Re: Anyone out there with jumping stilts(powerizers)
Kwl i got the powerizers m80 as well at first.There good. dnt worry i bottom mine out all the time and i still go like 5-6feet. Stiffer 1s are abit harder on the back. Anyway hope you like them and hav fun. never no might see u bouncing round accy[quote=riks006;505301] PoweriZer M80, its a size up from what I would have gone for but searching in different forums on the subject, it was made clear there was a possibility of bottoming them out once I was good enough.
I paid £149 for them, I knew there were different models and prices, I felt that if I was still on them after 6 -12 months then maybe upgrade.
I got them from play.com. Free delivery.
Actually I should get them Thursday.
p.s. I hope you don't feel the aches too much.

I wouldn't say that everyone who laughs at you and your stilts are just 'jealous', I'm sure there are many people who genuinely think theyre ridiculous

Re: Anyone out there with jumping stilts(powerizers)
Pretty sure i saw you today in town. About dinnertime-ish outside the market hall, have to say they are very impressive, not sure if id have the balls to have a go though. I was going to nip over and say hi but was in a hurry.

Re: Anyone out there with jumping stilts(powerizers)
Dont think it would work only having one, you really need a pair to keep your balance;-).

Re: Anyone out there with jumping stilts(powerizers)
Lol, dont fancy making a fool of myself in the middle of town. But i think you should start a business with this, you get loads of attention and people asking where you get them from, so why not be the one selling them;-)
