I have seen it... It's only suggested for someone that can spin really fast and jump super high.

I will be attempting them this weekend on the Water-Ramp at Lake Placid...

I saw a guy at camp working on double backs on the tramps. They were spinning really fast and were tucked up if that's any help. Only thing was they weren't opening at the right time.

I have done a few double backs and a few double fronts but have since stopped doing them. Its a rush the first few timse but they are pretty sketchy unless you get a ton of air. i scraped my head against the mat a few times and that was pretty scary. I've cracked my neck pretty bad a few times too. If you can get a ton of air go for it though.

I have done a few double fronts, and tried double lincolns.... I have landed the fronts, and came pretty close on the double lincoln a couple of times. they are really fast though, you need more air. like off a big air jump or something. yea.

On tramp. I can do flare to front, barani to back, double front, I tried to do double back tweo times and I wasn't able to stop my spin and landed on my back... the reason why I can do them is because iJump somethin like 13 feets in the air without anyone to helpm me to get more air on the tramp. I've got a sick picture of myself grabbing a huntony at the same height than the roof of a house

quebec, how do you get so much air? do you have one of those trampolines with the extra long springs that the gymnastic guys use?

I've seen people do them on the big tramps or gymnastics floors but never on a normal tramp.

I've crossed the springs, and if I try and work more than like 6/7 feet I just hit the ground in the middle.

'Who ordered the turkey club?' the waitress yelled across the small diner.
'I did!' The man excitedly replied.
Promptly, an over-excited turkey ran out from the back and beat the man to death with a large wooden bat.

I've seen gymnasts do triples and stuff on tramps. They're insane.

My friend once told me about this gymnastics video where the guy did a backflip with 8 spins in it.

That's nuts.
