Tips & Strategies

Balance is everything on the trampoline, so plant your feet wide before attempting to flip your cup. Don't underestimate the bounce,use it to your advantage by timing your flip with the upward motion of the trampoline. Keep your drink hand steady and grab the edge of the cup with precision to avoid spills. If you're losing your balance, stabilize yourself by lightly bouncing on your knees rather than flailing your arms, which can throw off the table setup.
