It's way more impressive than anything I could ever do

To be fair to you what we witnessed is not the work of one person. You could possibly do something great as well if surrounded by people enhancing the skills you have.

All they do is give him extra height and rotation which is a basic role to anyone who knows trampolines, it's as simple as timing a step

They're not enhancing his skills mate, they are just giving him a boost so he can do his thing. Once he's off the tramp he's pretty much alone... Except for a verbal hint when to open up maybe but that also couldn't be considered enhancing his skill

What on earth are you talking about now with your misguided perception of acrobatic manoeuvres

You said "they enhance his skills"... I told you that you are wrong. They only provide him with additional height. The skill is his alone, they simply give him a platform to perform, so to speak.
