walmart table cloth hammock until I showed them the "flip trick." Then I had trouble getting them out of it. Working hard to become "cool Uncle Jason."
    Now they both want "pretty ones" for Christmas.

    If I tried the flip trick, I would go 360 and face-plant on the return...

    I like the idea of using a hammock as a swing!

    About showed the vid of my first attempts but I had a couple shaky false starts. Once this old man pulled it off though the kids made it look too easy. Go figure.

    Knowing my luck I would practice and practice until I could do it no problem and then when I would go to video it something would break..lol.

    Every time my kids start swinging in the hammock I have visions of it snapping and tossing them against the fence. I try to dissuade them but they have such a good time doing it. Both my kids and niece end up hopping in the tablecloth hammock and have a blast too.
