Skis on trampoline?

So I want to practice grabs on the tramp while wearing skis, but not totally sure if it'll work. Has anyone ever tried this before and had it work? Also is there any risk of your edges cutting the trampoline?

I know that you can buy firm-foam skis for trampolines

heres a link I found, but they're REALLY overpriced

It doesn't work. Skis are too stiff compared to the trampoline so you don't get half the bounce you would if you didn't have them on.

Your better off making your own. These are way to much for some foam skis.

don't waste your time. practice dubs into your yard. it will be way more beneficial.

I used one of those sleds with plastic on the bottom and cut 2 little ski shaped things in them and duck taped socks to them and they work pretty well.

I've done it before. It's incredibly hard to jump more than 6 inches high, so all I could really do were sketchy 3's. And if you do it, be careful because ski edges can cut your trampoline. You're better off just making some skis out of pool noodles.

I tried pool noodles

Long story short:

Don't do it

bad idea. they get caught up and dampen ur bounce.
