Can a “Tramp Bike” really teach you MTB tricks?

When I was 15, I modified an old BMX bike for use on a trampoline. We called these trampoline bikes, or “tramp bikes".

Today, we'll build a tramp bike of our own, and attempt to bust some tricks on it.

Seth: let’s get a trampoline for our daughter!
Seth’s wife: yeah that’s a great idea!

It's amazing how Seth continues to be so creative and consistent. I can't think of anyone else in the MTB genre with more original content, and it's very beginner/intermediate friendly unlike most other channels. And most of them just do POV which Seth has never relied on. Such a terrific storyteller!

We left the crank arms on ours, just covered by towels and foam and zip ties and shirts and all sorts of stuff to keep from busting through. Helped a lot more to get the true feel for tricks and body positioning.

Back in my BMX days, my buddy had a trampoline bike, but we left the cranks on with no chainring and some crappy plastic pedals. That way you got used to having to get your feet back to the pedals too

I look forward to seeing Seth and Kevin doing synchronized trampoline in the Paris 2024 summer Olympics.

It's amazing how much energy you exert on a trampoline.

I want to add some tips of mine: The biggest two factors are from my experience: The weight of the bike and the quality of the trampoline(how good it sends you in the air, and a big saftey thing is having a net. I crashed in the net many times). I would pick up a used BMX for cheap, but pay attention, that its not as heavy as a semi truck...
Also if you want to have the feeling of pedals, you can take the pegs of a BMX, put a threaded bar through them and put that through your bottom bracket and put some nuts on the threaded bar with some washers and now you can stand on it. But also wrap the pegs in something soft, so you can a) better stand on it and b) to protect the trampoline. Its complicated to describe and if you dont put enough thinking into it, it might break some stuff, but for me it worked.

Seths channel is so amazing bc his content is so accessible for newer riders. Probably the first MTB channel I watched and inspired me.

Hey seth probably been watching for around a year now and I love your content, you were the first mtb YouTube creator I ever watched lol. Thanks for the inspiration to go out and ride and thanks for teaching me so I could catch up to my friends haha

I love this all for the fact that I learned nearly all of my aggressive in-line tricks on a trampoline. This is also 20+ years ago and while I can’t do those tricks on actual blades I can still do nearly all of them on a trampoline. This makes my heart happy

Best dip for those wanting to do this at home is go to a swimming pool shop and use a pool cover over the frame, its basically a super heavy-duty, thick and hard-wearing bubble wrap. the frame won't pierce through it and it won't hurt if it wacks into you

When I made my trampoline bike I cut tennis balls in half and duct taped them over the ends of the fork and the rear dropouts. It’s able to take a lot more abuse than just pool noodles. It was cool to see you make one of these! 🤟

Mind blowing is that Seth is only 5'4. Dude was made for this sport.

The trampoline bike helped me so much with Barspins. It builds your muscle memory so good and the first one I tried to dirt went flawless because of it.

Learnt a lot of trick on a tramp bike. The took them to flyout, then box jump then to dirt, no foam pits around when I rode BMX! Even when I got back into BMX and MTB, still made a teamp bike (I was over 30 by this stage) and still kept the same progression, except threw in a foam pit before fly outs. Now in my 40s, I need my grandson to grow up a bit so Pop can "buy him a trampoline" just like Seth did for his daughter haha

I used tennis balls for the drop outs and forks. Biggest take away I had from mine was just body position and and bike position under me. Really helped with gaining confidence to let go of the bars.
