Basic Landing Positions (cont)
The Hands And Knees Drop
To do this landing properly, there should be just as much weight on your hands as on your
knees. Your back should be 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
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. From the standing position, ride the bed several times. Lift upward with your hips,
reach forward with your hands, and land on all fours. Look slightly in front of your
hands on landing. Push to rebound to your feet (see Figure B6).
