What do you think would be better for muscle memory and getting comfortable in the air while skiing, practicing diving or gymnastics while at home?

 
diving for real. my gf does and shes pretty tight. i went to one of her summer practice things and got to mess around on the boards they are sooooo sick

diving. More hangtime, big drops.

But gymnastics builds crazy muscles, watch the olympics. Great body for skiing, lots of core muscle.

 
both in different ways-

gymnastics- endurance andgoing inverted over small stuff

diving- big airs

dude tramping is basicly skiing, if u can do a trick on a tramp and land on your feet you can do a trick on skis and land on your feet, given the proper amount of air sence and air time

gymanstics and tramp are wya betetr because you actualyl land, first of all its more satisfying and second you learn hwo to land.

gymnastics beacuase you dont land on your head so itll get you used to stomping the shit outta things

diving cause its like 10x as fun and you dont have to be crazy strong and flexible to do it. plus you can mess around on the board all the time and do double mistys and corks

i think both are really great but i think diving helps more cause its focused solely on the things you do in skiing and if you scwe up, doing a belly from hurts like a bitch but its nothig compared toasnapping your neck in two and being parylized from the wast down, but the trampolines not that bad either

live freeskiing or die trying and always obey the skiers responsibilitie code

diving board gives u more air time, but tramp is better cuz u have to land it

^^Word. Start out on the board, then perfect in the gym or on the tramp. I learned how to do Lincolns flips and corks on the board, but I don't have a tramp for really good practice, so I'm still kind of scared of all three.

alot of divers are gymnasts that got injured and couldn't do gymnastics at the same level any more. Think about it. Gymnastics would be more helpful.

well considering when you dive, you go head first it probably wouldn't be too helpful. but yeah i do gymnastics competitively and doing flips and everything are like second nature to me

bahaha, you can land in diving. I can do backflips, mistys, and 540's on the board and land back on it again with my feet

your a idiot, the sport of diving involves like triple back pike to swan dive or what ever, everyone knows u can jump off a diving board and do tricks but thats not 'diving'

simple process... check your local yellowpages and look for a gymnastics or cheerleading gym. call them and ask them if they have an open night, ours is on friday nights for about 3 hrs. then go down there and look in amazement bc more than likely they will have an olympic style trampoline that has about a 2-3 ft gap into either a foam pit or a soft mat. it is perfect for skiing bc it gets you used to pulling your tricks while convering some distance.

 
my sis is in gymnastics and they get to flip off a tramp into a bin of foam blocks really sick

like dashboard said, trampoline to foam pit. tuesday nights have never been so fun

sometimes when im running water to wash dishes or something, i think about how lucky i am to have such simple access to running water and how some people will never know such a simple pleasure.

then i let it run for awhile, just because i can.

 
trampoline and gymnastics. look at dumont and wilson.

AND basically every aerials skier used to be a gymast.

so obviously it helps with air sense and rotating properly.

 
gymnastics feet down are better helping with skiing, think about it, divers dont have to worry shit about balance or sticking landings just going into the water, gymanists have to stick the landing perfectly and need so much balance skills to do so, skiing you must be well balanced on your feet.

Believing in jesus is like believing in santa claus, once you reach a certain age you realize that it's all made up
 
guys trampoline and gymnastics are better for landing and make you stronger. while diving is better for big stuff and there is less risk involved.

i dont think anyone has said that yet.

 
while i can see how these things would help, the gay factor is way to high for me. down hill mountain bike, moto cross and skate boarding all help me keep my fear in check during the summer. Cliff jumping is rad cause when its hot out, theres nothing better. and a little yoga to stay loose. and if you;re about to make fun of yoga, you obviously have no idea where it comes in handy.

 
yoga helps a ton, especially with balance, flexibility some too
