i never say this, and i dont mean it to be mean, but check the searchbar. every summer this comes up. they dont really do anything anyway, but if you really feel like making some, check the searchbar.

try using cardboard and a pair of old shoes and some duck tape and make sure that the cardboard is long enough to fit the length of your ski.try treying your skis with a marker on the cardboard to make it feel like the same size as your actual ski. the you can work on tramp grabs. jea

I used my skis, duct tapped the edges, threw boots on and voila!. if you take some cloth and then wrap the edges, and then put duct tape around it, it work very well.

just go get a short pair of skis at a garage sale that fit your boots, ducktape the edges, and you have some tramp ski (long skis don't work as well due to the flex that happens with the tamp)

those corrugated plastic coated marketing signs that you see lining the highways works well.  tape together about 4 layer to a pair of shoes and your golden.

Try not to use your good skis on it because it will wear them out if you do it enough.

Mine are cardboard with wire duct taped around the edges. they were still a little too floppy so i duct taped fiberglass tent rods to the top of them and they work really well.

ive used the plastic crap that they make garden dividers with,and that worked really well.its easy to cut,too.also the thin,flexible particle board stuff.its hard to cut,though,and it breaks fairly easily.

i just mounted some kids snowboard bingings my friend had laying around onto some 2x4s, works like a charm and you don't have to waste a pair of shoes. i rounded off the tips of the planks similar to a boat shaped.

I just used my old juvys with boots, seen as they're tiny they dont do any damage to the trampoline.

This guy is right, i made tramp skis last year out of cardboard and plywood. it takes a while to make them good, plus once you get on your tramp you dont jump as high.

unless you have someone double bounce you...should have tried that...

I made a tramp board and tramp skis one day a few years ago.  I used cardboard and layered it, then wood glued it together.  It worked pretty good.  I tied an old pair of shoes on with shoe laces.  Its much more fun jumping on the tramp with a fake board than fake skis, I don't why, but its easier and you can do more stuff.
