Plains Gymnast Jumps His Way to the Olympic Games

Growing up a shy kid in Plains, Texas, Chris Estrada's mom wanted him to participate in something outside of school so he jumped on the trampoline and started practicing in Yoakum County.

Today, he's #1 on trampoline and is the top male on the U.S. Trampoline team. Having moved to Louisiana when he was 18 and training at the Olympic center in Colorado Springs, Estrada doesn't forget about Plains and he hopes to jump to a medal in Bejing!!
