Yeah, but I don't find it helps :S it gives me more confidence and maybe no fear of heights but that is about it :S

yes, but over 30 years ago   at skewl   went on an adult tramp course a couple of years ago ( to help on stilts)  but i had to 'perfect' every basic trick. Now das OK and good. But have u met me?   Perfect  erm anything?   I was almost stopped from landing on my 1st bounce  )

I go twice a week at the moment.  Only basic stuff.  Can just about do front somies.

Not sure how it compares as I haven't done any of this on stilts yet. (Well...apart from just bounce)

I got some experience in the trampolining area not much but some.

like DC said it helps with confidence. Not much else

[Locky]

I have to disagree with most of you. Trampolining helps you with confidence and technique. These are the 2 main factors involved with bocking.

However I could land my backflips on stilts more confidently than I could on a trampoline but that's probably down to spending more time on stilts than on the tramp.

I think for jump control (balance) and flip technique, trampolines are very very ideal. People should never underestimate how important the balance is (cue the video of DC crashing into a pram )

  Where is this video? :L

Umm

I never went on a trampoline before bocking but bought one for the garden about a year after starting

It does help a lot with the ballance bit as Locky said it also helped me to stay in one place a bit better

I rode and jumped Horses for many years and it felt more natural to be moving forward when jumping which is a disadvantage if space is short

First time I went on a Big trampoline I managed to damage my ankle quite seriously (nearly 2 years and still not quite right) but that was me being over enthusiastic

Yes I seem to remember turning up early for that event....and you had already hurt yourself!

[Jason]

Yep Q

Time at meet 3hrs
Time on trampoline 3 mins
Time on bocks Zero
Time sitting with ice on ankle 2hrs 57 mins 

Not one of my better attempts

Agreed Q think the Stables followed by A&E was the worst so far

[Hammy]
