SECOND NATURE
He says the sensation of trampolining is both strange and organic. "It's the weirdest feeling. When I'm on a trampoline I feel like I have total control. I'm 30 feet in the air, putting my body through these crazy spins and twists, only to land and ask myself, "How did I just do that?!" But when I'm on the tramp, everything is second nature. I can close my eyes and just feel whatever it is I need to do." (afterthewhistle.co.nz, 01 Apr 2021)
