How can I learn to do a back-flip without a trampoline?

Marie

I would to learn how to do a back-flip (and hopefully learn more, so I can do parkour) but my mom who is a nurse says they are too dangerous for me. I see where she is coming from since she is a nurse how probably sees accidents for kids paralyzing themselves everyday. I think I can handle it I am a 15 since to be 16 year old girl! Since a trampoline is out of the question how can I learn?

Answer
Ah!! Ok so that one guy above me has the motions correct. Jump up, grab your legs leaning backwards (tucking), and then land... BUT knowing that is nothing. What you need to do is get help. And NOT from a friend. I tried that and he dropped me on my damn neck. Luckily we were in a gym so I landed on a thick pad. Regardless, it hurt for a week.

Every city I've lived in has a gymnastic institute. They all have open gym days too. Pay 5-15$ average and you get a whole day in a giant gym with foam pits and stuff. I suggest you learn there. Also you will be able to ask gymnists for help too. They will know how to properly spot you as well.

Otherwise just go to a pool and try doing it over and over into the water.

Good luck man.

rain puddle on trampoline?

tottally t

I have a trampoline in my backyard and it rained A LOT recently. So when i looked at the trampoline, there was a giant puddle right in the middle of it and the puddle was weighing down the center of the trampoline. Should i take the water out as soon as possible, or can i wait? How do i take the water out? And is there anything i can do in the future to stop this from happening? I have a weather cover on the trampoline but the puddle was so big that it still weighed the trampoline down.

Answer
Its fun to jump on it.

What Should be Attention When Start Your Inflatable slides Business?

What Should be Attention When Start Your Inflatable slides Business

Answer
Bouncy castle and similar structures are temporary inflatable buildings and structures that are rented for functions, school and church festivals and village fetes and used for recreational purposes, mainly used by children. The growth in popularity of moonwalks has led to an inflatable rental industry which includes inflatable slides, obstacle courses, games, and more. Inflatables are ideal for portable amusements because they are easy to transport and store. The name given to such structures varies.


They have been marketed with such names as bounce house, Moon Bounce, Astrojump, Moonwalk, Jolly Jump and Spacewalk. The term "Bounce House" came to popularity with the resurgence of hipster culture in New England. "Pula pula" is another name commonly used by Latinos, which literally means "jump jump". The term 'Jolly Jumps' is often used to describe the inflatable playground structure in rural areas and some areas in the Western US, but the term is otherwise obsolete.

Although they are often aimed at children, adult castles can be hired in the many countries,like UK,US,China,Europe and so on. Because of liability concerns, moonwalks are rarely rented to adults in the US. Historically, names for inflatable structures, particularly in the United States, are composed of two, one syllable words. In the United States the terms that consist of two, one syllable words are popular. In Southern California, another popular term is Closed Inflatable Trampolines, or "CITs". Bouncy Castle or Inflatable Castle are used in Ireland, the UK, New Zealand and parts of Australia, and Jumping Castles in Arizona, Australia, Canada and South Africa.

As a whole the term moon bounce has become a generic term for enclosed inflatable trampolines worldwide. Following the popular of inflatables, more and more countries start a rental business,and the kinds of inflatables more and more day by day. Except bouncy castle, also water slide,inflatable tent, giant inflatables,bounce house for children. Many buyer found that usually people are willing buy one or two pieces of bouncy castle or water slide for their children.So not only to rental inflatble, some big imported especial import some small size family using inflatables.

Actually that brings big profit to importer, becuase inflatable field is few in their country and the cose is very expensive in Europe and America,Australia. Also some advertising company will order the big inflatable tent for sport, like tennis,basketball,football,badmin and so on. In winter many countries will snow, it will effect outdoor sports, but many youngers like outdoor sport in winter. Based on this,some smart merchant found that and place order about tent. One of my clients even order an big size of 30*60*15m for 600 people.At present his business is very good.

Dance Party: This is by far the most popular party theme. It's the most popular for a reason, if you find the right entertainment it can be the most fun of all the different party types. Think about your school dances, many schools only have two per year of which you may only be allowed to attend one! But everywhere you look you see other people having dances on TV or in movies. Dances allow you to throw your own party just like an adult where you can have a blast with all of your closest friends. If you find a DJ who specializes in sweet sixteen's with lights, games and contests you (or your parents) don't have to worry about anything except showing up, picking out the right music and having a blast with all of your friends! The right DJ should make sure everyone is involved and keep the party going all night.


