Trampoline is a sport that is starting to prime for a major push, not in terms of support from the supporters but from other athletes. According to Radebe, TuksTrampoline has produced more Springbok and Protea trampoline gymnasts than any other club. According to the Summer Olympic Sports, there are several trampoline competitions and events, however, only two of them where introduced at the Olympics namely the women’s and men’s competitions. Trampoline is still developing, however, Radebe believes that Trampoline does not receive the recognition it deserves. Radebe is one of the outstanding trampoline gymnasts, he performed exceptionally well at the 2009 World Games and at the 2014 World championships, despite having undergone knee operations.
