Should I take these to snow?

I was deciding whether or not to take flat 3s and cork 7s to snow this weekend. There is a jump I am comfortable doing backflips off of, it's about 30 feet. Here are some videos of me on the trampoline. Please let me know if I am doing them alright, or any tips. I'll take a video if I try them.

definitely the flat 3, they are so similar to backflips so you should be set

go for it dude! it sounds like a good size jump to learn on and if you have confidence you will probably surprise yourself and put them to your feet pretty quick. good luck!!!

If you are talking about the north park jump, then I have bad news. They closed it down for the season. But definitely try to put them to snow.

Yeah luckily the alley will still be open and it's gonna be cold, so speed shouldn't be an issue

I've heard flat 3's are super mellow. a lot of skiers i know learn them before they learn backflips, just because you can see the landing so much sooner than on a backie

get your flat 3 more compact on the tramp. pull your knees up towards your chest and try grabbing safety or japan. they will come around much easier on snow if u are more stable and organized ? in the air

adding on to that after watching it again dont lay it out as much and keep your feet under you not behind

To do the flat 3 just do a back flip and a japan grab it should come around and the more comfortable with it you are the flater you can go, and eventually you can do a Lincoln as well.
