You will bounce back up and then you can do it again, again and again till you achieve a good springing back height. The more that you practice this trick, the higher you may bounce backwards and forwards.

Here’s an intermediate trampoline trick you can do once you have master the basic Back Landing trick. Begin the same way, standing straight and motionless, with arms at your sides or hands in your pockets. Fall straight back again, but when you bounce back up, land on your knees instead. The motion will keep sending you backwards and forwards so you can repeat the trick as many times as you would like.
