Trampoline games that you can play by yourself on the trampoline?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

one game you can play by yourself is what I like to call "Bouncing Balls" this game can only be played on a trampoline with a net. What you do is get some balls (any balls) and place them in the middle of the trampoline. What you have to do is jump from one end of the trampoline to the other without getting hit.

You can also have fun on a trampoline by learning tricks. If you go to a Trampoilning school or Gymnastics club they will teach you tricks.

How do you do a back flip without hurting your back?

User Avatar

Asked by Vidia100

Well, I would first suggest that if you want to be safe that you do not do one at home. Do one at a gym. If you are not enrolled in gymnastics a lot of gyms have something called "Open Gym" where anyone can come to the gym for a small fee (anywhere from $5-$15) for a few hours. There should be coaches there supervising. You can ask them to spot you to make sure you do not hurt yourself. In order to do it though, you need to make sure you can do a lot of back tumbling skills by yourself like back hand springs, back walk overs, etc.

How do you do a round off back handspring?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You do the round off, which is a cartwheel but you land on two feet. Once you mastered that, you learn how to rebound which is after you do the round off you jump up. After that, you do your round off and then instead of jumping up, you jump backward with your hands above your head and do the back handspring.

How do you execute a back walkover?

User Avatar

Asked by MasterTyler

You go into a back bridge then kick one of your legs back then the other one. To perform a back walkover, you should stand with both arms straight and up right. Your favorite foot ( I am a righty so I will use my right foot while explaining) in front of you with your leg extended, straight and toes pointed. As you reach backwards for the floor (as if you were attempting a back bend) you will pull your right leg over with you as you are reaching backward for the floor. Your legs will stay separated the entire time in as big of a split as you can make them. As your foot are approaching the ground you will land with your right leg first (straight and toes pointed) and arms should still be on your ears (or straight). Before planting your left leg on the ground you should show a "tee" position with your body. Because you are bent over at a 90 degree angle your right leg being straight and on the ground with your left leg still in the air directly behind you and your arms on your ears, it will look like the letter "T". Then you will plant your left leg on the on the ground into a lunge position.

How do you get over the fear of doing a no-hand back flip?

User Avatar

Asked by Anovia

Can you do the back flip first of all?? If you can then you shouldn't be afraid to do them. I taught myself how to do a back flip. I guess i just had a lot of bravery and courage.

If you are scared of doing the back flip on hard ground then....

I taught myself on the trampoline. Then i started doing it on my mattress. I had this really soft but firm carpet and i covered it with pillows. After i grew confident i took all the pillows off and started doing it on the plain carpet. Then after i got the courage i just started doing it on the ground.

How do you do a backhand spring?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

To do a backhand spring, it is very important that your legs, ankles, feet, arms, wrist, back and neck are stretched out, so you aren't stiff or anything like that when you go to do your backhand spring.

To do a backhand spring, start standing up straight with your shoulders stretched, and your arms up. Then lean back like your are sitting in a chair with your knees lined up with your ankles and your arms going out in front of you. Then as you lean back some more so your back is lined up with your waste, bring your arms back above your head. Then jump and bring your arms to te ground as your legs go up and land in a handstand, with your legs behind you and your toes pointed. If yo are beginning, just bring your legs down. If you are used to it, try and spring your legs up.and land in a standing position.

You're probably a beginner since you're looking up this question. If so, I recommend you get a spotter so you don't break your back, neck etc. That can easily happen when you're a beginner because you probably not do the positions right, which will cause your back to jerk if it is to fast for you, and You might fall and break either your back or neck. If you are a beginner and can't find a spotter, please don't do it anyways. Just wait until you have someone to spot you. Then when you have a spotter, Make him/her keep you in the positions for a little bit so your body can get used to them. As you get used to it, go faster and when you are ready, try going by yourself. And try your best, if it doesn't work keep trying. And eventually you will do it.

However, Do not do this on, cement, grass, dirt, rock, pavement etc. Make sure you are on mats or a trampoline. And if you are used to it, you can try on beams. If you are new to this, don't try it on beams unless you get good at it.

Remember to be safe as you do this and

follow these directions!

Hope this helped! ♥

What is a beam floor?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Beam & Block system is an alternative method to hollowcore and wide slab floor systems. This method consists of having T beams spanning across the floor area, wall to wall.

The system involves using pre-stressed, inverted "T" beams which are in filled with standard concrete blocks. Beams are produced to give nominal depths from 150mm to 225mm and are placed at 520mm and/or 295mm centres depending on the span and load.

Joints between the beams and blocks are to be grouted after installation and before screeds are placed. Insulation can be laid directly on top of construction. Screed is then poured to give a smooth finish to receive floor covering.
