Pro-Jump and PoweriZer (Now called PowerStrider due to legal action from poweriSer) are the same product, same factory, same production line. Only the name on the box is different.

Take a look here for info on the different brands:

It's because Naz hates me :'(
From the page I linked to. Take note of the bold section.


FlyingLocust are a China-based company, who began selling stilts in 2004, under a multitude of different names. Their current listing includes "FlyingJumper", "PowerStrider", "ProJump", "FlyJumper", "SpeedJumper", "AirRunner" and "JollyJumper". Currently, certain brands are sold in different countries, with ProJump and FlyJumper Prominent in the UK, FlyingJumper/PowerStrider more common in the USA, SpeedJumper in mainland Europe, AirRunner in Australia, and JollyJumper in Russia. 2 models of FlyingJumper/PowerStrider, SpeedJumper and JollyJumper are available, the original and "Pro", which has a tilting footplate similar to that on "powerskip pro" stilts. The original versions of these stilts are currently the most affordable on the market, retailing between £135 and £240 ($270-$480). "FlyingJumper" or "PowerStrider" were originally known as poweriZer, but under legal action from the manufacturer of PoweriSer have changed to the current names.

In 2007 FlyingLocust also released a new model, called "Upwing", "AirRunner", "SpeedJumper Redoxx" or "ProJump Elite". These have a new Carbon-Fibre Spring, and the ability to switch between a solid and tilting footplate. They also have a form of calf cuffs, but a different design to those found on poweriSer/Velocity Motion Stilts, although many people have been vocal about their dislike of the upwing cuffs due to their solid plastic design. As of May 2008 this design (Upwing) has been removed from the market due to equipment design failures, although there may still be some old stock left over and being advertised for Sale*

I believe all of us at X-bocks would recommend Pro-Jump stilts in the UK as currently the best value stilt you can get in terms of quality, warranty, and how long they last.

Little harsh Ellis. It's Timmy's first post and he said he was a total noob.

Sounds like you have mistaken him for another guy who has asked loads of questions and ignored all answers ???

No comment Sprog well ( and pun not intended)  PMT -offensive low shot or wot ( do u want the quote?)   from a mod?

Re low prices   depends on a/ bulk discounts  buying upfront and b/ companies marketing/sales plans ( accepting lower unit profits  but larger sales / bigger share of market  that kinda stuff)

Because poweriZer have a higher markup so they make more profit. That's all.
They both buy them from the factory for about £75 per pair, and then add on the markup to make a profit. PoweriZer are a ripoff for what you get, really...
