How To Do A Cradle On A Trampoline

A cradle is the technical term for a back drop, half twist, over forwards into a second back drop. In this step by step guide Nik Walder, coach at Ace of Clubs Trampolining, talks you through how to perform the move.

Top Tips

  • To do this move you first have to learn how to do a back drop to front drop; you can then put in a twist to land it on your back.
  • Do the twist in the second half of the move.
  • It is possible to do the twist early, but you have to be very careful as you could push your feet sideways and land on the side springs.
