Ns, Im thinking about putting on my skis and trying stuff on the trampoline with them. Do you think this is a good idea because I think it sounds pretty sick.

searchbar, but
its okay but you dont get much air at all and youmight want to tape your edges so you dont cut the tramp

I would suggest taking an old pair of shoes and attaching them to some tyoe of light soft material with duct tape or something of the sort. I made some sketchy ones out of old shoes and wood, and they work ok, but they hurt when they hit your shins.

With real skis your not going to bounce high at all or be able to do any grabs which is basically the point of using them on the trampoline n the first place

just get 2 pool noodles and cut out a hole for old shoes/feet and tape in there.

DUDE! i tried it, it works fine, you get the same amount of height, only thing is they will get destroyed after a while from landing on them wrong but they're fun for a day, the bad thing about it is they're circular so it kinda plays around with your ankle and if you land really sideways it hurts pretty bad

Get pool noodles and thread plastic strips or something flexible down the middle of them so the noodle is ridged but flexible. Then tape up so they don't rip and attach shoes. Done

I ended up just using one of my backyard snowboards (even though I ski) It was actually really fun!!! I tried to make tramp skis out of cardboard like the kid in the video but it sucked. haha

What I did is went to walmart, bought a 5 dollar super flimsy snowboard then cun it in half vertically, then duct taped shoes to it and was perfect because you could do grabs and stuff but still jump high

I've made tramp skis before and the best way to do it is take some snowblades, ducktape, and some old shoes and cover the blades completely with tape couple layers so it doesnt fall off and while you put those layers on tape the shoes. Best way so you can actually throw some cool tricks. Go hit up some olympic tramps. Then throw down!!

old ghetto pair of skis. old pair of bindings and boots. foam insulation tubing w/ already applied stick solvent. together-works amazingly. dont have to worry about cutting up your trampoline!

Whatever you do, dont try a backflip without a helmet. I did and it didnt end well.

6 stitches later it was all good. But I caught the tips on the tramp, fell foward, and then the tails stabbed me twice in a row, which left a nasty gaping head wound and a blood stained tramp. Good times.

I did the same thing but without the foam. Just duct tape, shoes and snow blades. It works great.

No! This does not work. I tried it, it sucks and you just roll your ankle a ton, no matter what your try. I experimented with this a ton, and nothing worked very well. Just duct tape all over a pair of skis you dont care about, until they're basically covered, and use that.
