i think that just for the feel of the rotation you should knoww how to do it on tramps before you do it on snow

did my first flips on skis long before i ever did them on a tramp.
doing them on a tramp certainly helps your air awareness, but it isn't anywhere near a prerequisite to do them on skis.

you have to huck it so much more on skis obviously

my bro went for his first backflip on skis last season thinking it would be similair to our trampoline. ended up getting about half way around. you can figure out the rest

well if you have tried on a good trampoline and you were not able to do a backflip then you may have some trouble doing them on skis

im the opposite. i feel really conforatable on tramps. i can land cork 9, misty 5s, rodeo 5, back1s, backs with any grabs you can think of on a tramp /claim/. i can almost land double misty ish things and double fronts, and am also working on doube backs on the tramp too /claim/. but the most i can do on skis is 3s and not even backflips, so ya. depends o who you are. im going to be able to do alot more on skis by the end of this year.... i hope.

thats funny why not do one one a tramp if you land on your your head your probably going to be fine (i know this from experience) but if you land on your head on the snow your fucked.
