I can underflip, Lincoln loop, rodeo, barani , d spin 1080 and backflip 540 on the tramp and was wondering how to bring these to my skis. Any advice would be helpful . Thanks!

Start by taking them to an Air Bag and go from there. The less technical ones you can just take to snow. Lincoln Loops for example have a very low consequence of failure as its virtually impossible not to take them to your feet. Worse case scenario is you land off balance and fall down.
Is a backflip 540 the same thing as a backflip 180 or flair?

Just... do them? Go out on a nice pow day and build a jump. Or if you're man enough do it on a medium sized park jump you are comfortable on.

The biggest misconception I routinely see on NS is that everyone has access to "pow days." Lot of places in the northeast get virtually no fresh pow. It's all man made and icy so you gotta be a lot more careful when it comes to hucking new tricks.

Too true, the same thing goes for airbags though. Just master that shit on the tramp and when the time comes to throw it on snow, commit fully.

Airbags really helped me. I mean you gotta adjust to all the weight you carry around while skiing (clothes, boots, skis,...). It was quite surprising for me how that all affected me while jumping. You can try putting some weight on your feet on the tramp, that might help to get the feeling.

^ hmm that just made me think of an idea. Has anyone tried strapping 10-15 lb. ankle weights on each ankle to simulate the added weight of boots and skis? Seems like it could help bridge the gap better between tramp and snow.

I know you're excited about this site, but this is your 11th THREAD IN ONE MONTH, most of which are completely useless. And please, learn how to use the searchbar. Goddamn

Just picture it and throw it off a jump. By the way, it is completely different. I can't think of a single trick that is thrown the same way on a trampoline and jump, the variables are all different. It's more about air awareness. I can throw myself basically any way off a jump and will come around to me feet whether I land it or not.

No sorry I meant like it's a full plus a 180 so it's actually 900 rotation

and to bring these to snow, fuck the airbag man it completely unnecessary, just find the perfect slightly kicky small jump on a soft snow day. first thing u wana try is lincoln, practically zero consequence worst thing that can hapen is you land on your side, no big d.. just remember to pop up before to the side the first time you stomp 1, youl b down to try everything else cuz youl have a crazy confidence boost, rodeo lincoln cork misty front back, do em all in the same day

Practice doing your tricks while going forward on the tramp, and when you got those down, take them to some pow, or an airbag for landing. This works for me.

This. I started hucking everything forward and it translates so well to snow.

some tricks are pretty much exactly the same and others a little different. wackflip japans (flat 3s) and backflips are close to exactly the same. rodeos feel a little different in the air but are essentially done the same way. underflips are pretty similar, but you have to control them and commit to a nice slow rotation or you will over-rotate it bad. corks, at least for me, are way different. on snow i try to make them much less flippy. honestly i just carve in and grab leading blunt or regular blunt and just let it wobble a little, when i try to go in straight and set it like i do on the trampoline its gone really bad every time, but thats just me for some people it works out fine.

yeah!!! .. or just dont be a pussy. just start out on smaller jumps on a soft day, and if you cant get close enough to landing on your feet, you probably shouldnt be doing flips on skis.

Umm I already do flips on skis. It's fairly logical to assume weighted ankles are more similar to skis/boots than not.

Yes. When I was 13 I made tramp skis and tramp poles. I also strapped ankle weights to my feet. I bounced like this so much, that I had no control if I was normally bouncing.
All times are Eastern (-4); Currently it's 2:58AM
