Sky Zone founder Case Lawrence releases “Off the Ground: From the Brink of Bankruptcy to the Billion-Dollar Sky Zone Empire” with Forbes Books. ISBN-13: 979-8887507200FORBES BOOKSNEW YORK (May 26, 2026)—Off the Ground: From the Brink of Bankruptcy to the Billion-Dollar Sky Zone Empire by Case Lawrence is now available on Amazon and at major booksellers. The book is published with Forbes Books, the exclusive business book publishing imprint of Forbes.
In 2011, Case Lawrence was out of options. His real estate venture had collapsed in the aftermath of the Great Recession, and bankruptcy loomed. With no income and a family of eight to support, he needed a lifeline. Then, on a spontaneous outing to a California trampoline park, an idea sparked—one that would eventually change the face of family entertainment.
Off the Ground is Lawrence’s unfiltered account of the unexpected rise of Sky Zone, the world’s largest trampoline park franchise. Part memoir, part manual, the book charts the unpredictable journey from side hustle to billion-dollar brand. But it’s not all highlight reels and high-flying success. Lawrence takes readers behind the scenes, showing how near-bankruptcies, legal hurdles, rapid growth, and a pandemic tested his leadership and ultimately shaped his vision.
