I spun off a blog of interest to all coaches of acrobatic sports. Gymnastics and trampoline are fundamental to everything you do later in sports like diving and break dancing.
Go to my new blog for everything gymnastics.
Last summer at Woodward camp I coached high level mountain bikers, in-line skaters and skateboard punks. Their lack of skill on trampoline was shocking and dangerous.
Two gymnasts, the sons of former Olympian Phillip Chartrand, trained gymnastics one week — then switched to in-line skating for the next week. The in-line coaches told me they were instantly the best students due to their solid gymnastics background. Those boys were cast in the new Beatles Cirque show “LOVE”.
