Hello to all...    :Cwink:

I'm Todd and 40 years young.  I live in Bozeman, Montana - a mountain paradise in Yellowstone country.  I group on trampolines and spent years in Tae Kwon Do and gymnastics.  Later, I moved to just working out in a gym and I'm sick of it!  I want to get back to when exercise was fun!  Don't get me wrong, I love hiking in the mountains and mountainbiking, but I want to fly through the air with the greatest of ease, again.  My new Air-Trekkers are going to make that dream come true.  I also hope to start a club locally and I'm sure I will draw a crowd when I visit Montana State University's campus a little later.  I'm glad to be a part of this new and awesome sport.

Blue Skies!

Greetings to all fans of denying laws of physics.

My name is Lev (in Russian Lev means a lion therefore it's easier for you to call me Leo i guess, but i'm cool with both as long as it's not Borat or Meerkat thingy). I am 22 years old and a student in Leeds Met uni, decided to start jumping around last week and already am trying out a pair of used pro jumps to see what's it like, in case i get addicted to it i will consider buying a pair of my own. Currently I am based in Leeds. I will be browsing your forums for possible modification of pro-jumps and once i get to at least a level of when i can run or do simple jumps I will consider coming to one of your meetings. I am a complete freshmeat on a field so don't judge me too much.

Thank you for your attention, glad to be with you.

Welcome Lev

Don't worry to much about getting good before you go to a meet as you will progress much faster in a group

Hi karimdaniel.

Great to hear you have invested in what will become some of the most fun you can have with springs tied to your feet!!!

Sick flips, car jumping and other super human tricks will require you to have a good solid understanding of jumping and how to correctly rotate your body.

Might i suggest attending a tampoline class to help with the foundations.

Check out the injury posts for good examples of what happens if you try to run before you can walk!!

 Hi I'm Nadine and I am thinking of getting some but I have no idea where to start and if anyone near me can help me learn any tips plz :) my aim is to use them while I walk dogs as I get so annoyed I can't keep up with some dogs natural pace and I think pro jumps might do that but Im worried it will be hard I haven't got the best balance or balls!! :)

Hey, I'm Jack
I'm 14, got my PJs last year, and can currently (sorta) run, hop, jump, walk et cetera. I will add that I can do these things Very Badly.

Anywho, I'm a graphic and web designer, so (and I won't use this for advertising) if you want maybe a custom banner or something like that, give me a pm :D

I'm from Devon, Totnes if you know it, although I might wait until I have a little more time on my hands before I go to a meet or anything.
So I can write anything here and it'll show up at the end of every post, right?

Hi all! My names ed, from south norfolk in england and Im 26 years old.
I saw the pro jump exos in a magazine called 'wired' a few months back and my eyes nearly popped out when
I saw them,  Id never seen anything like them. I saved £20 a week from my crappy job and eventually got the money
together for them just over a week ago.
Hehe, at first I was just thinking of doing amazing physical stunts, but of course you got to practice and I guess
thats how it should be.
I value health/fitness (been running for years) and also get a kick out of risk taking/adrenaline, so bocks are right up my street really :) I got a juicey bruise on my hip cos I tried to run before I can even walk yesterday, hopefully this will learn me :)

Hello everybody , my name is Keith and I live in Orpington , Kent , England.
Just brought a pair of Pro-Jump Exo's for my 13 year old son.

Got them yesterday and we have just been outside and he has had his first go on them.
He did alright I thought for his first time , but he has just said to me that he is a bit scared of them , which I am OK with as it will stop him trying to run before he can walk - literally !

Hi Keith

Welcome to the forum

It's a good sign that he is cautious but it will pass as he gains the ballance needed

Only one question mate why didn't you get a set for yourself  :Cbiggrin:

If you're new to the forum then simply reply to this topic and tell us a bit about you, where you are etc, how old you are and how insane you are. Whatever you'd like to share really  :P

I've been here a while already and most of the regulars know me but for those who dont my name is Matt, I'm from Cardiff, South Wales and I am one of the oldies who refuses to grow up lol. I've had my PJ's about 2-3 months and my progress is slow but steady, though the amount of rain we've had has literally put a dampening on things  >:(

So, WHO ARE YOU?

:Cbiggrin:Hi all, I'm Pete, from UK but in Denmark as working here till Xmas. Got lots of free time to practice so hope I get better.Had the kit about 6 months but always work away so bought them with me this time. Plenty of good sites here to use them, parks, cycle paths etc. Anyone changed over to calf cuffs? Thinking of doing it as i find it's always tricky to undo the top strap after a session. Happy jumping everyone :Cwink:

Hiya, I'm 11 and I got my Pro Jumps at Christmas - I'm gettin used to them, but its a bit boring jumpin on my own - I'm too fast for mates with legs to keep up. I can walk and run and have tried a bit of jumping but I don't know how to get to the next level. I'm looking for some mates to jump with. I live in Billericay, but could get a lift to Chelmsford Basildon Brentwood etc.
I'm a Scout too, so it'd be great to hear from some other Scouts -maybe we could get a Scout thing goin?  Some fun at the Jamboree next year????  :Cnotworthy: Be great to hear from somone.
