no matter how small the skiis are you canot bounce at all like its hard to do a 180 the closest thing to use is snow blades and tape the edges and put shoes in the bindings and tape tape tape

ok i've thought of this before

get one pool noodle, cut it in half (hot dog cut). get an old pair of shoes.

attach one half on the outside of each shoe. add wood/metal rod in small hole to make noodle stiffer.

this way, you could still bounce to your full potential with shoes, and be able to grab skis?

just an idea.

I wouldn't use real skis at all personally, seems dangerous for you and the trampoline. Ideally you'd want something stiff enough to grab (that's what she said) but soft enough that if and when you land tips first into the tramp they won't break or do any damage.

Snowboarding on a tramp is actually really fun, I was using my friends and you can actually do some sweet stuff on it, was able to rodeo and spin up to 9, if you can get an old snowboard or use a friends, I suggest you try it

me and my friend took a pair of his old skis and duct taped the edges a good amount. and then took a pair of old shoes and duct taped them to the shoe from the front and on the heel we took some screws and mounted them to the ski. the shoes are impossible to fall of but is hard to keep your feet in them. try to figure out hwo to perfect them and ill give you props.

i took an old pair of skis and cut them down real short and went over the edges in duct tape with only a few layers and they have been working great. not damaging the trampoline, and you said you were just looking to work on your grabs and small spins so this should work just fine

instead of taping shoes to your trampoline skis, get some rubber boots in the right size so they wont slip off of your feet when you spin fast.

This is the set up I use to jib. It's a skate board with snowboard bindings with the highbacks removed and mounted on the tail (drill holes in) and over the front truck holes. To make it, the screws go UPWARDS so as not to ruin the tramp. Duct tape the bottom of the board for grip and to cover the screw heads.

Now you may have hours of fun. This vid clip is unedited just to show what its like. We have done MANY set ups including multiple rails on the tramp for a slopestyle, using scaffolding for a 5 foot high raised jib deck, rail slides off the tramp... many things, little footage.

Pool noodles are simple, inexpensive and work great. Just tape the pool noodle to the outside of an old pair of shoes and you will be solid. If you want something more rigid, use small pvc pipe to support the pool noodle.

This is what i do and works great.

duck tape or drill shoes on but usually will be a little too heavy to do any tricks other than grabs and spins

i took two skateboards and cut them both in the middle so they were like 4 inches wide then screwed shoes on with washers and filles the screwheads on the bottom down and they work really well

WE FIGURED IT OUT what you do is take a big noodle that has a hole goin through it then cut 1/2 inch or 1 inch pvc in half hot dog way with table saw and cut noodle hot dog and stick the half pvc in the half noodle then ducktape it all together. the side thats on the trampoline is the flat side. Next you cut ouf a section on the circular side where you want your shoe and you tape it on. this works great for like 360-540 learning new grabs

I would recommend not using real skis, or at least a helmet...I fucked myself up pretty good doing it.
