What kind of things can a person do on a trampoline?

What can you do on a trampline has a very simple answer, if you have never been on a tramp DON'T TRY ANY FLIPS with a bit of practice you can learn a back flip or a front flip very quickly. On your first turn, you will want to learn what the trampoline can do.

What can be done on a trampoline is why I created this section. The following is a list of different trampoline moves from a seat drop to a full in rudi out. At the moment I will avoid triple flips. So avid trampolinists, you may not learn very much. The names of each move will be a discription of how to perform the move as well as the difficulty of the trick if applicable.

Very soon, this section will be complete with pictures to describe the tricks, and with luck some video to perform some of the tricks.
