WTF? 2 years ago i could do any trick on a tramp big and smooth. Now I do bad flairs when I try loops and fly off when i do corks. It's pissing me off. Anybody else lose tricks on a tramp?
oh yeah this is when I could actually jump on a tramp 2 years ago:

thats not even that high buddy^, but if u havnt practiced in a while, the best thing to do is start, and just work on the basics, like spinning good, and then just relearn shit

yeah do you cross them like this XXXXXX or like this VVVVVVVVVVV im confused on that. if you did it like this VVV i dont see how that would make you go higher cuz then your using half the amount of springs that you would normally use. doin it like this XXX would just stretch the springs out in the long run and fuck them up. i spray wd40 on my springs and keep the rust off and keep one of the back and forth sprinklers goin underneath it. keeps it wet and when its wet you go like at least 2 feet higher on average.

god damnit you all are fucking idiots how many times have we gone over this???You just cross your springs like XXXX hence the name cross the springs. If you were supposed to put them in a damn VVVV itd be called v'ing the springs or something. And no it doesnt ruin your springs at all i did it to mine 2 years ago and the springs are still fine. and liek someone else said if you arent strong enough to do it maybe go get your mom or sisters help pussy.

Ok, I got them crosses. It doesnt affect your height as much as it does your pop. It gives you a real good pop to initiate your rotation. I only go about 1 foot higher or so, but now I can easily cork 12, before I could just cork 9. No you dont lose control, and no it doesnt ruin your springs...its really worth it.

just wet it down it works the best and is the easiest to do.

yeah, you really have to watch out for what phrosty said. And pop and control are really important. But I dont have to worry bout this shit cuz I just go to a tramping club where they have gymnast tramps.

it stretches the springs more. If you would like the scientific explanation: the amount a spring stretches in a direction proportion to the mass exerted on the spring multiplied by the spring constant, and this relationship is exponential. haha, that was gay, but seriously, in short, the more you stretch the springs, the force goes up exponentially, so feasibly if you maxed out their distance you could jump a good 20' off the mat :D and yeah, I am physics and technology major :P

Yeah fronts are easy enough but backs just get a bit freaky for some reason.

Use the tramp predominantly for wakeboarding tricks (more water here in Australia than snow!). I know you can get special wakeboards to practice on tramps with, is there anything similar with skis?

Wet your tramp if you have a sandy vagina...otherwise, cross your springs. It adds 2-4 feet of extra air depending on how cool you are. It's pretty tough to do, but I just got one of my strong friends to do it for me, since I couldnt do it for shit.
