To spin on a trampoline, you need to combine arm movements and leg tucking at the peak of your jump.
Here's a breakdown of how to achieve a spin:
- Jump High: A good spin requires height. Focus on getting a powerful bounce.
- Arm Movement: As you reach the peak of your jump, throw your arms down in the direction you want to spin. This provides the initial momentum.
- Leg Tucking: Immediately after throwing your arms down, grab your legs, pulling your knees towards your chest. This reduces your body's moment of inertia, causing you to spin faster. As the referenced video states, this technique is commonly used in more advanced maneuvers like triple fronts.
- Spot Your Landing: Keep your eyes focused on a point in front of you to maintain balance and prepare for landing.
- Release and Land: As you descend, release your legs and extend them to prepare for landing. Bend your knees to absorb the impact.
Think of it as a coordinated sequence: jump high, throw arms, tuck legs, spot landing, release legs.
