Tramp to snow transition

This summer I spent a lot of time on a trampoline and learned a lot of new tricks. I have never taken trampoline tricks to snow before so I have no experience here. When taking a trick, like say a backflip for example, from tramp to snow how difficult is the transition. Like I know that floating out a laid out backflip on a trampoline is easy but with weight on your feet it is a little different. What do you guys do to be able to make the transition from trampoline to snow? What advice would you give?

Backflips and mistys transition very well. If you have solid backflips on a tramp, you'll probably land your first one on snow if the jump is kicky and you don't overthink it. Rodeos and flats are pretty different on snow, but if you spend some time doing backflips on snow and getting your inverted air sense in place, those will come fairly easily as well.

Once upon a time, I thought it would be beneficial to tramp with ankle weights to simulate ski boots and skis, but it just felt weird and wore me out quicker. Just learn the rotations, build some muscle memory and air awareness and don't overthink it.

for backflips and misty's have you found it helpful to be able to do them at any speed on a trampoline, weather you are floating them out or whipping them around fast?

That definitely doesn't hurt. That just means you have a good sense of air awareness so you can rotate how ever fast you need to.

I think the biggest thing is that it makes you comfortable in the air when going inverted. With stuff like backflips, the transition feels pretty natural.

if you have stuff good on tramps, find a nice poppy jump and just commit. you'll land it.

I'm a pussy about back tricks and I used to do backys on the tramp but then I just stopped and never did them again. So I just did like400 mistys and I really want to try them on snow soon but some people say front tricks are much harder especially on snow

Yes front tricks are a million times harder. I've only ever done 1 misty in my life, and Its cause they are really fucking awkward on snow. They're honestly not worth learning,

I think k it's my best bet besides front flips so I might just try them for the hell of it

curios about this
i have heard that cork sevs transition really well from tramp to snow and that cork 3s and 5s are much easier on snow then on a tramp
Is this true??

This is interesting seeing everyone's responses. I always wondered how other people found this - maybe it's just because i'm relatively inexperienced on a tramp, but I've always found it harder learning tricks on a tramp than on skis. I learned backs, fronts, flat 3, rodeo 5 and just starting cork 7 all on skis first. Trying to then take them to tramp and I sucked hard for a long time! I feel recently I'm getting there on a tramp, but always felt more comfortable on skis in the air than on a tramp.

I do definitely agree though that after spending last few months on a tramp will be very beneficial for skiing this season.
