What is you guys experience with taking tricks you learned on the tramp to skis?? this is the first year I've had a tramp and I've learned a shitload of stuff. Im hoping ill be able to take some of those tricks to the hill, but i was wondering what the differences/difficulty you guys had were?

You think that if you can do it on the tramp, you can do it on the snow, or at least I thought so. This isn't the case, however it doesn't hurt. I learned linkon loops and back flips on the tramp, which were easy to bring to snow because they are basic. things like cork spins 5,7,9/d-spins took a lot more. I could do those on the tramp for ever, but it took me almost a whole season to build up the stones to throw it. Once you do, you realize its not that different. The one thing that is really good is that the tramp builds a crazy good air sence. This helps to spot the landing and know where you are at all times. It also helps if you mess up, you can save yourself rather than just flailing ans still landing on your head. So the vertict that i come to is that the tramp, although it doesn't ensure you learn the stuff on snow, will deff help and make you more comfortable overall.

The only thing i noticed is that you have to be comfortable going at high speeds doing the trick. thats the only difference.

if u can land it on a tramp 100% of the time, then u have the motion, it is all about balls and being able to throw down on snow

yea, theyre exactly the same, its all balls, except that if u learned shitty habits on the tramp like looking down at the ground the whole time and bring those to snow your going to kill yorself

My big goal for this year is to try a backflip or flair in the halfpipe. I can do them no problem on the tramp, I even wore my goggles so that I get the feel of limited vision. But it doesn't make a huge difference.

it all depends on you, as long as your not a pussy then you can easley transfer the tricks.

That's cool.....hopefully it will work out well, i feel like the only thing that will be difficult is throwing the same motions in ski boots, its alot stiffer than bare feet....Thanks guys

word^^^^^ just cuz you can do it on a tramp doesn't mean it is that easy on the snow. sure the tricks will be close, but you're moving forward the whole time and you got weight on your feet, some tricks like backs and lincoln loops are basically the same tho
