Trampoline to practice ski tricks

Honestly I got a tramp to practice ski tricks, and I regret it. I don't think it helps with learning new inverts at all, they feel so different on skis. The only good thing is that you can build air awareness, but it really isn't worth the money

I disagree I've been using my trampoline for ever and I found it helped me hugely with learning flips mainly because if I can do a particular flip on a trampoline I feel a lot more confident trying it on skis and also doing it on a trampoline gives me a rough idea of what it's like on skis.

Even if you don't find the trampoline helpful for skiing it still is a shit ton of fun so I think it's worth the investment.

I can't remember the name and my trampoline (it's dark at the moment so I can't go and look) but it's pretty decent. I'd say stick to traditional springs instead of the spring free design trampolines because they're more expensive and don't bounce as nice also don't bother with safety nets and that shit because the likelihood of you falling off a trampoline pretty low, most of the time when you hurt yourself on a trampoline it's because you land funny on the mat.

Make sure you buy a decent trampoline though don't be a cheap ass and buy a trash one, a good one will last longer and be more bouncy so you can actually try big tricks on it.
 
Kangaroo tramps are crazy bouncy if you want to hit the upper atmosphere. Expensive though, you may have to sell a kidney to get one.

Nets make it feel safer, though, so if you are afraid to try something than they're nice.
 
I use a trampoline for learning new tricks before taking it to the snow, they are a great way to learn difficult rotations in a safe environment before trying them to snow. I dont have a great trampoline, just a shitty 14 ft garden tramp. But it does the job and i'm able to do almost everything on it, iv'e done doubles and bigger tricks as well, just saying, you don't necessarily need a flash tramp to learn tricks.

don't know the brand, but its nothing special. I just think its handy to have something to nail your rotations before you take it to the snow.

I disagree

When you're trying new tricks (especially unnaturals) there is a tendency to travel (land in a different spot than you took off) especially if you dont tramp often

Yup nets are good. I would've gone off mine many times if I didn't have a net