2.Rock Band, DDR or Guitar Hero Theme Party: Why not take the games you play with your friends to the next level? Setup a screen, rent some lighting and speakers and have a real rock championship to determine the best Rock Band, Guitar Hero, or DDR players. Setting up a tournament with brackets and themed prizes can make your sweet sixteen party a blast!

3.Outdoor Movie Party: Having your party outdoors can be awesome for you and your friends to take in the great summer weather and watch a movie together. You can rent all the equipment you need to have a massive screen in your backyard or by the pool so you can all watch a movie together or make a movie night out of it. Having games and party favors within the theme can help turn it into an awesome party.


4.Pool Party: Pools are a great way for your friends to relax and hang out in the pool. Hiring a DJ to keep the music going and to incorporate the pool into the evening with contests and games can be a really great party during the summer. You can setup a giant inflatable movie screen next to the pool to show the movies on, or have a volleyball net or basketball hoop if you don't already have one for the pool.


5.Roller Skating/Ice Skating Party: Having an activity to focus on throughout the night is important if you don't like being the center of attention the whole night. It makes it easy for everyone to have a great time from your really outgoing guests, to friends who need a little help getting into the party. Having a roller or ice skating party can be a great theme option. Many rinks have a lot of creative ways to enhance your party. Having a local band or a DJ can also be a great way to kick up a party to the next level.


6.Lake Party: If you have a lake or campground near you, these parties can be the most memorable parties and weekends of your life. Most larger lakes have boats or pontoon boats that you can rent, or you can rent jet skis to have a blast with all your friends for your birthday party! Some lakes you can even combine pontoon boats with a dance party if the lake is big enough! You can also look into water trampolines, these can help turn your sweet sixteen party into the party of the year!


7.Scavenger Hunt: Having all of your friends show up ahead of time and surprising the birthday person with a party and then going out on a scavenger hunt can be an awesome party idea! It gives everyone something to do as well as adding competition into the night. Theme each stop after something that the birthday person likes or reminds you of them. You can do photo or video hunts or hunt for physical objects around town. Have the final location be a secret until you have found all the clues, then everyone can meet up at the final location to really celebrate your party with everyone together!

How do I get over my body issues?

giant water trampolines image

Nicole

When I was 14 I was on the chubby side and the 'friend' I had back then used to call me fat and take my school lunches so I wouldn't eat them, this got into my head and I started craving the hungry/starving feeling.. When it came to dinner time I used to use excuses like "I'm not hungry" or "I ate macdonalds with my friends"or "I feel sick", I also went to the extent of scrapping food on clean plates and leaving them on the counter to look like I ate.. I went rapidly anorexic and only for a real friend that helped through it, I probably wouldn't be here today, then I became friends with someone who ate takeaways ALL the time so I gained quite a lot of weight and became unhappy with my weight again, when we fell out I lost most of the weight I gained and I am now a size uk 10 or 12 sometimes, ino it may not be fat to some people but I am so unhappy with my weight, I do exercise a few times a week but diets never work for me, it doesn't help that I'm tall and this makes me feel like a fat giant compared to my skinny short friends, how do I get over my body insecurities?? :(

Answer
Size 10 is perfect; I wish I was size 10. I always felt too tall also, but as we age, we actually get shorter.

Hereâs a good low-carb food/exercise plan:

Breakfast: Cook 9-grain cereal (from health food store) in water with rolled oats and wheat bran. Make a big pot of it on weekends and nuke 1/2 cup each morning. Add low fat milk or yogurt, banana, walnuts and berries. Drink hot Ovaltine. Breakfast should be your largest meal of the day to raise blood sugar level which falls during the night.

Lunch: Egg, tuna or turkey sandwich on whole grain bread with bean or alfalfa sprouts and yogurt w/fruit. If you had meat loaf for dinner, bring a meat loaf sandwich on whole grain bread (NO mayo). On cold days, a squatty thermos of hot chili, split peas with ham, or beef stew.

Snacks: Fresh (not canned) fruit: banana, orange, apple, kiwi, grapes, peach, nectarine, cherries, pineapple. No chips and nothing ever from a vending machine.

