is there a big gap between doing tricks on tramps and diving boards, to skis and snow? i have a couple tricks down on tramps that i want to move to skis this year, and i was wondering if its a good idea to try them on snow without getting help like water ramps or something. thoughts?




sorry if its a repost i search barred and everything before

yes. its very different. there are lots of tricks on a tramp that i can do. but can only do like a 1/5 of them on snow. but its stil good to practice on a tramp because at least you're still getting the basic feel.

i would say its a good wya to get comfortable and learn how to throw a specific trick but it all comes down to just sacking up and throwing it and ajusting from there to learn the trick

i think it mostly helps learn to visualize my tricks more. learn the basic motions and techniques. But what it really comes down to is trying them on snow and learning from there.

The tramp helps you learn what a trick feels like and where you are in the air.  It is definitely different with skis on though, and the way jumps can kick you.  If you get powder where you live, build a jump into lots of pow and try all the tricks you want, that's what I do.  I don't have a tramp.

Trampolines help you get the basics. Backflips, frontflips, lincols, and mistys are pretty similar from trampoline to snow. And when you've got those basics down on snow, chances are good that your air sense and comfortability on skis will be good enough that you'll figure out the transition from tramp to snow pretty quickly for more complex rotations. When you have the basics down, it'll be easier than you think to start throwing more difficult tricks.

Try taping weights to your feet or something to get used to the weight? I dont know it might work
