STANDING STOP BOUNCE
The most important thing about bouncing is that it should be done with
control in the centre of the bed. The basic bounce should always begin
low, with both feet at the same time.
Arms are very important for proper control and lift. Whenever you go up,
your arms go up. They go up to a set position about shoulder height and
shoulder width. They should remain in this balanced position until you
start down. Then they circle down and slightly behind the hips, ready to
lift again as you bounce up
High, reckless bouncing should never be allowed.
This technique allows the jumper to gain control by stopping
quickly. It is achieved by keeping the feet in contact with the bed, and
absorbing the rebound of the trampoline with the knees and waist. This
skill should be the first skill learnt and should be employed whenever
you feel out of balance, or land away from the centre area.
To learn the standing stop bounce:
Stand in centre of the bed with your feet about hip-width apart.
Attempt about three easy bounces, keep them low and controlled.
Focus your eyes towards the perimeter of the trampoline while bouncing
in order to keep your balance.
Stop the bounce by bending at your knees and hips on contact with the
bed.
Your torso should remain vertical. When stopping the bounce, move
your arms either in front of your body or above your head
