I wanna try some off axis stuff cuz its pretty slushy and wont hurt that bad but im not sure if i should continue to practice on tramp or just bring it to snow, i can rodeo 100% on tramps but i cant figure out how to cork, just doesnt feel natural. Anyone have any suggestions?

Bring it to snow. You're not going to get the full effect of what the rotation will feel like on a trampoline because it only launches you vertically and you don't have 30lbs of skis and boots on your legs.

Make sure you know how to fall well and also make sure you're not afraid to fall.

i was also thinking of adding weight to my feet on the tramp just to practice, might try this weekend. Should i go big or try it off like a 10-15 footer to prevent actual injury

For rodeos: learn lincoln loops first then turn those in to rodeos. For corks: just look back at the lip of the jump when you start spinning. I would recomend warming up with a couple 7s and maybe some 9s then just send it. My first cork was a 7 as it felt more natural than a 5 but do which ever feels more comfortable.

double post.
btw... you turn those lincoln loops in to rodeos by throwing in an extra 180 at the end. It will look and feel kind of awkward at first but eventually they'll start getting a lot more flowy.

hahah i can barely 3 but I can 5 and shit on a snowboard so im comfortable in the air, I have lincoln loops down on tramp and ive tried rodeos just running and jumping onto mats so I feel like the worst that would happen is i would just land on my side or something. Also rodeos feel more natural to me than loops just cuz i can throw them a lot faster
