Has anyone made tramp skis? I think I wanna take my old trouble makers and make a tramp pair like duct tape the edges so they dont cut my tramp.

i just used noodles and tapped them to my feet using real skis doesnt let you bounce unless you have a real gymnastic tramp but then you still have to get some small skis

dont use real skis they will be to heavy. Make somthing out of cardboard or somthing like that.

all you need is 3 things
1. cardboard
2. coat hangars
3. duct tape

use the coat hangars to give the skis some rigidity and duct tape to seal the deal and make bindings.

I just ran a line of caulking down some edges, and then like 3 layers of duct tape over that

i made some where i made a core with two pieces of soft foad for the ski part and a wood plate for the bindings. then i wrapped that all with tape for rigidness. then i wrapped taht in cardboard and tape. pretty solid, prolly gonna add coathangers though.

^ no ankle support.

do this

1- get old skis
2- get old hockey skates
3- take off the blades on skates
4- glue them to the skis
5- go tramping

hockey skates have great support and they're light without the blade, the boot alone is fairly comfy and your feet won't die of heat. go and do that right now
