Figure 6 Hands and Knees Drop
z
The Front Drop
Contact with the trampoline be should simultaneously take place with your hands, elbows, chest, stomach,
hips and knees. Knees should be bent.
You must come down level. If the landing is made first on your chest and arms, they will rebound before
your knees hit which will result in a straining action on you back. If this type of landing is made with a
traveling, diving approach there is a chance that your elbows may become skinned. If the landing is made
so that your knees and hips hit first, then they will rebound and your shoulders and face will land heavily.
Step 1:
(a)
Start from the hands and knees drop position.
(b)
As you rebound from the hands and knees, stretch so that you land on your stomach. From this
position, rebound to your hands and knees.
Step 2:
(a)
Start from a standing position with knees bent so that your upper body is low and close to the
trampoline bed.
(b)
Prime the bed several times.
(c)
Lift hips gently upward and backward.
(d)
Land in contact with the bed as described in Step 1.
(e)
Push with your hands to return to the feet
Step 3:
(a)
Start from a straight standing position.
(b)
Prime the bed several times.
(c)
Perform skill as in Step 2 (see Figure 7).
