I was just wondering if I should do it in powder, what sized jump I should hit, and if it is simular to doing it on a tramp or slackline.Thanks.

Only difference from trampoline is kick one of your legs up behind you to help get a faster rotation. Kick up when your coming off the lip not too early.

I tried my first over some hips and knuckles. It was pretty easy, just go for it...

its like doing it on a tramp but your feet are super heavy! just  chuck but maintain vision while in the tuck and you should be fine. anything between 15-30 foot is pretty comfortable to do it on.

I'd say find a nice kicky knoll or a step down for your first one.
