My name is Peter Wraae Marino, and I have been teaching gymnastics for over 25 years. Trampolines have become very cheap and are accessible by almost anyone. Almost every street has a house with a garden trampoline. Trampolines are fun, and they allow kids to start exploring the world of gymnastics in their own garden. At our gymnastics club, we start new classes right after summer vacation. It is very easy to pick out the children who have garden trampolines. These children will usually attempt more difficult skills without any technical knowledge about how to execute these skills. It saddens me to see this because many of these children want to do gymnastics but have used their whole summer developing gymnastic skills on the trampoline incorrectly and have therefore created what we call “bad habits.” Bad habits is a term used in the gymnastic world when a gymnast always executes their skill using an incorrect technique because he or she has done it so many times that it has become second nature. This handbook is created to help tackle these problems. This handbook assumes that you have no knowledge about gymnastics or trampolines. We will build your basic trampoline skills step-by-step from the ground up.

Garden trampolines are excellent for learning basic trampoline skills at home. In this handbook you will learn the fundamental skills needed for the trampoline, such as tuck, pike, straddle, seat drops, back drops and much more. The handbook contains chapters as diverse as: safety, body positions, warm ups, skills, and challenges. With topics including: arm circles, straight jumps, tuck position, pike position, straddle position, seat drops, back drops, and front drops.

Trampoline is often seen as a leisurely backyard activity, but it is also known an extreme sport. This lively book covers the basics of extreme trampoline and how the technology has advanced over time. It delves into trampoline world records, the importance of safety, and trampoline lingo. Readers will also learn about elite trampolinists defying gravity and executing fantastic maneuvers over 30 feet, which is the length of a school bus, in the air. This captivating book will encourage those who may not have the means to participate in other sports to jump out into the fresh air.

The Know the Game series has everything you need to know about the sport, including equipment, rules, techniques and training tips.

This is the story of four children who travel back in time and get to visit and experience time with their relatives from the past. There are many adventures they experience while they are in the past.
