setting the bed in motion. The feet stay in contact with the bed during the entire
priming motion.

The seat drop
To learn the seat drop:
(a)
From the standing position, prime the bed several times.
(b)
Pick up your feet at the top of the last bounce, and sit down. You should land so
that your body is in a sitting position with legs straight out in front and your toes
pointed. Hands should be on the bed next to your hips. Fingers should be
together and pointed toward the toes.
(c)
Push on the bed with your hands to rebound up to your feet (see Figure 5).

The Hands and Knees Drop
To do this drop properly, there should be just as much weight on your hands as on
your knees. Your back should be about approximately parallel to the bed. Knees and
hands should land simultaneously, with the middle of the body landing in the centre of
the trampoline. Hands should be directly under the shoulders. Knees should be
directly under the hips. Your toes should be pointed.
To learn the hands and knees drop:
(a)
Get down on your hands and knees on the bed. Make sure you have weight on
both your hands and your knees. Do not sit on your heels.
(b)
Remain in this position and try to bounce. Do not rock back and forth between
the hands and knees, but develop an even landing on all four points.
(c)
From the standing position, prime the bed several times. Lift upward with your
hips, reach forward with our hands, and land on all fours. Look slightly in front
of your hands on landing. Push to rebound to your feet (see Figure 6).
