Hey I wonder if it's good to train on trampolnie with my old ski boots on. They weight about 5-6kg. I know heavy as hell.. And I am getting new boots for this season. Thinking of Full Tilts Drop Kicks and theyre like half of the weight of my boots? + Lines afterbangs (184cm) together weight like 5kg? AM I RIGHT?
And please tell me if this is any good way to train for the winter...

Adding weight is a good idea. However old boots aint the way to do it. Go grab some ankle weights a few kilos and you'll be good.

Relax man. Just go get ankle weights, you'll still be able to feel the deck but you'll have the momentum of the weight

I took the inside of my old ski boots and i duct tape some ankle weights to my boots and took 2 noodles and put a soft plumbing tube in the noodle hole and taped the ends so the noodles arent floppy when i jump and my weighs about 8 pounds i know its not the weight of the skis and whole boots with the ski suit but it does help.

Don't wear ski boot on a tramp. You won't be able to bounce very well since you have no foot movement. I don't find ankle weights help at all but you can try them.tramp helps with air awareness and will always feel different than skis. If you really want to help your skiing try to set the tricks you are learning from a standing position. It will help you feel how the trick will feel from just popping without the bounce of the tramp. As for summer set ups check out the build a Jib cult.

You'll tear the shit out of your tramp with ski boots. I also like messing around with ankle weights.

this^ You have so much less control bouncing with boots on. You will jump off the tramp much easier.

if anything, use your skis and boots, just duct tape the edges and practice.
