This week on The Roe Show, I sit down with Peter Landerholm, freestyle trampoline athlete and 'gtramper' as the community calls themselves. This "Sport Born on Instagram" as coined by the LA Times, has rapidly grown into a global phenomenon and Peter has been a the heart of it for many years, despite his young age. We discuss his life altering injury a year ago and how it changed his outlook on life when he broke his neck during a training session. I recommend that all parents of kids who flip or do gtramp watch this episode with their child, as it will give you an honest insight into this sport; including the dangers and what you can do to try and prevent them. This episode will hopefully make young flippers think twice about "going for it" when attempting new tricks they have not been properly trained to do.
Peter Landerholm is 17 years old and is from Seattle Washington. In his own words, here is his story: "Ever since I was a kid I loved being air born and upside down so finding gtramp was the perfect match for my love of acrobatics. My goals for the future are to keep pushing my limits and being able to flip for a long time in my future. When I broke my neck in 2 places I definitely thought my flipping career was over but as I recovered and got healthier my passion never left me. So now I’m just gonna see where this sport takes me and I look forward for the future."
Thank you Peter for sharing your story and giving us all your wonderful insights into this sport.
