DefyGravity

DEFY Raleigh is a trampoline and extreme air sports park on Departure Drive in north Raleigh. It belongs to a national group of parks built for people who pass on organized sports in favor of ones that challenge them in less traditional ways. The company describes its locations as safe places for fiercely independent people to push themselves.

The idea is a place with room to test yourself and few of the usual rules. Families come for birthday parties, and regulars come often enough that a membership starts to make sense.
