5.3 The Hands And Knees Drop
To do this drop properly, there should be just as much weight on your hands as on
your knees. Your back should be about approximately parallel to the bed. Knees and
hands should land simultaneously, with the middle of the body landing in the centre
of the trampoline. Hands should be directly under the shoulders. Knees should be
directly under the hips. Your toes should be pointed.
To Learn The Hands And Knees Drop:
1. Get down on your hands and knees on the bed. Make sure you have weight on
both your hands and your knees. Do not sit on your heels.
2. Remain in this posion and try to bounce. Do not rock back and forth between
the hands and knees, but develop an even landing on all four points.
3. From the standing posion, prime the bed several mes. Li upward with your
hips, reach forward with your hands, and land on all fours. Look slightly in front of
your hands on landing. Push to rebound to your feet (see Figure B6).

5.4 The Front Drop
Contact with the trampoline bed should simultaneously take place with your hands,
elbows, chest, stomach, hips, and knees. Knees should be bent. You must come
down level. If the landing is made rst on your chest and arms, they will rebound
before your knees hit which will result in a straining acon on your back. If this type
of landing is made with a travelling, diving approach there is a chance that your
elbows may become skinned. If the landing is made so that your knees and hips hit
rst, then they will rebound and your shoulders and face will land heavily.
