Does your weight effect how high you jump on a trampoline?
no.even though if you weight more the force will be greater but it takes more force away to get you high in the air. Yes it does but it varies very much on the trampoline. Department store trampolines use shorter springs with less tension and light or heavy people will get about the same bounce. High end trampolines use long stiff springs and a 30 lb child will find it much more difficult to get any air compared to someone with 100+ lbs.

You should be able to get them at any sporting goods store. Probably you want 3/8" spikes, because on most high jump shoes the spikes are recessed into the platform-like bottom of the shoe. You'd probably trip if they were longer and you wouldn't want anything longer than that on any decent high jump surface. Make sure you put the heel spikes in, because they help you get a more secure plant when you take off. Take it from a 7'1" high jumper-just so you know your source is credible.
