Take an old skate deck, strip it down and glue some old shoes on it and ur good to go.

I would do the skate deck idea, wakeboard on the tramp is just asking for trouble, its alright for grabs if you are already comfortable on the trampoline. But if you land off balance, or on the top side of the board you can get it a bad spot real quick, not to mention the damage you could do to the bed of the trampoline with the edges of the board.

i wish i could have something like a skateboard size deck but the weight of a wakeboard..would make the practice feel much more realistic..

I would say get a beat up wakeskate and glue old shoes to that or the skateboard thing.

I usually use an old skateboard deck with a pair of shoes screwed on to it (grinded the ends of the screws off). Here is a pic of me with my wakeboard on doing a backroll

I don't member what trick I was trying but Paul I think your right it might have been a frontroll.

Be patient boys and forget the skatedecks or other crap on the Tramp. Rumor has it Mike Ferraro is comming out with a "real" trampboard this spring that will truly mimic a wakeboard or snowboard on the trampoline...spread the word!!

A trampoline manufacturer named Jumpsport makes a board designed specifically for use with trampolines.

Bounceboard

You can check out their site at www.jumpsport.com.

Sorry, the Bounce Board is just a slab of foam with a hole for grabs??? (start drilling holes all over your wakeboards better grip!)..Let's get real, wait for Ferraro's boards, I'm hearing Men's, woman's and Kids models. Built in flex and weight adjustable, real bindings. Nothing will touch it!

how much tho???

Who makes a good outdoor tramp. Mine seems to lose it "spring" too quickly. I will spend more money I just want something to launch me and not go flat. DO they come w/ covers? I would think the elements would be partially to blame.

wakedude2rock 10-14-2005, 3:13 PM

I can only imagine they'll be competitivly priced for what it will offer.Obviously there's a huge market, not just wakeboarders but snowboarders, kiteboarders..etc. and anyone else interested in air awareness training.Not to mention just plain fun! Maybe even an extreme sport unto itself?..I could see it.

wakedude2rock 10-14-2005, 7:21 PM

P.S. Sorry, I didn't mean to slam the bounce board, they saw the need and tried to fill it.They were on the right track...Just wanted to let you know, rumor has it, the next level is comming!
