Are there any tricks to sticking the landing? I always hear it is air awareness - but what can you do to increase air awareness? Any helpful drills that can be done? Thanks.
 
Air awareness for me is developed through lots of trampoline variations. At the low levels this is often done without full salto's but instead with 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4 rotations using lots of back drops, front drops, seat drops and hand & knee bounces. I also include a lot of turning/twisting in these variations too. Anecdotally the gyms that I know have strong trampoline programs are the ones with very little issues with mental blocks.
