Tramp skis

alright so, i just got a tampoline to help perfect corks and rodeos and stuff, but the other day i had this great idea.

Why not make some tramp skis out of 2 skateboard decks but just taping them to your feet?

Great idea right?

wrong

i was doing good till i failed at a rodeo 5 (which wouldn't have been a problem if i didnt have 2 boards duct taped to my feet) and i clacked my ankle against the board and now i hurts like hell

so today i was feeling better and decided to wrap cardboard around one of the decks and use it as a tramp snowboard

this idea worked really well but there is a problem

i dont snowboard

so is there anyone who has made a pair of trampskis that was successfull

(picks of the tramp snowboard up later)

I have done it with old skis with hockey tape on the edges. Just wear ski boots. It wasn't all that fun tho

get those foam tubes that kids use in the pool, cut open a place for shoes to go in and tape them for support.

i put some duct tape around this flexy plastic stuff and it works great. it bends but doesnt noodle around. after that i just screwed a pair of shoes on and made sure the screws didnt poke through.

I made some out of a couple layers of cardboard taped together and they work great, not too durable though
