Flip Out Trampolines

Hahaha, just had a mental image of clocking someone bouncing around with a snowboard xD

I thought about making one myself a while ago. But never got around to it.

Snowboard Addiction, make a short board with binding holes, so you can strap in with your boots, and has a foarm base.
Its about $160… but just looking at it… dosent look to hard to make something like that.

Mold some fibre glass. using a cardboard cut out.
Have someone like clark rubber add a layer of rubberfoam to the base.
Vynil wrap the top for a nice look.
Drill some holes.
???
Flip out and profit.

Then when you KO someone you only have to worry about blunt force trauma, and not cutting a gash in their head with your edge. raspberry

But a board with a bit more rigidity, could be used as a balance board for practicing rails as well.

This is the board that h0z and Marten have. It works well.

Ah nice, once i move, i might look more into one.
The idea of making one is appealing.

They just opened one of those bounce house places in Canberra, so could check that out.

So I made one out of an old skatey, bought some thick thermal leggings from woolies for $16, cut the legs off, slid both legs over the skatey and screwed bindings to the board using screws too short to go all the way through.
