Wanna get better at flips and rotational tricks but don't have access to trampoline, foam pit, and don't get enough snow 24/7 to really be able to send into the deep stuff. How do I work up to hitting big corks and other scary stuff without killing myself?

Maybe I should just kill myself.

I was in that situation back in the day and my only option was to buy my own trampoline because my parents wouldn’t get me one. If you live at an apartment or something and don’t have the space put one in, leave it at a friends house or in a discreet location you can access it at. I personally don’t really recommend water for beginners because ik for me I always feel forced to jump too far backwards and it fucks my rotation and it might cause you to have bad habits whereas a tramp you are forced to pop straight up. If water is ur only option than go for it tho

You dont need a trampoline to learn 4 way 1, 3, 5, 7. If you do these with safety, mute, japan thats 48 tricks. You dont need a trampoline to learn all four 2 on and all four 2 off, 4 way swaps. Thats 12 tricks before combos. Your first 100 tricks don’t all need to be inverts and corks.

Same boat as you. I feel comfortable doing spins but inverted stuff sketches me out.

There’s a tramp park nearby that I might try out

either make a booter while the snow is wet then wait for it to cool down and snow and shovel a good 2-3 feet on the landing or you could just wait till the last day and absolutely huck yourself.

Over the years I have learned every flip/ rotation I know on snow instead of figuring it out on trampolines. Just spot your landing and you will probably be fine

You don’t need tramps, foam pits, airbags…etc. Just wait for a warmer day when it’s soft and go for it. Lots of us just learned by trying it for real and I bet you could too.

Sorry, but not many people want to learn switch unnatural 7s before they learn flips
