Basic Front Landings

Hands & Knees to Front Landing

Starting on hands and knees you begin bouncing equally – i.e. hands and knees at the same time and not like bucking broncos! Focussing eyes on an end wall (rather than the trampoline) throughout this move you push your hips backwards as you bounce, and straighten your legs as you drop to land on your front; at the same time you bring your arms to a position where your hands touch the trampoline slightly overlapping and in front of your face.

Front Landing (or Front Drop)

The front landing (or front drop) starts in an upright position with hips pushed slightly back as you jump upwards (with arms up and fingers still directly above your toes). Extending your arms and legs as much as possible the initial hip displacement causes a small amount of forward somersault rotation – sufficient to allow you to land on your front as the diagram shows.  As with the hands & knees move above you keep your eyes focussed towards an end wall rather than down towards the trampoline to avoid landing in a 'diving' or 'worm' action.
