Hi everyone

I knocked some bits of bone off my L4 vertebrae last year being stupid in a snow-park

this has knocked my confidence a bit.

OK I want to go out and do a back sommersault straight off but I'm worried (I can do them) and I've been a bit ropy lately on the trampoline with loads of travel back from the cross in the centre......I still land on my feet so do you think I need to practice going cross to cross on the tramp before i try it on snow again or does this travel not make much difference seeing as you are moving anyway? this is given that some of the tramp vids (most) just show people hucking it way off the cross....anyway, any suggestions and encouragment appreciated





Bawb, I can trace this wanting for abuse back to your childhood i see it all the time. See growing up you had two dads, whereas everyone else you knew had a dad and a mom. This put you in the 'outsider' catagory right off the bat. Some of your earliet memories were bad sounds coming from your parents bedroom. The crack of leather whips and chains echoed through the hall of your mobile home. One day when you braved the nerve to open the door to this room of horror. You opend the door and saw both of you your dads with their mustaches where they didn't belong. Since that moment in your life you have craved abuse, someone that could beat those memories out of your little head. - Dr Von ReefSideRider

Make sure you are completely off the tramp before you throw your head back and flip because your feet maybe touching the surface while you start the flip and end up pushing you back a little. You will know when you are ready for them on snow. Also, try it on a powder jump first if you have access

Hey, after you take a crap and wipe your butt and then go to wash your hands, do you guys turn on the faucet with your wipe hand or the other one?
