ROUTINES
Once you have mastered all these moves you can start performing them one after the other to create a routine.
Start your routine with a few standing bounces to set your rhythm.
Try to perform each skill neatly, at a consistent height and always in the middle of the bed.
You can put together moves in whatever order you wish. Some are more difficult than others. Here are two
suggested basic routines.
Start with Routine A. Once you have mastered Routine A you are ready to start Routine B.
BEWARE OF.....
You may have noticed that the Knee Drop is missing from the list of moves. This is a very simple move which is no
longer recommended by the British Trampoline Federation, as it can cause the bouncer to lose control, bounce
forward and fly head first off the side of the trampoline. It has also been known to cause back injuries.
Remember that if you happen to do a Knee Drop you are, in fact, isolating two of your bodies vital control and
energy absorption joints; your knees and your ankles.
There are many more trampoline moves that require a higher degree of skill and training and should be taught
by a qualified trampoline coach.
It is not always realised that somersaults and moves involving full rotation in the air are potentially very
dangerous if attempted without proper training and supervision. For this reason we recommend that somersaults
are not attempted unless under the supervision of a properly qualified trampoline coach.
