More Movement, Less Screen: Why Eurobungy Colorado Champions Active Fun

Screens are everywhere—at home, at school, and even in our pockets. While video games and digital entertainment can be fun in moderation, there’s growing evidence that too much screen time and too little physical activity can have serious consequences for our bodies and minds. At Eurobungy Colorado, we believe it’s time to jump into a healthier, more active lifestyle—literally!

The Hidden Costs of Screen Time

Spending hours glued to a screen can lead to a range of health issues, including:

• Increased risk of obesity due to sedentary habits
• Sleep problems caused by blue light disrupting natural sleep cycles
• Chronic neck, shoulder, and back pain from poor posture
• Higher rates of depression and anxiety
• Lower academic performance and reduced attention span, especially in children

Video games, in particular, can create a cycle of dopamine addiction, where real-world activities start to feel dull compared to the constant stimulation of gaming. This can sap motivation, strain relationships, and even lead to social isolation.

Why Physical Activity Matters

The antidote? More movement, more often! Regular physical activity isn’t just about burning calories—it’s about building a healthier, happier you. Here’s what you gain by getting active:

• Lower risk of heart disease, diabetes, and some cancers
• Better weight management and stronger bones and muscles
• Improved mood, energy, and sleep quality
• Sharper thinking and better academic performance
• Enhanced social connections and self-esteem

Eurobungy: The Ultimate Active Adventure

At Eurobungy Colorado, we make it easy—and exhilarating—to get moving. Our Eurobungy Trampoline lets up to four people jump sky-high at once, safely harnessed and supported by bungee cords for maximum fun and minimal risk. It’s the perfect way to:

• Experience the thrill of flight and gravity-defying jumps

Tips for Cutting Back on Screen Time

Ready to make a change? Here are some proven strategies:

• Set daily screen time limits and stick to them
• Replace screen habits with active hobbies—like jumping on a trampoline, hiking, or playing sports
• Create “screen-free” zones or times at home (like during meals or before bed)
• Schedule regular outdoor activities with friends and family
• Remind yourself that less screen time means more happiness, energy, and real-life adventure

Jump Into a Healthier Lifestyle

Screens will always be part of modern life, but they don’t have to take center stage. By choosing active, engaging experiences like Eurobungy, you’ll boost your health, mood, and memories—while leaving the couch (and the controller) behind.

The Taste of Colorado brought us another fun-filled festival featuring the best that Colorado has to offer, including a gorgeous weekend in the sun! Check out our fun little video from this past weekend’s event to see what you might have missed!

 Article From the Aspen Times website:

Sean Dunlap has seen a lot in his 24 years.

The owner of a bungee-trampoline company once helped strap in an 86-year-old woman in Grand Junction and send her a couple of stories into the air.

When he took the setup to Leadville, strong jumpers went higher than the town’s structures. So it is, then, theoretically possible to leap a tall building in a single bound.

Sunday at Buttermilk, he nearly saw one of his employees, performing graceful flips during a demonstration, land on his dog, Cutter, who had jumped onto the trampoline.

“He likes to jump,” Dunlap said, scooping up the mutt.

As high as people get when they’re strapped in – 32 feet is the max, Dunlap said – the EuroBungy Colorado operation has flown mostly under the public radar at Buttermilk. An Aspen Skiing Co. concierge did not know about the bungee-trampoline option and had to ask around to confirm it was there. EuroBungy Colorado has been at the base of Buttermilk for three years, Dunlap said.

He has an agreement with the Skico to offer those bored with snowsports four- to five-minute jumping sessions. For $10, people can soar as high as possible or perform flips and double flips, backward and forward.

The operation, which had been limited to weekends, will soon be open Wednesdays through Sundays. In the summer, Dunlap has a site atop Aspen Mountain.

All that jumping is exercise, as tourists often find out on top of the mountain at 11,200 feet.

“They do a couple of good power jumps and they’re ready to come down,” Dunlap said.

Much of the thrill, no doubt, is soaring as high as a three-story building, but he said it is “way safer” than a typical backyard trampoline.

“We use multiple bungee cords to ensure safety,” he said. “We regulate your height. We’ll set it up to [your] weight.”

The employees, such as Noah Williams, who demonstrated Sunday, also watch participants’ feet to see how deeply into the trampoline they’re going.
Williams and the other jump specialists teach people the finer points of flipping in midair.

“We pride ourselves in actually working with each individual to give them the best jump that we can,” he said. “We work with them like a personal trainer would.”

At one point, Williams effortlessly descended until his nose was suspended just above the trampoline. It’s not always so elegant. The setup at Buttermilk involves four trampolines, and when all four are in use, it can get a bit chaotic.

“With four strong jumpers at one time, it’s gets pretty crazy,” Dunlap said.

A graduate of Elizabeth High School, on the Front Range southeast of Denver, Dunlap said he saw a bungee-trampoline operation at an event in Denver. Soon after, he started his company, which now operates at sites around the state, such as the Taste of Colorado in Denver.

He acknowledged that “you always want to be cautious anytime trampolines are involved.” Obtaining liability insurance can be a problem, but EuroBungy Colorado has a good track record, he said.

“We never had really anything happen,” Dunlap said. The employees know “their P’s and their Q’s,” and they routinely inspect the bungee cords. “We’re on our game,” he said.

Dunlap has understandably had his fill of jumping. He said he did enough aerial maneuvers in the company’s first two years.

“Now it’s like eating peanut butter for breakfast every morning,” he said.

Our company started in the summer of 2002 and has grown through the years.  We are now involved in some of the best shows/festivals/events in the state of Colorado.  We have found our way into many newspapers and on television.  We believe we have developed some of the best techniques and skills to get the safest thrills from our staff and equipment.

Other operators do not have the pride and knowledge we do!  We want you to have the best experience possible, which is why we are efficient and receptive to each person in order to deliver just the right amount of EXTREME!

So give us a try and experience the difference from the rest…

Each jumper is secured in a 3-point harness (around the waist and both legs). Bungy power cords are then attached to both sides of the harness using multiple cords to ensure a safe back-up system. Jumpers are monitored by one of our trained staff for the duration of the ride as they bounce to an incredible 30 feet in the air!
