just warning people that use trampolines. they rule, but don't think you're invincible. i've had mine for 3 years and i was trying to figure out
d-spins and ended up landing straight on my head. that was a month and a half ago. it hasn't healed right yet so i went back. they checked the x-rays again and i have a fractured vertebrate. i might not be able to ski this season. :( keep jumping but just know you can really mess things up. payce!

I wasnt crazy enough to try tricks bigger than back flips withourt proper instruction, and thats exactly why. Ive still landed on my head tho. Few times i thought i was dead for sure when i felt my head hit the bed, but im ok. But a lesson for everyone learning to do tricks on tramp is to, even if u think u know what ur doing, get help from someone who can do the trick u want to do. Itll help u a lot in the long run.

that's really shitty...trampolines definitly aren't safe, i've had lots of close calls...i hope you get to ski a bit this year man...hang in there.

Don't think just jump.

ya there evil. I can throw rodeos and d-spins and everything on em. BUT, tried a switch misty nine bout a month ago. Over rotated it and smacked my face right into the metal poles. Man that hurt so freakin' bad. Been sticking to diving boards since then. I didn't think it was possible to over rotate a switch misty 9 cuz its so much rotation. but some how I did and I broke myself...

how do you do a switch trick, cause on a tramp there isn't any like downhill or skiis... would it jsut be facing the opposite of where you used to be
