Beginner does not know what to buy!
« on: November 02, 2008, 11:01:21 PM »
hey Guys,
I am from germany and when i google i find very many different kinds of pro-jumpers. And i really do not know which are the best or where ar the differences? Are there some only for tricking and some for running? I want to trick and of course also run with my rizers. And jump as high as possible :)

If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much room!

Put simply:

Yes.

Some of the bocks that are exactly the same have been mentioned here:

7's, powerskips, poweriSers are different. The biggest and most important difference is in the springs. Theoretically you should be able to get the same amount of height out of all of the different springs but to get it out of springs like projumps takes a good technique a a lot of effort. The more you pay, the more responsive the springs making it easier to get higher.
