I can add a better pic performed on sand if anyone would like? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.44.174.56 (talk • contribs)

- As a trampolinist I have to say the current picture is pretty atrocious form. No set, no kickout, and it's pretty clear that that person is not going to be landing it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.146.25.124 (talk • contribs)
- Agreed, I am very aware that these are very possible standing, and can do a front tuck with a bit of a jog. Maybe when i get a btuck, and well, I'll replace whats here with me. Thats only if nobody else beats me to it. -Psych —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.166.128.116 (talk • contribs)
[edit] Terminology
If there is anyone who knows about gymnastics and whatnot... This article seems similar to frontflip, and I was wondering if there was any signifigant difference. Couchpotato99 02:29, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
- Also, a somersault is not always "synonymous with a flip" as a "flip" indicates that the body is leaving the ground. A forward roll is a type of somersault, isn't it? Miss Dark 23:05, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
- This whole topic doesn't make sense to me. As a tricker, I am familiar with flips, tucks, and rolls. "Somersault" is a layman's term in my eyes, and thus this page needs to be replaced or remade. -Psych —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.166.128.116 (talk • contribs)
[edit] External Links - Risk of Injury
I am concerned that anybody attempting to follow the advice offered by some external links from this article may end up endangering themselves. Specifically, a back somersault is not undertaken in a trampoline club until many prerequisites are satisfied - the tutorial linked to this article suggests there are none and offers a highly dangerous 'gung-ho' advice. Such advice ought be accompanied with a disclaimer such as that shown in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Risk_disclaimer DaveK@BTC (talk) 16:08, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
