Best Tramp Skis

I made a tramp snowboard that is very realistic.  I am also in the process of making trampoline skis that I think will be very realistic.  I am using 1in thick wooden planks that are 170cm long and 1.5 ft wide.  (sorry for the shit measurements).  I traced my skis outline on the wood using a black sharpie and mark where your bindings are currently on your real skis.  Then cut out the wooden skis using a jigsaw and mount your bindings.  Then using sandpaper dull the shit out of the edges and the tip and tail and you are good to go.  You might want to cover everything other than the binding with foam and ductape.

I would honestly make them like 140 cm out of plywood so they are lighter and won't snap quite as easily, however you may need to do more than one layer of them. Also wrap the entire ski in a foam material, then with duct tape over it and make sure there are no points at all, or else if you fail a backflip you could tear your trampoline.

I dont know if they are any good or not when jumping but they sure looks good.


Some swedish guys doing this as a school project and seems legit.
They made an video with Oscar Wester (Jacobs younger brother and superunknown finalist) when he is trying the first prototypes out on a real tramp.

Pretty sick video but i wish it had a lot more and different tricks in it!



I hope you enjoyed my post, if you want to buy that kind of skis just send them a email and ask them about it, because im not sure that they are actually starting up a buissnies or just doing this one pair of skis for school.

Thats a sick idea though, but you must cover all parts of the ski with a soft material

No he isn't going to jump on his tramp with wood, he is going to jump on my tramp with wood tramp skis. ssfalk just make sure the wood isn't too thick when you jump or you'll fuck up the mat on the tramp. Haha it's all good though

I am going to cover everything with foam.  Also I probably am not even going to use them.  I will probably just hang them on a wall because they look cook with the wood grain

You're gonna lose so much bounce. Your weight is distributed over a much larger area.

I'm in the process of making some dank tramp skis using my inner engineering genius. I will post a guide in gear talk this week when I finish them.

weve done decks, tramp bikes, board, skis, waterskis, and kneeboards  and use a ski rope for practice spins and flips

clearly the kneeboard or skateboard deck are the only things that are worthwhile.
