I saw a video of an Olympic gymnast Nile Wilson solving the cube on the trampoline while doing a somersault every 5 bounces. Here it is.
I love watching Nile's vlogs and this challange was especially interesting for me so I took my cube and went to the trampolines club the next day After a couple of tries, I got a 35ish seconds solve. I was trying to do a flip every 3 jumps, becaue 5 seemed way too boring.
Here is my video (uncut, sorry, the thing starts at 0:30 and ends at 1:10)
The next logical thing for me was doing it blindfolded. I can't flip with my eyes closed yet, so I just tried doing memo and then exec without looking at the cube while still bouncing.
I got 1:22 after a lot tries. Reasons for all DNFs (they were actually give-ups) were a commutator execution being interrupted by a backflip, where it's impossible to recover So I developed a little tactic to do a 3BLD while doing a flip every 3 jumps. I basically prepare to do a commutator and then start executing it right after the backflip landing. 2 extra bounces is enough to complete the execution and think about the next one, and so on.
I want to do it sub-1 now. I will film it hopefully this weekend and upload on my channel, not *unlisted* this time
