Answer 1

have a coach (gymnastics) spot u the first few times and they'll tell u if ur ready for it by urself. i used to have the same fear

good luck!

Answer 2

get a sting mat

Answer 3

Fear is just a mind thing. Just realize that you are in control of your mind, not the other way around. And take a leap of faith.

The first time I ever did it I landed on my head and I wasnt scared to do it again lol.

Answer 4

Get training before you try it on the floort

gymnastics cheer etcc.

bc if you try it on your own you have a hugeee change of breaking yourself

Answer 5

I suggest you find a person you can trust to spot you (basically stand or kneel near by and put up the preson's hands incase you mess up). That should help for sure. You should also pretend that you are on the trampoline, don't do anything you wouldnt do on a trampoline. Remember to look straight ahead and don;t overthink it. I sure you'll get it! Good luck!

Answer 6

Yeah its scary 4 everyone at first.  What helped me was to have a spotter aka someone to stand next to  and help you complete your rotation if u fail.  U can also try flipping off of something higher onto the trampoline to build confidence. good luck .
