Alright so I was just wondering all the different ways the people of NS practice doing inverts at home so they're ready when it's time to bring it to the slopes

Trampoline might help if you can afford it.

Or better then a home trampoline, a full tramp park... Public pools or lakes/deep, calm rivers with a decent place to dive from work pretty good.

Well my sequence was get real comfortable with the flip on a trampoline, try it on an airbag at the mountain if possible, make a good size kicker into a huge pile of powder and do whatever you can to get yourself to do it. My trick is peer pressure, inspirational music, and beer.

Yeah there's a nice cliff to jump off like 20 minutes from my house but I'm a bit sketched to throw anything off it

Hike down to where the river/lake/ whatever is below the cliff and see how deep it is. If it's deep enough then try just jumping in straight and go from there. A helmet might also not be a bad idea if head/cliff clearance is tight.

It's a pretty well known spot where I live and I've jumped off it before. I'm just sketched out on doing anything but jumping straight

Personally, I like to throw gainers out of my second story windows.

Trouble is, I break your legs everytime I do it, so I only get invert practice every 8 weeks more or less.

Me and my friends bury an exercise ball in the sand; the thing fucking launches you. Currently working up the balls to do a double.

Right now might actually be a good time to buy one. No ones buying tramps in the middle of winter and they're probably cheap as fuck(relatively). Get one now and set it up later.
