5 Basic Trampoline Tricks
1.Bouncing. This is a simple thing that you can do on a trampoline. Stand in the middle of the mat. Your feet must about a shoulder width apart. Bounce three times landing with your feet also in the same position. After the third bounce, kill the bounce by bending the knees upon landing. To ensure that you land in the middle, keep your eyes on the sides of the trampolines. Colored safety pads are a great help to asses your landing point. Practice this to perfect it before you try other tricks.
2.Bouncing and Landing on Your Knees and Seat. Once you’ve mastered bouncing and landing on your feet, you can try bouncing and landing on your knees or seat. You should be able to rise up again on your feet after landing on your knees or butt. In doing the seat drop you start by sitting in the middle of the mat. Your legs must be straight out in front of you. Take three bounces and on the third, pick up your feet and then land again on your seat with the legs straight out in front of you again. In doing the knee drop start by kneeling on the center of the mat. Your shoulders, hips and knees must be aligned, toes pointed and arms up. Stand up and make three bounces without the feet leaving the mat. On the third, take off and bend the knees and land on it.
3. Arm Action. Kneel on the center of the mat. Keep shoulders, hips and knees aligned. Lift your body up by lifting your arms strongly and you should bounce on your knees as if you are bouncing on your feet. Like in trick above, focus your eyes on the sides to make sure that you land in the center of the mat.
4. Hands and Knees Drops. When you are positioned on the mat on your hands and knees, there must be equal weights on all of them. The back should be parallel to the mat. Try little bounces first each time landing on all fours simultaneously. Now stand up and make three low bounces. On the third, lift up your hips and take your arms forward. Land simultaneously on all fours.
5. Back Landing. Stand in the center of the trampoline. Your arms should be at your sides. Fall backwards on the mat. Your body should be straight and your head up. When you hit the mat, let your head meet it naturally. Bounce up and fall backwards again.
