does anyone else find this is like really fun and helps alot to learn crzy shit? I noticed all the pros and real good people only really train on tramps and waterramps and thats cool but im terrible at tramp and i dont have access to a waterramp unless im at camp. like at the end of last ski season i was ok like i cud rodeo 7 and do some kinda switch flatspin thing but since ive been hitting some cliffspots leter i learned dub front and dub mistys and some kinda weird corkish thing. I feel like its a way safer way to learn on divingboard than tramp to evar since goblin and a few others got hurt bad on them and divingboards have no consequense. Anyone else feel this?

Same, I have easy access to a diving board and I feel way safer to huck stuff on in than a trampoline.

if you land up side down on a trampoline you can break your neck... if you land upside down off a diving board you nothing happens..

Once you learn a trick in the pool, the progression is to take it to the tramp.

Water has less consequence, which is good. The tramp will help you iron out the landing.

I love diving boards. My grandparents have a real nice one and I've been landing a lot of new tricks. Last summer i was just going for dubs but now I'm branching out to steezier stuff....switch cork 3s, unnatch rodeo 7s, sw cork 9s, unnatch sw rodeo 5s...that sorta thing.

dude I think if you have access to a legitimate spring board, do it, its so fun and it helps so much I think. However, screw residential boards and such.
