Hello, I'm getting into freestyle, and I heard that training in the summer helps a lot. So could you guys tell me what you do? (trampoline, workout, etc)Thanks
 
tramp for air practice if you want....lots of core workout,lower body (squats, etc) and some upper body to balance out ur body
 
I mountain bike and it's the same sort of balance. It definitely gives me endurance and a hell of an adrenaline rush. If you ride XC you get a hell of a workout.
 
Hey, I`m part of the staff at the Dave Murray Whistler Summer Ski Camp, and i`m also a former camper. Some of the best ways to get some summer training in is going off of water ramps or even some summer ski camps! Our park is pretty sick, and no, you`re not just riding on rocks and mud. Its all snow, and we even make a trip to the water ramp at whistler after riding. I uploaded a video showing the water ramp, if you wanna check that out. If you wanna know more, go to www.skiandsnowboard.com

 
Water ramps are sick, not sure if there are any in Cali, Park City is probably best, but expensive if you don't have a hook up. There are also ramps in CO, but still a long way from Cali. Water ramps are pretty good training, but tricks don't transfer directly, but definitely helps confidence in the air, also will improve your technique a lot, especially if you have a coach helping you. Besides that I agree with mtn biking, but the best, and I can't believe no one mentioned this, is diving boards. You have to have a pretty dope setup to do a dub cork on a tramp, but it's nothing off a high dive. In any case, all of the legit skiers I ride with are in stupid good shape, that's probably your best bet.
 
Camp of champions has a lot of large jumps, which isn`t so easy for beginners. At our camp, we get many beginners and intermediate skiers who are learning the same things as you.
