Trampoline Problems

Yo Ns. I used to be able to throw Cork 9's, 7's, 5's and Rodeo 5's on the tramp pretty easily. Now all of the sudden over the last few weeks I can't do shit. I can't jump straight up and down for some reason. I always fly off the tramp. These pictures show what happens pretty well.

Obviously the dot in the middle is before I throw it. The other dot is where I usually land (on the mat).

Any help would be good

try to jump straight up before u set the trick, so your not leaning in one direction or another while ur about to take off. This will be easier if you get a lot of height and can float and control your flip, so you dont need to huck on the takeoff, which can throw you in different directions

get a really big fan and position it so it will blow you back onto the tramp.

pick an object in front of you and stare at it, try your best to keep looking forward unless you need to look at the tramp occasionally, wind up, while mantaining you balance in the same position prior to winding up, throw the trick and look for the object you were staring at when you land. finish off with some nice heavy head and you should be set

Can we get a trampoline section so SG stops getting spammed with questions like this?

This is SKI gabber, not trampoline talk. I hope you figure out how to jump on your trampoline, but I am sick and tired of stupid trampoline threads.

Jump straight up man, STRAIGHT UP and try to land in the same spot. Just practice jumping in the middle for a while until you get comfortable enough, and when you throw your trick, spot your landing.

If you drift at all it means that your feet are moving in the direction you're throwing your shoulders. I think the best way is to try backflipping and landing in one area, then gradually try new rotations. That's pretty much how I learned.

Just get comfortable in the air, then you won't be worried about falling off the trampoline. Hope that helps

This means you're not jumping, then throwing. Accept it, and solve it.

I do the exact same thing as you, particularly with straight frontflips, and I learned that if I try to learn back a little bit when I get ready to huck, then it keeps me straight up instead of leaning into my trick, which makes me go all over the place. Scary at first because it feels so floaty, but it'll really sort you out.

yeah i found with flips with more spins like rodeo 5,7 and 9 that your spinning so much u go everywhere on the tramp, i solved my problem by doing super floaty flat 3s cuz u can bounce then set your flip

duct tape in the middle, spot it while you trick.
