Does anyone have any ideas on how I can my tramp skis? I hat the idea of using some like 3/4 inch pvc pipe, but I am still unsure of it. Also, does anyone know how to make a throw pad for a tramp?

Pickle jars and tons of Vaseline. Don’t ask questions, just trust me.

2 wooden yard sticks work pretty well. Theyre hell light so you can still jump but enough "ski" to get some grabs going. Also flexy.

Sure there's better less ghetto things you could do but that would be easy and basically free lol

Don’t waste your time with pvc your ankles buckle because it’s not a flat surface and you can’t even jump
go to Home Depot and look around for something plastic and flat

I used a set of small XCountry skis i found and duck taped a pair of shoes to them.
Worked like fucking charm.

You can take 4 pool noodles, a pair of old shoes, and duck tape and make skis out of that. First you make the “skis” with the noodles by duck taping 2 of the noodles together. Then you attach the old shoes to the top with the duck tape. They’re jank but you also they’re less than like 15 dollars.

dont do this, they aren't fun and you wont get any power out of your jumps. If anything duct tape pieces of pool noodle to the front and back of shoes to get the feeling of the length and getting ur grabs
