Yup it helps, diving boards help too cuz you can get the forward momentum feeling goin on.

The only difference between the tramp and skiing is that you don't have skis on when your on the tramp and when your skiing, your moving forward when jumping.

That is really the only difference. If I didn't have the tramp, I would have no idea how to accomplish some tricks.

a good trick is to jump in your ski boots. It adds alot of weight and is more like real skiing.

The ones at wal-mart are good enough. They are standard size (12 or 14 ft) and are big enough for what you want to do.

ya, a 12ft trampoline is good enough. to prevent yourself from flying off the tramp just pop before you start your trick. if you have a trampoline place with rectangle trampolines by you, you should go there and use them, they rule.

crossing the springs makes your trampoline a ton more bouncy. A TON. go do it right now.

I heard that you shouldn't get the walmart ones from a ton of people, cause the spring are like elastic.

oh man, me and my bros want one but my mom thinks they're dangerous or somethin like that.... i dunno where she got that idea from.... and a year ago i made her sign a note that if i or any of my brothers ever get sponsered then we get a trampoline no matter what........ so basically i don't think i'll be getting one any time soon. Peace.

Funny how massive corporations and media giants like NBC refuse to support new skiing events like big air and big mountian, yet they use the latter's image to enhance their own. Actually, not so funny. Suck it, NBC.

people care so much about sponsorships these days... if you don't have sponsors it's not the end of the world. on that note - NS.com rules.

at my friends house we got the best tramp set up ever. it is a huge rectangle tramp and right next to it is a hex tramp so we jump off of the rectangular one to get that forward motion going and have the other tramp as a huge landing pad. I think if we ever had a tramp contest it would be cool, i would suck but i think my 2 friends are better than everyone. cork 14's and crazy crap like that.

Has anyone hurt themselves on the tramp? I loved working on it over the summer but i fucked my knee up bad. I just hit the tramp after a big bounce and instead of bouncing back up my leg buckled and my knee absorbed the entire bounce back and i just crumpled onto the tramp. Know anytime i land backseat or try to sit on my tails for speed my knee kills. I really wana work on alota stuff on the tramp over the summer but im worried about just fuckin my knee up again so i may just stick to the diving board.
