In darwin there isnt much wind. We've only just gotten a cable ski which is only open on weekends so time on the water has been very rare. So ive set up off the water training thingies...First was a bar hanging from a tree which i have found very helpful for strength pulling the bar in. Next was a make shift board and a rope running from a tree horizontal which i would then jump off the ground and do little 360 handle passes etc.
Now i have a trampoline and a rope once again tied to the tree and im doing 900's and starting some inverted handle passes but im aware of how risky it is..
Does anyone have any tramp training tips maybe from being a wakeboarder, things to try etc. Or any other ways of training for freestyle tricks off the water?

Go to the cable park on the weekend, i guarentee you that after doing flatwater airs for the day you wont be able to walk for the rest of the week, then start the process again!
I made a handlepass trainer, it consists of a 4L water bottle, some rope and a ski handle. Swing it around your waist and it helps with strength and posture. Although I'm only blind passing ATM I definitely feel stronger.
I also hung a bar out back in the tree, was going to do th tramp thing but concerned about landing on my head.
