Trampoline Training Parts Equipment Supply
Your backyard trampoline can come in handy when practicing your wakeboard tricks. It is a soft spot to land when first learning a trick and provides a decreased risk of injury when attempting a trick for the first few times. Gymnasts frequently use trampolines for practice for this same reason. Another benefit is if you don't pull off the move you don't have to wait in the water until the boat swings back around to pick you up.
Trampoline Training Can Aid You In Learning New Wakeboarding Skills
If you use a land trampoline tying a tow rope to a nearby tree or other object can act as a tow boat and gives the rope some tension. Hold on to the handle and practice your jumps. If nothing is nearby to use as a tie-off point, someone standing on land can hold the rope.
There are, however, risks involved when training on a trampoline. Take it slow and never try to exceed your skill level. Massively high jumps are most likely not needed to pull off a trick. Try a few mis-size jumps and that should be all the height needed.
Never wear a wakeboard when performing trampoline training. Doing so could not only tear your trampoline but also injure yourself if you land incorrectly.
As with many other sports that involve flying through the air, never look down while performing your tricks. Keep your head up and eyes set on the horizon as if you are looking at the tow boat.
