TRAMPOLOINING
Although even in the early years of trampolining,
notable and international athletes performed many of the difficult skills
and combinations of skills that are seen today, modern trampoline competitions
are quite different those of the early developmental years -- due in part
to advances in equipment design, changes in the rules and governance,
and more systematic training of the athletes.
International competition trampolines are larger and more powerful than
those utilized in the early years and a far cry from the "backyard"
models that are found today in most suburban neighborhoods. These modern
trampolines can propel trained athletes as high as 30 feet in the air
during performances! During two competitive routines of 10 skills each,
upper-level athletes can easily demonstrate a graceful array of double,
triple and twisting somersaults.
DOUBLE MINI-TRAMPOLINE
Double mini is a relatively new sport that combines the horizontal run
of tumbling with the vertical rebound of trampoline. After a short run,
the athlete jumps onto a small two-level trampoline to perform a rebounding
trick immediately followed by a dismount element onto a landing mat. Double
mini is similar in concept to springboard diving, using a mat instead
of water.
