I have done it, I have found the ultimate trampoline ski... It's the ski from a nordic track! Swear to god, all you need to do is either duct tape a pair of shoes to them or you can go the high class way and screw a pair of shoes into the wood and there you have it, the ultimate trampoline ski!

Now i just need a trampoline to test them out on.

heres a tip guys form my many pairs of tramp skis: 1. soft skis lick ass, you have to use all your energy to bounce even like 4 feet off the tramp.
2. stiff skis are wicked, i got double bounced and went about 10 feet high, but then they snapped in half. so in conclusion there is no right way to make good tramp skis which will last.

i know the perfect way

Get those nooddles that are used for swimming made of styrofoam,
cut them to about 175cm
tape them to your feet
and get some really short poles

I use cardboard skis that I made, reinforced with ductape to keep them from bending all that much. Then get velcro straps and put two on each...then jump with socks. Works REALLY well to practice x's and grabs...plus they are SUPER light so you don't even notice...

uhh, all of you are a bunch of wankers. can any of you think at all. useing real skis is idiotic. you cant get any air with them and they snap in half. What i did was take some card board and cut it to length and width. whatever length and width you want. mine are like 170's and as wide as dynastar concepts. then take like nine gauge wire and cut about 4-5 peices of that to the length of each ski. sandwich the wire between the cardboard and then ductape the hell out of them. tape some shoes in the center and your ready to go. this way the weight of skis is realistic, you can bounce high and when you fall the skis break instead of your legs. all in all they cost like 5 bucks to make. sorry if this is too complex for some of you dunderheads but your dueschbag ideas were pissing me off.

and if you would have read how to make them you would see that the wires are sandwiched between two peices of cardboard.

I use my snow skate on tramps. It so awesome for doing kick tricks and grabs. I guess you could use just a regular skateboard deck minus the trucks too. Go and try it, I can do so many awesome moves!

here's what I've been planning on doing. I tried it once, but I need to make them again:
I took some fairly stiff rubber tubing and cut it in half (it was like 1 meter long or so) down the length. I duct taped this to some old shoes. This way, when you bounce on the tramp they can fold up so you can still go down on the tramp, but they can't bend down cause of the curvature of the tubing. It's works great for working on grabs and spins, but not flips.
Word up to all the subie owners out there!

tubing? that seems like it would be uncomfortable...go for re-enforced cardboard, it bends just as well, and works great

when you just tape shoes on skis and jump on a trampoline it doesnt do shit. it doesnt feel like skiing at all, its just akward and it sucks big sloppy balls.

just wear some ankle weights, then youll have to throw harder to complete the trick, like on skis, same concept with the weight difference and all

that is true, but think of it this way, dial the trick on the tramp without weight...then when you do it on skis, throw it the exact same way, because most of the time (at least for me) I am going way bigger on skis than on a tramp...unless you get double bounced or have a sick training tramp...so then it all evens itself out in the end.

i don't know...wouldn't nordic track skis be kinda heavy? (and maybe sharp too so you might cut your tramp)

cut a skate deck in half and then tape some shoes on it, the skis are small, but long enough for most grabs.

ne1 ever worry about ripping their tramp? I do, so what I do is throw a blanket over it. it retains its bouncyness but never touch3es a sharp edge.
