Yes.... but he does own a patent on them

zendalfire · « **Reply #29 on:** January 11, 2008, 12:46:18 AM »

True, they resemble Pinhead's design, which works very well.
But... Technically, they are based on the original bindings that are included with the stilts; plus quick-release buckles and a center strap to keep it in place.

I have decided not to market this kit. Instead, I will teach everyone how to make their own.

I am going to create a website of tutorials. A one-stop do-it-yourself shop

Plus, the items on the site will be available for purchase if you prefer not to make them yourself.

I'll have more details very soon.

That's what Pinheads are, so EXACTLY the same.... give proper credit where credit is due.

zendalfire · « **Reply #31 on:** January 11, 2008, 03:53:04 AM »

As I said, I'm not going to market these. Only show how to make them, and provide materials if needed.
The designs are quite different, only the basic ideas are the same.

I offer an easier, cheaper, faster, comparable product.
I will not make any money on this; I'm only trying to help the sport.

I don't mean to take business away from Pinhead, but it was inevitable, really.

Spud · « **Reply #32 on:** January 12, 2008, 12:25:53 PM »

I was lookin forward to buyin a kit but I think showin everybody else gow too is the best idea.

Spud · « **Reply #33 on:** January 13, 2008, 01:14:44 PM »

I think it is fair to have the option to make your own as some people have more money than time for which they can buy pinhead's straps and others more time than money.

Copies or not I think everybody should be able to have have some.

I don't see what the big deal is, his developed the idea the same way PinHead did, I know a few people who designed similar straps with just one clip but they haven't come on the forum, infact max's poweriser page http://sifter.org/~max/powerisers.html uses a similar design but uses a different clip. I don't see Zeldalfire's design as a rip of Pinheads design at all, his created a strap, ok it looks similar but PinHead always said that he has a special way of making them and his never given a tutorial to people to make their own, this guys come along, his not only going to sell them but his making a tutorial available for people to make their own so maybe you need to give credit where credits due.

I really love PinHeads mod's and all the creativity he brings to the forum, however I don't know why people make such a big deal when people try to make similar straps? I remember when Ricc made his Quick Sox it was a complete rip of Jason's original hoofy design and I saw no one make a song and dance about it. Jason complimented Ricc on his design.

Some of you really need to grow up

Zeldalfire, look forward to your tutorial and I hope you are not put off making new designs in the future, all the best.

Zeldalfire, look forward to your tutorial and I hope you are not put off making new designs in the future, all the best.

I will continue to say exactly what I want, regardless of wether you like it or not. I don't need to grow up I have already done that. I also dont need to be chastised just because you disagree with my point of view. You dont think it's the same as Pinheads...fair enough but what I see is something else. Maybe when Ricc posted his version of what Jason did he gave credit to the original inventor....or not. I cant remember, but that has passed. Just because it wasn't mentioned in that thread doesn't mean it cant be mentioned in this one.
I also hope that Zendalfire continues to design new stuff, having negative comments shouldn't stop anyone. When Jason invented his hoofies, studdies etc, I told him I thought the name was naff. He didn't get p**sy about, he just accepted the difference in opinion.

I have launched BockModZ.com!

http://www.bockmodz.com

Currently, there is one tutorial, but more will be added often.

-As for the strap design, it was partially inspired by Pinhead's design, and there is a mention on the tutorial. As you can see, there isn't much that could be taken directly from Pinhead's design, as my mod is made from pre-made items

I've created a new topic for the announcement.

http://www.projumpforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=1533.0

Please use that thread for feedback on the site. Thanks,

-Zen

I actually really enjoyed the posts about my Naff names for all my mods ET they gave all of us a good laugh (and I freely admit the names are naff/cute) thats the attraction for me

And to set the record straight Ricc contacted me about his Quick Sox and we chatted about designs for a while lots of good ideas both ways
He said in one post that he was only making them for close friends (if they are as labour intensive as mine I don't blame him they are a pain in the Hoof

) so it wasn't really the same as this

A mixture of Pins tie up tire sox and about three other peoples designs at Capital Bocking gave me the idea for the Hoofies so although I've said it before thanks all of you thats what this game is all about sharing ideas

I see zendalfires straps as a cheeper alternative to Pins straps but I've seen Pins Straps and the quality of the work and materials so if you want and can afford the best Pins are the ultimate and if you want to economize go with zendalfire (after all competition drives industry to greater effort)

As for me I love Cuffies as with a wonky leg I can adjust them to get myself straight so I won't be needing straps sadly

Jason

Ps ET if your bored spell check this for me I need a bit of picking on

Well put jason. Its hard to say exactly what you want perfectly sometimes and you did a great job

Thankyou Spud

It's unusual for me I have normally got both of my feet in my mouth and talk gibberish

BLOOOOOMING great idea Zen!

I fully support that site..

Make sure you fill it up with all the diffferent mods we all come to Love .. and get annoyed about

will be checking it for progress so get to work!!

zendalfire · « **Reply #42 on:** January 15, 2008, 01:31:06 AM »

kiola - Just a little innovation is all

Once I get more tutorials online, and an ordering system, you will be able to make your own custom kit with the supplies offered on the site.

If you make your own straps, you are responsible for finding the best quality materials to use.
The materials ordered from BockModZ are the best I can find and the model of dog collar I use is the best suited for this particular use. After 12 hrs of use, I've not had any problem with the straps. They stay adjusted and fit comfortably.

How can I compete with that

Brendan (NeoNinja) · « **Reply #47 on:** March 19, 2008, 01:59:00 AM »

Your tyre socks look way neater than any others I've seen.
What's the difference? Methodologically speaking that is.

GRS · « **Reply #48 on:** March 19, 2008, 02:12:42 AM »

they are based on pin heads tie up ones, check out the modificatin section.Also see the tyre sock thread on the faq section too for all the different types.

zendalfire · « **Reply #49 on:** March 19, 2008, 03:11:35 AM »

Actually, the tire socks in the photo (earlier in this thread) are a snap on type I made.
I have not made a tutorial for them yet, as I find them to be inefficient. When the tire wears through, you have to throw everything away

On the plus side, you can put them on or off in 2 seconds

I have a similar type (with reusable hardware) in development.

As you may notice, the tire sock tutorial is currently offline for re-design, as I had a pair break while running. The new version beats everything I've seen..
The tutorial will be online soon
