When training for the upcoming season, do trampolines really help that much to train for aerials?

this is like 100x repost. I am getting tired of all these threads. Just f'ing think about it. Not very complicated, flips on tramp are same thing as skis minus swing weight and gear weight....

I think so, they help you get the rotation dialed on your tricks (consistently) and help you feel comfortable with them.

But throwing tricks on skis is pretty different in general.

I'll answer this, despite it being a repost. Training on a tramp teaches you air awareness. The more comfortable throwing tricks on a tramp and the more tricks on tramp you learn, the more comfortable you will feel in the air on skis. It's also important to remember to push yourself on tramp beyond what you think you could take to snow. You might not ever be able to dub on snow, but learning dubs on tramp teach you how to control yourself in the air and how to tell where you are in the air in relation to the ground, etc. So yeah, learn a bunch of gnarly shit on the tramp, because it definitely wont hurt your jump game.
