On the tramp doing flat 5s and cork 7s and 9s.  is it somewhat similar on skis, the take off and how it feels while your corked in the air?

Tramps definitely help most pro skiers like Bobby Brown, Russ Henshaw, Gus Kenworthy,etc. usually work on tricks on the tramps before they take it to snow.

just jumping, flipping, and spinning on a tramp will help out for sure. I think it helps a lot more if you really try to imagine you're taking off of a jump every time you throw a trick. think about jumping off the outside edges of your feet..........anything like that which will relate to skiing.
