Maybe but i'm not sure what you are buying.. Firstly they are not powerskips at all. So what are they...skyrunners?? Who knows? You need to be careful of what you buy. Some quality of bocks is not at the same standard as others. I recommend projumps always. Very helpful and good value.

They look like skyrunners, or another illegal brand, so avoid them

Its also the fact that they may not be in the country yet, and when they do get over, and possibly get seized and destroyed the company may run off with your money

For a start they are calling them Powerskips which the most definately are NOT they don't look anything like Powerskips and as Powerskips retail for £600+ I would be very suspicious

The company is base in Kent (Kellogue search) but they don't mention that on the site (for Dvd etc they have a good name )
But as they only sell one size and have got the name wrong I think they are a rogue batch of Skyrunners the problem being that you will get no backup if they fall apart

So you pay your money and take your choice but I would stick with paying a little more and getting the sort of backup that Projump offer

Everything I have broken within the Warrenty period (and that has been a few (who said I was fat  :biggrin:)) it has been replaced with no problems at all

The odd time I have made a mistake (like sending back a set of springs that were the right weight because I was reading the lable upside down (who said I was stupid  :biggrin:) they have been really helpfull (and they didn't laugh at least not to loud  :biggrin:)

You may get a bargain but I don't think so

I would agree with Jason, the Pro-Jump product is good value for money with the after sales service being excellent.

They are ideal to learn on to see if you enjoy the sport without parting with significantly larger sums of money.
