nekobi 0 Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 i was fighting a hangover on sunday so i went to chill out in yoyogi park. there was a group of people taking turns strapping on a snowboard and practices holds and spins on a trampoline. it looked like fun. anyone done it? does it help when you do it for real off a kicker?

IM 0 Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 Yes, it does help a lot! For skiers, you can use the snow blade and wrap them with a tape and get a feel of balance in the air. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 The little 9-year old tyke Gurimu-kun who signed a deal recently with Head and is a pipe-champ has a trampoline on the roof of his condo in Osaka. Even without a board strapped on, it's surely good practice for spins and balance in the air. Link to post Share on other sites
barok 0 Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 Yeah, it helps. Even if you don't have anything strapped to your feet. It is all about visualizing a trick or a jump or whatever. And then simulating that mental process as quickly, safely and effectively as possible. Those freestyle skiers train almost exclusively on trampolines in the summer, or so I hear, lots of pro snowboarders do as well. My folks have a trampoline at their house, and I had alot of fun recently trying various flips and spins on it. I was able to put into practice alot of the body mechanics that I had only previously visualized, and it felt great. I think if I practiced on a tramp every day, all of those freestyle tricks would get a whole lot easier. Link to post Share on other sites
alferg 0 Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 The tramp I was practicing on yesterday got a bit annoyed when I did a 360 & spilt his bottle of metho..... boom-tish! Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 Just make sure your using crap equipment. Could easily snap your gear. A while back a friend broke his snowboard doing tramp stuff in high school. Of course high school students arn't known for being all that bright. Link to post Share on other sites

mattlucas 0 Posted November 21, 2003 Share Posted November 21, 2003 I know I know. I would have put some sarcasm faces up but my computer is being slow and they arn't showing up. All in good fun. Link to post Share on other sites
dizzy 0 Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 i found a place in saitama that has tampolines to practice on. one tramp is 4 socks only, and the other is 4 skis/snowboards/mini boards (that U can practice with just gym shoes-boots). trampolining helps 2 visualize Ur jumps...i strapped in a board and was out of breath in three minutes. they've got a branch in osaka. this one has two smaller tramps, and one big one. both places are quite a hike from the stations, but still pretty fun. i heard there was a third branch somewhere else...
