It's getting to the point where it's more often then not, so I suppose it's going to be two sizes up.

Thanks

if u want good height get m60's and user them alot to break them in, or, if u r less than 5 foot two ur are probably going to have to get the juniors

its not only about weight, its about the strength and power of your legs.

I know someone who is way way under the weight category for his springs and can bottom them out simply because he has powerful legs and great technique.

If you gradually lost weight you probably wouldnt notice the difference but then say you went down to 85 kg....until you tried some 90's or 100's and then you'd think wow. Nobody can say whether you'd bottom them out though.

I weigh 87kg and the next springs I am getting will be 120's. I have M100's at present but I can bottom them, I want more height so I will go for maximum spring

It's going to be a little hard for me to order pro-jumps that are above my weight category.. I am sure I clicked on the 'adult' option and it says the maximum weight band is 90kg. I am about 85kg and am medically healthy (not under or over weight).

Are there no stronger springs?

EDIT: Ok I just saw the posts above me. I guess it displays the maximum as 90kg because they sold out of the others?

I now weigh 84.5kg and still only have M100's...... I will keep losing the weight, so I can get more out of them
