Hi newbocker
Firstly to agree with the general opinion I would buy Pro-jumps as an introduction to the sport
But I do understand that £135 is a lot to use once and throw in a cupboard
If you hop onto the introduction page and tell people roughly where you come from and ask about trying a pair there are a lot of gym meets and meets in local towns where the Guys and Galls on here will put you on a set of bocks and see if you like it before you stump up the cash
As to the unfriendly way you were treated in this post please believe me it was not the norm on here but we have had a few unpleasant charecters on here in the past trying to sell some rather poorly made stilts that have turned nasty when challenged so let me say sorry for the missunderstanding and welcome you
The main problem with the various "Cheap" stiltsis the lack of any form of warranty so if you buy some and they are substandard of break within the first few hours (which can and has happend even with the £700 skips) you have basicly thrown you money away
The difference when you buy from Pro-jump (and I speak from experience here
) is that if they fail within the warranty period they will do something about it
My experiece was a spring breaking within 10 hrs of use and the folks at Pro-jump replaced it without any problem once they had seen the broken spring
