What do you think would be better for muscle memory and getting comfortable in the air while skiing, practicing diving or gymnastics while at home?

diving. More hangtime, big drops.

But gymnastics builds crazy muscles, watch the olympics. Great body for skiing, lots of core muscle.

I'd say gymnastics, because if anything you'll get in better shape and hang out with hot chicks

dude tramping is basicly skiing, if u can do a trick on a tramp and land on your feet you can do a trick on skis and land on your feet, given the proper amount of air sence and air time

diving cause its like 10x as fun and you dont have to be crazy strong and flexible to do it. plus you can mess around on the board all the time and do double mistys and corks

i think both are really great but i think diving helps more cause its focused solely on the things you do in skiing and if you scwe up, doing a belly from hurts like a bitch but its nothig compared toasnapping your neck in two and being parylized from the wast down, but the trampolines not that bad either

^^Word. Start out on the board, then perfect in the gym or on the tramp. I learned how to do Lincolns flips and corks on the board, but I don't have a tramp for really good practice, so I'm still kind of scared of all three.

alot of divers are gymnasts that got injured and couldn't do gymnastics at the same level any more. Think about it. Gymnastics would be more helpful.

trampolines are easily the best way to learn new tricks, and you can't get hurt as easy

well considering when you dive, you go head first it probably wouldn't be too helpful. but yeah i do gymnastics competitively and doing flips and everything are like second nature to me

bahaha, you can land in diving. I can do backflips, mistys, and 540's on the board and land back on it again with my feet

simple process... check your local yellowpages and look for a gymnastics or cheerleading gym. call them and ask them if they have an open night, ours is on friday nights for about 3 hrs. then go down there and look in amazement bc more than likely they will have an olympic style trampoline that has about a 2-3 ft gap into either a foam pit or a soft mat. it is perfect for skiing bc it gets you used to pulling your tricks while convering some distance.

sometimes when im running water to wash dishes or something, i think about how lucky i am to have such simple access to running water and how some people will never know such a simple pleasure.

then i let it run for awhile, just because i can.

trampoline and gymnastics. look at dumont and wilson.
AND basically every aerials skier used to be a gymast.
so obviously it helps with air sense and rotating properly.

gymnastics feet down are better helping with skiing, think about it, divers dont have to worry shit about balance or sticking landings just going into the water, gymanists have to stick the landing perfectly and need so much balance skills to do so, skiing you must be well balanced on your feet.

Trampoline in your back garden.

Water Ramp at your local dry slope.

Best summer training short of living in Tignes.

guys trampoline and gymnastics are better for landing and make you stronger. while diving is better for big stuff and there is less risk involved.

i dont think anyone has said that yet.

while i can see how these things would help, the gay factor is way to high for me. down hill mountain bike, moto cross and skate boarding all help me keep my fear in check during the summer. Cliff jumping is rad cause when its hot out, theres nothing better. and a little yoga to stay loose. and if you;re about to make fun of yoga, you obviously have no idea where it comes in handy.
