New Patent Pending Bounceboard(TM)

bounceboard · Newbie Joined: 04 Apr 2005 Posts: 7 City: Boise

Try a new Bounceboard(TM) to hone your wakeboarding skills on a trampoline. Soft and waterproof so you can use it on floating trampolines and jumping from boats and docks too! Students at the University of Oregon's aerial maneuvers class give it a big thumbs up! Get an edge on the competition and practice those tricks without damaging your trampoline.

Sorry but we already decided a long time ago, this was a waste of money!

You need to make it look more Ghetto! something more in line with an old sk8 deck and some vans duck-taped to the top.

J_DOGG - Agreed. There's no way I'd pay $100 for a piece of foam... I'd rather keep using an old skate deck, wreck the tramp every year, and have Wal-Mart give me a new one under warranty!

matt1808, haha , totally skipped the link , thanks bud Wink

and after reading the description , id have to say no thanks on that one. they say its lighter than other foams , i dont think theres any way any type of foam can weigh near as much as a board would. it just wouldnt be good to throw what have you on the tramp with this thing and then go on the water and totally eat it due to the weight factor. not for me.

The smaller the cell of the foam, the more expensive it is. This has to be tough and flexible and that makes it spendy. A good body surfing board in Hawaii will cost you over $300 but you can buy one for day use at a discount store for $15.
Most Mom's are like me and they would not be happy if you ripped through the surface of your trampoline with and old skateboard. We are coming out with a Bounceboard that has raised letters with the names of tricks on the deck and it will look more ghetto. Stay tuned we are new. The cost will come down in years to come but if you can't wait go in with some friends. Be careful out there. the Mom Smile

how do you rip a trampoline with a skateboard? they are rounded.

I don't know THC, but I've yet to see it happen... If you're that anal just put ductape around the edges.

bounceboard - you're a mom at 18 huh? Interesting... I'd assume that's a picture of your son in your profile right? And I can't wait for the cost to come down - but rather than buy a piece of foam for $100, I think I'll stick to my skate deck, thank you very much.

Numberone_Newbie1 - The tramp comes with a 1 year warranty, and we end up breaking the legs on it every year, and Wal-Mart keeps replacing it... So we get a brand new tramp every spring...

I put a 3 inch gash in my tramp with my weed rake, Yes I almost cried when it happened...

1 year later it still looks the same size and the tramp is fine. I'm no light-weight either, almost 200lbs of pure man muscle jumping on that thing every night of the week! he he he..(he said man muscle) he he he...

bounceboard, my mom doesnt like my tramp much, she prolly wants me to rip it...I understand you want top help your son out, but i dont think many wakeboarders will be into this...We already have to buy expensive gear we NEED...we dont wanna throw down 100, for something to use on a tramp when we can use and old skate deck and 10 buck walmart shoes...My tramp board cost me less than 10 including tax. I found a skateboard in the duitch by my house, took off the trucks, and went to walmart on a day their shoes were on sale and bought the cheap velcro ones so everyone can fit...

waste of 100 dollars, get some friggin wood, cut it out and duct tape it and staple some shoes to it, there we go.... nice and ghetto.

Wood = priceless
Ducttape=Priceless
shoes= priceless

bounceboard=100 dollars

hmmmm...

Actually I'm kind of interested. I'm a little older than most of the wakeboarders on this site (i'm guessing) at 26 and can afford to throw $100 at a maybe-idea. However, I have size 14 feet---how far out will my toes be sticking?

DadKid · Outlaw Joined: 21 Jan 2005 Posts: 140 City: Ottawa

I can afford a $100 accessory. It's the cost of a boat that is scary. Having said that I bought some anchor bolts yesterday, "borrowed" my kid's skateboard, and built my own . I tried it out this am, fell back on the handle, wrenched my thumb, and now I'm typing with one hand. Learned the hard way that it's important to take off and land on 2 feet. Crying or Very sad

My feet are size 13. Sorry I didn't reply sooner. I've been out on my new to me 2001 Centurion. Look at the picture of me on my web site and you can get an idea. I am 6'4" My toes hang over a bit. You could modify the heal pads to make more room. Sorry but I am sold out but I saw a guy on E-bay selling them for $85 and free shipping. Search for Bounce Board. Thanks for the support. Chris

K-wood Kid · Posted: Jul 19, 2005 9:29 pm Post subject:

Numb foot and Mitchell I challenge you to a tramp off. Not because I want to show off but because I'm tired of you thinking your awesome at life. Put together a video strapped in or not on the tramp and we shall compare.

numbfoot · Posted: Jul 19, 2005 9:52 pm Post subject:

K-wood Kid, dude i'm not accepting your challenge to a tramp off until i get my free bounce board!!!!! j/k. haha r u serious about the tramp off? i don't have a trampoline. i used to but it broke. haha.

Mitchell · Posted: Jul 19, 2005 10:33 pm Post subject:

numbfoot · Posted: Jul 19, 2005 10:36 pm Post subject:

Okay, Mitchell, K-wood Kid, you will each make a video no shorter than 4 minutes, no longer than 5. You will be judged on amplitude, style, and difficulty of tricks. I'll score you 1-10 on each catagory. The deadline for the video is this saturday. On your marks, get set, go!!!!!!!!! Mr. Green

K-wood Kid · Posted: Jul 19, 2005 11:05 pm Post subject:

I'm down for a video maybe not 4 minutes but i'll have straight tramp then with board attached(if I can put one together) and with wakeskate nto attached. It will be in before the end of August (family vacation and school starts and wakeboard tourneys but I'll get R done

EDIT: I'll throw together a teaser from the other night when we lit up the tramp and had a night sesh. Probably up tomorrow night-ish
