How do you make tramp skis?

Answer 1

1. Get some pool noodles, the ones with holes through them. Find some that aren't too thick or but you dont want skinny thin ones either If the hole in the middle is bigger that will help too.

These worked for me... you have to buy 6, but you can make more if they get old or have different shoe sizes....

2. Get some old shoes, vans worked for me, you dont want them too wide.

3. Find the middle of the noodle and the middle of your shoe mark the noodle where your shoe starts and ends on the noodle and cut a slit between the 2 points.

4. If you cant fit your shoe in yet then cut a little bit more on each side until you shoe can fit in with the noodle wrapping up around your shoe (its doesn't fully enclose your shoes but should just wrap around them.

5. Next put your foot in and ducktape snugly, not so tight so you can get your foot out, but so that it will stay on when jumping. you wil also want to tape in front and behind your shoe to prevent taring.

(Tip: when you tape your heels down, take it off and take out the foot bed, then tape wrapping it into the shoe a few times then put the footbed back in and it will be nice and comfy.)

You should be good to go if you really want you can add more duck tape where necessary for ripping or strength these are great for grabs and simple stuff. I have tried a lot of different things, wood just breaks, real skis with duck tape are too heavy, cardboard just bends and gets floppy after 1 trick. these should last a good amount of time and are lightweight You also cant hurt yourself if you fall on them.
