The act of coming to a pregame or social gathering without bringing anything, just to get the free food/booze before going out to the actual party you were planning on attending.
Oh my god, are your floormates coming to our party? They are totally just springboarding before going out to the frats.
Man, last time that dude came over to our place he drank our beer and went to the city afterwards to go clubbing. What a springboarder.

When a woman dates a lesser man, in secrecy, when her real agenda is using him to propel herself into greater things and men. The man, who is the victim, is considered the springboard. Often the lady is in college, or trying to lose weight, between jobs, and once this accomplishment is met, she then springs off to greener pastures.
"Dude I can't believe you've been with such a hot chick for over a year now."
Friend : "Man, once she finishes college and hits the gym its over. She is just using you as a springboard to greater success."

When someone enrolls at one college for the sole purpose of transferring into another college the very next year. This is often done because they can't get into their first pick when they first apply because their high school grades aren't good enough to get them into there, so they enroll at another college that they did get accepted into, get better grades at that college, then apply to their first pick again as a transfer student.
"Bailey's transferring to another college next year."
"Did he change his major or something?"
"Nah, that college was his first pick in high school, but he didn't get in at first."
"So he's springboarding."
