#TRICKTUESDAY // Half Half Triffis Tuck   I want to share a story about this particular half half triffis tuck. Out of all the Trick Tuesday videos, this was the only skill I got right on the very first try. I’m not saying this to brag about the quality of my half half trif because, to be honest, I never considered myself particularly good at it. However, there’s more to this story, and it contains an important lesson.   Before attempting the half half trif, I spent the first half of my practice filming half half tuck, which is a similar but much easier skill as it only uses two somersaults instead of three. I focused on perfecting the form and technique of my half half tuck for over an hour before I tried half half trif. Here’s what I focused on;   🔹 Keeping my arms narrow and reaching up for a square takeoff (biceps to ears!) 🔹 Waiting until I left the bed to initiate the tilt twist 🔹 Keeping my upper body vertical without leaning my shoulders back too much 🔹 Snapping my toes up off the bed to generate backward rotation 🔹 Holding the straight body position for a moment as I left the bed before snapping into a tight tuck   While I did not perform all these elements perfectly, I discovered that focusing on the basic elements of a solid and technically sound take-off naturally led to a high-quality skill. And that’s the important lesson here!   We don’t improve our big tricks by mindlessly hucking them over and over again. That only reinforces bad habits and slows down progress. Instead, the key is to focus on perfecting the basics. By doing so, we can truly enhance the execution of our skills and achieve better competition results.   Btw, if you’d like to see a better example of these basic techniques in action, take a look at my Half Half Tuck video, posted on June 14, 2022, or my Arabian Tuck video, posted on February 22, 2022.   Want to learn more? I run custom training camps that focus on skill development and aerial awareness. If you’re interested, send me a message!

TRICK TUESDAY // Rudi Out Pike . Rudi out pike is a valuable skill used by many elite trampoline athletes. It has high scoring potential because you can pike tight, finish the twist early and show a line. But there are many athletes who struggle to master this skill for one reason or another. For me, there were 4 key elements that improved my comfort and confidence with this skill. . 1️⃣ Spot before the rudi: A 1&¾ front kicks-out at roughly the same time as the twist of a rudi out. If you can spot a 1&¾ front well, you’ll know when to start twisting. . 2️⃣ Build comfort with the blind spot: The twist of a rudi creates a blind spot by turning your head away from the trampoline and twisting fast enough to blur your vision. You must become comfortable with this blind spot by practicing variations of flips with 1&½ twists. . 3️⃣ Spot after the rudi: Once you come out of blind spot you need to re-focus on the bed as soon as possible to confirm your position in the air and prepare for landing. . These 3 elements will give you strong spatial awareness but will create an “old school” rudi out. The excessive spotting will make it look clunky and segmented in the air. . 4️⃣ Repetition: Through constant repetition, this movement pattern will become more comfortable and consistent. At this point you can start phasing out the first spotting moment and initiate the rudi based on feel. This will create a smoother transition from flip to twist and produce a more dynamic looking rudi out. . Want to learn more? I run custom training camps that focus on skill development and spatial awareness.

#TRICKTUESDAY // Wrap-up A huge thank you to the entire trampoline community for supporting #TrickTuesday! It has been an awesome journey and I am grateful I was able to share it with all of you. I am leaving you with one final piece of advice about spatial awareness (about halfway through the video). This idea was crucial to the development of my own spacial awareness and boosted my confidence for every skill. I hope you find it helpful! #TrampolineTrickTuesday #TrickTuesday #trampoline #gymnastics #acrobatics #trampolinetricks #flips #backflip #frontflip #athlete #coaching #coach #jump #training #sports #gymcan #teamcanada
