The Trampoline DVD - Online Trampoline Coach - basic course WORKS!

It really is possible to follow the moves and learn trampoline tricks with this Trampoline Video Instruction DVD.

And once you have the basic moves covered, you can learn routines, use the trampoline for your workout, impress your friends with twists and backflips, or you can join a gym and start more advanced moves.

This Trampoline DVD slowly goes through Basic Bouncing, half twist jumps, full twist jumps, tuck jumps, straddle jumps, pike jumps, seat drops, front drops and back drops. Swivel hips and half twist to front drop are next followed by back drop half twist out and the ‘cradle’. More difficult moves are then covered such as the roller and back bouncing, until you are ready for pre-somersault progressions. The Front and Back somersault have particular detail so you slowly build your confidence.

But the Trampoline DVD does not stop there. With delivery the the Trampoline DVD comes a password to the members’ area - where extra reports, routine videos and Trampoline Video Worshops are being updated on a weekly basis.

In the advanced Trampoline area, Fay Roberts has already prepared a gym-trained trampolinist for a Corkscrew (back drop, one and a half twist to backdrop) and a Baby Fliffus (back drop, early twist into back tucked somersault).

And the word is spreading…. the Fay Roberts Trampoline DVD has over 500 subscribers, all wanting to get the most out of their backyard trampoline.
