Trampwall: Intro
Wall basics in the order coaches teach them: drops, wall running, then wall tricks.
The drop in is the entry fundamental for trampwall: dropping from the wall onto the bed to start a trick sequence.
A side drop lands sideways onto the bed off the wall, a directional variation of the basic drops.
Wall running on trampoline wall is a back-bounce variation, not actual running: a kick out of the bed toward the wall, two flat-footed steps, and an active push back down into the trampoline. Contact happens on the way up — waiting until the apex leaves no traction — with the first foot planted flat and anchored while the weight shifts up to the second, hips sunk close to the wall and arms reaching forward with closed shoulders rather than dangling or thrown overhead. What happens on the way down matters as much as the way up: pushing off the wall like a plyometric lunge, landing out in the box rather than against the springs, is what compounds height bounce over bounce, and where the first foot lands dictates how high the next pass can go. Scrambling extra steps and tiptoeing at full extension are the classic energy-wasters. Comfortable back bouncing comes first, and grippy shoes on a sturdy wall are treated as non-negotiable — never socks.
💡 The base of every wall trick — get comfortable running the wall.
A trampwall pullover is a backward rotation off the wall back onto the bed, a core trampwall building block.
A swan dive is an extended forward dive into the wall in an arched swan shape, a foundational trampwall contact skill.
Hit the trampwall in an L-sit position with legs extended, then rebound back out.
The UFO (aka turtle, beyblade) is a flat horizontal spinning trampwall trick.
A full turn adds a complete 360 twist to a trampwall wall-contact trick.
The demon is a trampwall wall-contact rotation trick, a mid-level staple of the discipline.
A ballout is a back-drop-initiated flip, on trampwall used to rotate out of a back landing into the next skill.
