does anyone else find this is like really fun and helps alot to learn crzy shit? I noticed all the pros and real good people only really train on tramps and waterramps and thats cool but im terrible at tramp and i dont have access to a waterramp unless im at camp. like at the end of last ski season i was ok like i cud rodeo 7 and do some kinda switch flatspin thing but since ive been hitting some cliffspots leter i learned dub front and dub mistys and some kinda weird corkish thing. I feel like its a way safer way to learn on divingboard than tramp to evar since goblin and a few others got hurt bad on them and divingboards have no consequense. Anyone else feel this?
 
yeah it defiantly helps i got 4 doubles the other day and got like rodeo gaynor 10's. it gets the feeling down
 
if you land up side down on a trampoline you can break your neck... if you land upside down off a diving board you nothing happens..
 
actually i explained this wrong. haha i mean like a highdive like a diving block. not one of those springy board things i hate them
 
Once you learn a trick in the pool, the progression is to take it to the tramp.
Water has less consequence, which is good. The tramp will help you iron out the landing.
 
well i dove for about 13 years i mean it helped me get conferrable being upside but im actually going to make a diving board edit soon on my go pro.
 
I love diving boards. My grandparents have a real nice one and I've been landing a lot of new tricks. Last summer i was just going for dubs but now I'm branching out to steezier stuff....switch cork 3s, unnatch rodeo 7s, sw cork 9s, unnatch sw rodeo 5s...that sorta thing.
 
Here's an edit we made from an afternoon of jumping.

dude I think if you have access to a legitimate spring board, do it, its so fun and it helps so much I think. However, screw residential boards and such.
