    I've always wondered how you go about doing this properly? My lil sis
    has a biggish trampoline in the garden, and I've only tried once or
    twice to jump my uni on it. What happens is that you try to preload
    your body weight, but when you try to jump up, the 'sag' from the
    trampoline seems to absorb any preload you made, therefore barely even
    making a a jump. The uni kinda seems to stay stationary whilst your
    feet get forced off the pedals, causing you to fly off instead.

    I've seen pics of Zack doing fairly huge hops on one, and it looks like
    great fun once you learn the technique of using a trampoline's
    flexiness.

    It's an art in itself. Joe tried it when he came over, and he ended
    with his seat in his chin, haha...

    So, what's the secret, if any of you can do it?

    Ergh, i gotta start riding again. I haven't ridden uni in aaaages, too
    much biketrials recently!

    Lol its actually really easy the only tricky part is getting started,
    you can do it sif or si. I was trying to do backflips on my friends
    tramponline yesterday(on the uni of course) you cant prehop like you
    would on concrete, you have to work your way up to that height. If you
    want an instant huge hop from a trampoline, use those lil excersize
    ones that are like 4 ft round. I have done some nasty sidehops up
    obstacles on those bad boys..

    I used to not even be close, but last time i tried, it was very simple.
    I would do it seat in. You simply need to have a big starting jump to
    get it going (though you wont go very high that one). After that,
    continue jumping as hard as you can. Soon, you should be jumping quite
    high. After that, just go crazy.

    Yes emiles got the right idea 🙂

    though last time i tried i didnt manage a 180 uspin. But actually, i
    sucked back then (couldnt 5spin yet). Doing stuff like that is hard on
    a trampoline.

    Start by doing a jump mount, and let the trampoline spring you and the
    uni up, otherwise you end up jumping off the bed with the uni and you
    get out of sync. The bounces need to be slow and controlled, because
    you don't have your legs to spring you up and the uni needs to because
    part of you, essentially.

    I have a large green fence (i guess colour is not really relevent) about
    7foot high around my backyard. Before we sold the trampoline i would
    get on it with the unicycle and bounce so as i was lvl with the fence
    then enjoy the looks on the faces of the passers bye(es) as they notice
    someone reaching heights of more than 7feet on a unicycle :o :o just
    did two or three quick ones then left them wondering.
