I used to go to home depot and get some small boards out of the 60 cent trash cans or whatever, duct tape them up, and slap some old shoes on em

or you could just attach knives to the bottom of your shoes and it would still have the same effect. i kid i kid

I know people who use pool tubes, like the floaties, its kindof gay but it works, they cut holes in the center so you can put your feet in, and it wont wreck your trampoline like the suggestions above, unfortunately you dont get used to the weight, only the general idea. I just bounce normally, works fine for me!

for the sake of having posted in 30 threads like this. or something along those numbers: tramp skis are pointless. use the tramp without any tramp skis/boards to get used to the rotation and improve air-awareness. trying to use tramp skis will do nothing to help your skiing.

really though. tramp skis don't help anything.

If you're trying to get used to the weight, just bounce with your ski boots on. Duct tape the bottoms if there are any sharp edges

I tried making tramp skis just for fun. I taped skis off a gt racer onto my feet.
