Interview with Nicole Midura, Vice President of Sales and Marketing:

You have a very close relationship with the girls at MG Elite. Can you talk about how you began working with them?

Those girls…I just love those girls! We were at a live sale about three years ago and along comes this gorgeous young lady and her mom.

Tramp back twisting tutorial

Greg Roe demonstrates one way of learning Trampoline backward twisting. Straight arms.

Cody drills are prerequisite.

Greg simplifies teaching the 1st half twist for beginners by having them wait until they see the Tramp bed. Then turning without thinking about any arm drop. I do the same. (In reality he initiates that 1st half twist by dropping his right arm, a “tilt” twist.)

Message Greg if you have any comments. He’s hoping to post a series of these tutorials.

Segway meets skateboard – IO Hawk

Similar to the Segway (but minus the handle bars), the product is powered by batteries, motors and uses slight pressure from your feet to guide it where you want it to go. …
