is it possible to do a backroll on a trampoline correctly (i.e., how it should be done on the water?)

its really hard to do it on a trampoline.......the only way to kinda get the feeling for it on the trampoline is to do a backflip but turn 90 degrees but it only shows about half of the role......ill leave it to someone else to explain how to do it on the water cuz im lazay!!! Confused

why isn't it really possible?? Wouldn't it be a side flip?? I dunno, maybe I don't know what I'm talking about, someone can correct me if I'm wrong...I am also curous about this tho

seems like it wouldn't work so well b/c you don't have the wake to roll you over. I think that is why people say it is an easy invert b/c the wake wants to roll you over.

Perhaps the only way to do it is jump from the edge of the tramp in so the tramp is pushing you towards the center.

ya, mackdaddy is right...it is a sideflip, but i have found it difficult to do personally...dont have any trouble out on the wakeboard, but on the tramp it would just be a sideflip. it is a lil different because you dont get the feeling of the wake throwing you around, but that would be the only thing.

Use the handle the handle pulls you around a bit and stabalises you in the air.
