Dont jump with youre wakeboard attached to you on your trampoline what you should do is get an old skateboard deck or the cheapest one you can find from a place like toys r us say. Then you can either duck tape your shoes down to the deck Or you can get a pair of shoe lasses and put them through the holes where the screws go and just tie down your feet like you tie up your running shoes (recommend you wear shoes while doing this). If you do decided to jump with your wakeboard on take your fins of i wouldnt try it though.

Defintely use a skateboard deck and not a wakeboard. weby, good advice.

ontrider, haha no I haven't. I don't really feel the need to actually have a board there. I think I would fall off if my feet were strapped in. I come close to falling off all the time anyways...

I'm working on the HS Mobe and Pete Rose right now. I can rotate the spin about 3/4 of the way on both. Is yours still out of commission?

It was 73 yesterday on my day off so I got some good jumping in.

i wish there was somewhere i could put a rope up so i could do some proper wakeboarding practice at my house instead of always going over to freinds houses to practice.

Wakebrad, definitely! Laughing

probably will be until May too, we get a lot of snow there. I get short of breath pretty quick on that thing in the freezing cold anyway!

That's cool with the mobes... the Pete was kind of a bitch at first, but try doing really stalled out ts r2r with the grab and then it should be easy to make the last 180 and the pass.

And I agree with the skate deck. I have enough trouble landing without it, I almost went over the damn net last year.

I made a board out of plywood (1/2 inch i think)
I then used Gorilla Glue to glue black foam around the edges (the kind you wrap water pipes with for insulation..looks like those water noodles, only split, and really long)
I then wrapped the entire board in duct tape, and bolted these old sandle bindings I got off Ebay.

If you use a solid board, it deadens the bounce of the trampoline over time. Just wait untill spring. There's a kind of board coming out that will really help, and it doesn't kill your trampoline.

thats pretty sweet idea, cause that is a PAIN IN THE ASS to duct tape shoes to a skate deck cause after a day of jumping the tape is loose and you have to re-do it, plus it uses a hell of alot of tape

i have done the ol' shoes duct taped to a skate deck. I did it once. I used a butt-load of tape, and it's been stuck together ever since. It sits out in the rain, and it's still holding together pretty well. Just used it the other day. The only crappy part,..........i liked those shoes.

oh yeah, and i haven't tried using my wakeboard for two reasons:
1. I get the feeling that it's possible if i landed on the nose or tail of it, it could rip a pretty good sized hole in my tramp.
2. The wakeboard is like 8 times as heavy as the skate deck, and if i fell pretty bad, it prolly wouldn't feel too good getting hit with it.

i tried using my old wakeboard and just ductaped the edges and it worked okay, but it was really hard to get a good bounce without someone else bouncing you, then you'd have to make sure you don't hit them in the face with the board. the only trick i was ever able to do with the wakeboard was a backflip and front flip and it was kind of scary cuz i thought i might screw my ankle of knee up really bad
