put about 6 layers of duck tape on covering the edges bases tips and tails and you be set. make the bottoms of your poles into balls of duck tape so they dint go through

I have a tramp board thing (like a snowboard) specifically designed for the trampoline and my brother and his friend emailed the company to see if they would make tramp skis and they said they would so we gave them an idea of what we want and they sent us so prototypes to try out and they were pretty sick. i think we are gonna fix them a bit before they are finished but once its perfected they will prolly sell the 'tramp skis' that we made.

in my experiences using real skis suck because you cant flip realistically, unless your tramp is super tight and you can boost. So last week i got fed up with the cardboard and had a breakthrough. I got some vinyl siding and cut it o the width and lenght i want it. Renforced it underfoot by layering the vinyl and then duct taping it all together with a pair of old shoes. They work really well because the vinyl is flexible enough that it doesn't dampen your bounce but stiff enough that doing grabs feels real.

just put tape on it... but just to let you know its almost impossible to get more than 2 feet high... the surface area of the skis absorbs the shock... you can try it though
