Trampoline tricks

 Trampoline tricks

In lock down I've been learning super fun trampoline tricks like a back-flip,back-handspring and a back walkover. My favorite trick is a back-handspring, because you don't need to bounce, you just bend your knees and go over. I learnt how to do a back flip first and then a back handspring and then a back walkover. My dad taught my how to do a backflip and I taught myself how to do the other tricks.

Backflip

A backflip is like a front flip but instead of going forwards you go back. To learn, my dad hopped on the tramp with me and grabbed my t shirt and counted to 3 and helped me flip. This made it less scary to learn because I knew if I fell he would catch me. After a few times with dad holding me, I could do it by myself. In no time my brother could also do it!

Back handspring  

A back handspring is like a back flip but you bounce lower and your hands touch the trampoline, and you flip over backwards. To learn how to do this trick I practised doing really low back flips and then started putting my hands down on the trampoline when I flipped over. I only learnt how to do a back handspring a couple of days ago so I will need to keep practising.

Back walkover

A back walkover is like a back handspring but no bounces and when you go over your legs are split. To learn how to do a back walkover I just did a back handspring with my legs split, and then did the exact same but with no bounces and then I did a back walkover. In no time you will be able to do all the tricks easy. Just keep practicing.