Dinner: salad with white meat chicken and fresh (not canned) veggies: tomatoes, 2 kinds of lettuce, 2 kinds of shredded cabbage, shredded or sliced carrots, alfalfa or bean sprouts, zucchini, green or red peppers, hard boiled eggs, brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, tofu, cottage cheese...Instead of dressing, squeeze 1/4 tomato over it.

Or homemade bean/vegetable soups; great way to recycle leftovers.
Or grilled fish with steamed veggies.

Or omelet: In blender, whip together eggs, tofu, cottage cheese, onions, garlic powder. Cook with mushrooms, chopped tomatoes and green or red peppers.

Foods to avoid: junk food, fast foods, pastries, desserts, sugar, salty foods, syrup (even canned fruit in syrup), peanut butter, fat/grease (pork, wieners, chops, bacon, salami, pizza, chips, fries), pasta, potatoes, white bread, rice, canned veggies, ice cream, soda, chips. And of course no tobacco or alcohol in any form. Both of those add wrinkles and destroy your brain. No oil except olive and mac nut. Coffee also rots your brain.

To keep your skin clear, drink water. Veg. juice is good too. But not canned juice (too much sugar.)

Join a gym; they have all the equipment and staff to show you how to use it to get the look you want to achieve. Much cheaper than buying your own equipment. Go hiking, biking, jogging, bowling, swimming, rowing, jump rope, play tennis, badminton, volleyball, soccer, jumping jacks, lift weights, trampoline? To tone your tummy, do sit ups, push ups, pull ups, leg lifts, butt raises and crunches.

If you lack energy, take Super B complex.

How can I practice a tabletop without killing myself?

Red Panda

Answer
First, practice practice practice jumping small, simple, straight jumps. Get your takeoff nailed down so you can do it in your sleep. Then move on to larger jumps that give you more air time so you can work up to tabletops or whatever else you want to try.

Second, and this should be first.....get a good hardshell or fullface helmet and think about full padding for your elbows, knees, and shins.

I've seen people practicing their aerials by taking an old bike, removing the wheels, derailleurs, chainrings, and pretty much everything but what is needed to hold it all together. They super-pad everything and put axles or something between the dropouts so they won't bend, and then get on a large trampoline. I've also seen giant, deep foam block pits that are made with a steep jump just so people can practice.

If the water is warm where you are, get an absolute beater bike from a garage sale or pawn shop and make some lake jumps. A bunch of guys around here set those up in the summer. I haven't done it but it looks like a blast! Also looks like a good way to get hurt if something goes wrong, but they usually ditch the bike before the hit they water.

What should I do for my sixteenth birthday?

giant water trampolines image

Audrinna

I can't have a giant party or spend a ton of money. But I am turning 16, and it's pretty big! What should I do?

Answer
Well in my family, usually we skip the whole Sweet Sixteen thing and just throw a big graduation/18th birthday party.
But...
you can always have twenty or so good friends over for a bbq in your backyard -
grill, cake, sparklers, (if you have a pool/trampoline, some stuff could happen) if its hot out, and your birthday is later on, you could play water games. Rent a Slip n Slide or a bounce house(:

Or you and your girlfriends could maybe get your nails done and go out to dinner?
Or rent a room at your favorite restaurant and you and 3-4 close friends could go out for a celebratory meal!

What else should i do to my room?

alexis.[:

Okay, well I'm turning 13 in a few months and going to 8th grade pretty soon. My room isn't big nor is it small. Right now, i have a full size bed and getting a mini trampoline in a few days. Of course i have regular stuff in my room like, a dresser, 20 inch TV, chair, rug, etc. But what are somethings i could do to make my room look really cool. I already have signs and posters hanging up. Like, what are some things that you can't just find in a regular store like walmart that i can add to my room?

Answer
Decoate one wall entirely with cork tiles and paint it all in a really bold colour. Then paint a scene onto it, for example, clouds and stars...then you have a giant pinbooard where you can pin anything with damaging your walls, and no-one else has one like it!

Use unusal objects to create shelves...an old skateboard or painted driftwood....anything flat!!

Collect differrent and interesting shaped bottles and fill them up with water and lots of differenet food colourings. Put them on diplay...somewhere they won't get knocked over.
