I don't know much about the "Canadian Tire specials", but on professional trampolines you should cover up your bases with cardboard as the edges will cut the threading on the web. Unless you're a really good weaver, this is a bad thing...

sicyo,

a trampoline is easily the best investment i have made.... they keep you super fit if you jump on em every day, you can learn sick tricks, have a gnarly air sense, and they better your skiing 40000 percent.... i got mine from canadian tire for 402 bones, flat... i reccomend that if you want something ski like, just do cardboard cutouts... because i ductaped the shit outta my edges, and they still tore up the tramp..... also tape up your pole tips, cause our tramp got worked because of it.... at the start of the summer i could do misty with grabs, and now i can do cork 12 tail grabs on my canadian tire tramp... shows how sick you get

ya tramps are the funnest thing in the entire world... mine kept me entertained throughout the summer...if you get a canadian tire tramp cross the springs and you will be able to jump higher.

The gymnastics ones are much more expensive than the canadian tire specials, but they're worth it if you have the cash. I used my tramp all summer, and it was great. Make sure to tape your edges, and using full length skis makes it super hard to bounce, so try kids skis, or snowlerblades, cuz they're no good for anything else.

does tramping really help your skiing? I can backflip and 360 back, 720 front and stuff, does that mean i could prob backflip with enough air on skis?

Depends on whether you land your tramp tricks on the same spot you take off from. If you don't, then I'd say you're hucking and haven't learned the proper mechanics of safe flips.

Others will just say,
Don't be a wuss! Just do it!
