How many of you find that trampolines help you with skiing?

Personally I feel they help a ton. You get used to being upside down and don't flop when you start taking inverted tricks to the airbag like so many kids do. God bless my neighbors for buying a trampoline and never being home to tell me to get off.

Trampolines are great. It has helped me progress so much and they help even more if they are combined with a foam pit. I actually have a pair of ski blades wrapped in foam to help me get the feel of landings. Good luck.

For a lot of people, myself included, trampolines are definitely helpful for developing air sense. Yet some people decide to throw tricks on skis that they haven't yet done on the tramp and it works for them. Doing stuff on tramp feels pretty dissimilar to do doing the actual thing on snow but it's better than nothing.

Tramps help, balls help more.

I feel like I go for things way more on snow... Probably because I've gotten pretty fucked up on trampolines and now I'm really sketched out. I find airbags to be way more helpful, but simple stuff on tramps helps for skiing.

Yes a ton, I would never throw a flip if I can't do them on a tramp

My parents sold my trampoline when I was 12 because I bounced all the way over the 8-foot safety net. Major hops, son.

I never realized how much trampolines helped until I went to an airbag and my friend was trying lincoln loops he couldn't get them because he could barely do one on tramp. Meanwhile i could do lincolns on tramp and I landed mine first try. Trampolines really do help tho

I like trampolines but I am starting to think I have glass ankles.

I fractured my fibula two summers ago and tore a tendon this past summer ... both on the MHSSC trampoline
