Trampoline Progression and Tutorials

I grew up with a trampoline and was a diver in school, there’s a lot of carryover as far as getting the most out of the springs/board in a controlled balanced way. If you can’t find a tutorial on trampoline stuff specifically try to look for a springboard diving tutorial. The hurdle (that skip-jump on the end of the board) has to be done so you are balanced and consistent every time you take off, which is the same on a trampoline. Super tramps really require this and work great to build that, which makes your pop off jumps more balanced and predictable too.

Once you have that dialed throwing tricks gets a lot easier because you can generate so much more airtime in a controlled predictable way. Then every trick breaks down to a combination of throw, tuck, spot landing, land. Isolate each component of each trick to get it to get the sequence right, and have someone throw down a crash pad when trying a something big you’re not familiar with so you don’t land badly and boing yourself into a wall

Man I wish I still had access to a proper trampoline or diving board. Sounds like you’re in for a fun summer

I don't have access to a tramp, but i have access to water. any point in trying to do flips and shit into a pool/ocean to help with air awareness?

deadhead420What up summer NS. This year my summer goal is to develop my air awareness, really had the realization this season that my skiing ability is so far above my air awareness. I’ve been stuck on the same jump tricks for a couple years. But this summer I have an opportunity to hit the super tramp on a weekly basis so it’s time to start studying up.

What’s the best tutorials and info you’ve found for progressing on tramp? Doesn’t have to be ski focused, really trying to develop a broad air awareness. I’ve watched ski addiction and stomp it but that’s about it.

Any other general advice other than starting to cliff jump would be appreciated!

Good shout, I've always watched bruce oldham with a lens of irony but he is a legit asf instructor.

What's helped me the most is to get advice from people who are better than me and watch clips of myself to see where I'm going wrong. I think it's like skiing where ideally you get to the point where you can kinda coach yourself. Like you can learn to identify the mistakes you're making and learn how to correct them. Never really benefited that much from tutorials myself

i took trampoline classes as a kid, the warm ups we did were for aerials, but really focused on bailing safely/air awareness more than anything else. it was basically

hop to each corner of the tramp with control
180 both ways
360 both ways
keep upping by 180 until you can’t (id usually get to right 7s and then stop)

1/4 backflip to your back, bounce to feet
3/4 front flip to your back, to feet
1/4 front flip to stomach, to feet
3/4 backflip to your stomach, to feet (this one is scary but super fun once you learn it)
backflip
frontflip
Lincoln loops both ways

then start throwing whatever. since you warmed up by landing on your side, in awkward positions, etc, you’re a lot less likely to hurt yourself / already have that base awareness you’ll want when throwing new tricks

These right here is great advice. done a couple of those on backyard tramp but have always been really scared to do that kind of stuff on super tramp. But it's a great idea to learn that stuff safely. the 3/4 backflip to stomach especially is gonna be great practice for when I under rotate dub cork 10. Dub 10 is kinda my final goal rn

do lots of stretching and flexing as a pre tramp warm up. once ur on the tramp spin all 4 ways up to 540 and practice some basic backflips, fronties, lincolns, etc. From there, you should just really focus on different tricks and axis and progressions. happy tramping :)

I found that spins translated to snow way better than flips or corks. I think it’s bcs there’s no forward momentum, just up n down. Could just be me tho, my spin game went up, n flips stayed the same

I’m curious how did you learn corks and new axis without trampoline? My spin game is strong I got both way 7s with grabs but my flip game is lacking. All I got is backflip, a good cork 3 and a mid cork 5. No other axis at the moment

You definitely gotta get on a tramp at some point to learn new spins. But I meant learning a perfect cork seven didn’t translate to snow as well as upright spins did for me personally.

this ! Jumping of diving boards and actually "bouncing" on it instead of the classic run up, jump once and off... helped so much for me ! I had no garden or friends with a tramp so this was the best way back then. Super nice. :) Anything that is airborne related will help you.
