If something is gonna break, its your trampoline. Your skis tip can go through the trampoline

I've done it, duct taped my edges on a pair of old semi-short skis. It was really fun, nothing broke, and I went inverted for the first time with skis on feet.
The problem is that you get tired really quick. You can't get any good airtime, well I believe that if you have a large trampoline it might be possible. It can be nasty if the ski ejects and you land on it.
But overall it was a fun experience, not a lot of work behind it, recommended at lazy boring summer days. And of course it is good training, your pop is going to improve a lot more till the winter.

Currently waiting for op to jump on his tramp and be surprised that his edges cut the tramp.

Yea did the same as above just ducked taped an old pair of twins and it worked great. I did a few lincolns, but anything else feels super sketch, if you have a super bouncy tramp it will work alot better mine was wider and pretty stiff so it was really hard to get good air on it with skis.

also if you have sharp edges put some rags underneath the duct tape and you should be golden!

Normal skis are heavy. Duct tape some old shoes to two pieces of light flexible wood and you'll have better luck

You both possess much larger balls than I do.

You could also build some skis from polystyrene or something similar. Just Tape some shoes to it and you'll be fine. Using actuall skis on tramp can be quite fun to practice grabs or just trying how fast you can flip but it's too damn sketchy and you cant get height.

I have jumped on a friends tramp with his tramp skis which were completely wrapped in duct tap they had zero bounce and were just shitty if you don't want to spend 500 dollars on terrible tramp skis take an old foam sled and cut out skis out can design them with sharpies and shit you can use if you want you can tape shoes on for binding or punch/burn holes in them and make binding straps out of shoelaces/rope/ or tape and just slip your shoe or foot in and out. The only problem with this is they can get caught and bend so you might want to reinforce with thin wood so they are still light and tight

Yea man its possible. It just ruins your tramp if your edges arent covered.
