A few quick words about the course as well as a quick coach introduction.
A new set of stretches from the beginner course - ideally do these daily.
A different set of exercises from the beginner course, to be done daily if possible along with the stretches.
Our first warm up drill - back drop 180s aka back drop half out.
The reverse skill of the previous video. Once you know how to spin into and out of back drops, the possibilities open up!
Another low-consequence but pretty difficult bed trick that is getting us ready to ultimately add spinning to flips.
The next bed trick in line is the back drop log roll.
The main progression to learn side flips.
The #1 progression for the bedrock freestyle classic - the misty. Specifically the misty 540.
The #1 progression to a crowd favorite - corks. Specifically, cork 720s.
This is the top drill for a trick called a branny which is a front flip 180 or a front flip half twist. This is the next clue of why we learned a cartwheel in the beginner course.
We start off the skills section by upping our basic spins to a 540 and reexamine proper spin technique.
In this video we learn to actually put a front flip, or more specifically a front tuck, to our feet.
The big one - backflips. I say it a lot in the video but for this one trick specifically, try to get yourself into a gym with a professional spotting you the first handful of times. Enjoy!
Our final standard flip - the side flip (both directions).
In this video we learn how to actually land a misty 540.
We wrap up our skills with our crowning jewel of intermediate-level freestyle tricks - cork 720s.
Congrats on finishing the course! A few final words...
Hey guys, welcome to the Intermediate Mixed Trampoline Course!
Who is the instructor?
My name is Kris Olson, and I've been a gymnastics coach in Colorado for over 10 years as well as a competitive snowboarder and a coach of competitive snowboarding for over 20 years. Now, about this course:
What's in this course?
So this course has a mixture of legitimate gymnastics skills as well as freestyle trampoline tricks that heavily apply to action sports. This is a continuation of my beginner mixed trampoline course which you can also find on Udemy, and I make several references to previous drills covered in that course. However, if you are already at an intermediate-ish level yourself, you should have no problem following along. More specifically though, this course starts with a series of stretching and conditioning relevant to the tricks we’re working on and different than the ones covered in the beginner course. Then we move into our basics which starts with adding spin to a series of different bed tricks (which are tricks where you bounce off of different parts of your body instead of just your feet). Then we learn progressions for side flips as well as mistys, corks and brannys. And finally we end the intermediate course by putting these drills together and learning front flips, backflips, side flips, misty 540s and cork 720s.
Is this course worth my money?
Here are the reasons why this course is valuable:
Safety. Learning these skills from a professional is so much less sketchy than trying these things by yourself or with your friends amping you up. And it's way faster.
Legitimate content. The drills, progressions and techniques taught in this course have been refined for over a decade and have been proven to help hundreds of kids and adults learn these skills.
Structure. Fast and effective progression is a matter of doing the right things in the right way in the right order. The chronological organization of this course will achieve that for you.
High video quality. Cinematography and editing are side hobbies of mine, and I put them to work to make sure these videos are easy to watch and far surpass basic iPhone tutorials you can find on TikTok and Instagram.
Fun. There aren't many things more fun than jumping on a trampoline, but one of those things is being good at it. It has contributed to a really cool life for me and can definitely create that for anyone else who is willing to put in the reps!
It took me 25 years to accumulate all these skills, but you can do it in a matter of months with this course. Give it a go!
