I have seen these cuffs in the flesh ...webbing. And as if there were any doubt.
They are awesome! I'd say at least a thousand times better than the 'real' ones.
Everyone's dreams sit aloft a rungless ladder. Some ladders are higher than others. Some are so tall they reach high above the clouds - but everyone can see their dream. Most people see that their ladder has no rungs and although they may talk about climbing it one day, seeing no way to get there, they eventually give up and settle for what lies beneath it.
      The brave however, the wise, the imaginative and the strong of will seek out their missing rungs. They learn all they can about the ladder, they surround themselves with friends and family who would also find the rungs, and failing all else they craft the steps themselves with their own two hands from nothing. Sometimes a rung breaks and the person falls. Some of these people will fall too hard and lose the strength to climb again - Yet they feel comfort in knowing they tried. They became better for it. And they experienced things and witnessed sights upon the climb that those who sat forever beneath it will never know.
      Then there are the special few who find new steps, or fix and climb again the ones that failed. Who eventually, through sheer tenacity and courage come to reach the final rung - Only they will have their dreams fulfilled. The extraordinary then build new ladders. These are the strongest people of all.

" well, as soon as you do them with knee-bar thingies, i'll be buying some ".......
cuffs DONT HAVE what you call KNEE BAR THINGIES,  :Cswoon: its the cuff, thats it,  thats how cuffs are,  but obviously, without my extra's and workmanship...so only a knee bar has a tiny strap, thats why i cut mine off and made my strap mod for them,look at my other thread for those.. again, cuffs have nothing, they are a giant strap so to speak...
JASON
haha,thanks, but thats only what ive put on mine, it isnt really their name as such, people can just call em PINHEADS OR 69's cuffs...
PHaT in slang =  the meaning, cool, ace, wicked, awesome, the best etc.... dat is phat, dey is phat man, JASON is phat  :Ctwitcy:

Hey pinny :)
When Kaz was talking about "Knee bar thingies" I think they were talking about the bars that attach the cuffs to the bocks, and go into the brackets. That what I would guess anyway. They did talk about cutting stilts up...

Do you need to slice up your knee bar to use these at the mo?

NERO lol
dya mean, i cut your knee bars down for you  :Cyes:
SPUD
ahhh that would make sense i guess...CUFF BARS
its hard when people dont know the exact names of things
knee bar thingies kinda boggled me...
as regards to cuff bars, i can get them, although its
a long process as he dont reply to me quick enough
so i can sort stuff out...
you can cut them down very easily...
just where the pot rivets are that hold the tiny weenie strap
thats where you cut them....but cut at 90 degress to the bar,
so you can then put the bung from the bottom of the bars in the top
looks neat then....the hole distance is an inch or inch 1/4 with added bung from the end... at a 6mm hole...

got new material today to make another version cuff
they will look similar, but will have a few differences, overall
they will be better in looks, but they will do the exact same job
as the other version....

Pin just to warn you of a potential problem

I have cut down 5 sets of kneebars so far for Cuffies and the pop rivets wern't always in the same place so you might want to give some measurements or a paper template (or something) as they seem to vary (even on the skip ones I cut)

Yeah, haha, i know the names of most bits, but i thought you'd all just understand 'knee bar thingies' xD i didnt think you put the cuffs ON the knee-bars... that'd be a bit pointless..

Yeah, cuff-bars...

anyway, i'd still need to get some, as my parents wouldnt let me cut my stilts up, no matter how simple it is ^^

I would ask for a pair Pinny as they look damn sweet. But my riSer ones are 2 years old now and still going strong, maybe if I ever manage to bend one of the bars then I may consider buying a new pair

SPROG
no worries dude, 2 years, good, thats how things
should be made... they do charge for that mind...
ive always said, although i am a bar man, well, i was lol..
that cuffs will one day be the way to go..little did i think that i would
be the one to do it and take them there....
i originally made the mistake of trying someones on
and i didnt like them, but thats because they were tailored to suit their leg.... i know that now....
with mine, due to the heavy padding, you have to bring the bars in
till they hug your leg firmly, then tighten them...
it felt like my bar was there still....love em...
yup, if you ever need some, you know where i am....

LOCKY....
yours are done  :Cyes: ENJOY...
ive tried a few changes with yours,
reversed the velcro, ie soft onto the side walls
as all cuffs have the rough there, and im sure its better
to have the soft there just incase of contact
which it wont with these added pads, but, anyways
seems more practical..and thats what i will do from now on...
ive also tried a double up on the strap loop which houses the
metal loop buckles with a red webbing inside...so its
twice as strong to wear..not sure it needs it, but what the hell,
it looks a little more trick...the other change was the shaped part, ive used a different material, which also seems better, and is a
fraction wider,  has a stupid breaking strain of 3500 KGS well over the top...they do look shweeeeet... but also look the same,
the changes are just subtle...
i just cant help myself....  :Ctwitcy:

OK folks...
little note to let you know whats going on cuff wise
firstly locky and dk got theirs today...
now on chatting to locky on msn, i asked what was the verdict
firstly..leon said, "he didnt like them as they were triangular shaped"
huh, they aint even fitted yet lol , as they have 3 padded thick sections, they will be that shape until fitted, i could say, other cuffs are straight not fitted, wtf,  that critisism makes no sense to me whatsoever...
then... an EA stated, "he didnt like the fact you cant fit them backwards like poweriser cuffs", huh again...
mainly so they can be taken off quicker for shops and a crap...
i could always charge that kind of price, stitch em badly, and make them fit backwards also...hmnnnnn
all this when just past around, trying them on without fitting them...
oh, they all agreed they were comfy, wow thanks for that....
blood out of a stone springs to mind...
you put all the hard work in, just to get those kind of comments
unfitted...i dont mind a critisism if its a productive one, but thats just annoying...all this has made me think what the hell, why bother
i do it all to help and not profit, and the time involved in making them is just stupid, so i aint gonna bother anymore....
the last materials will be used up by most of sky high then thats it. i cant be arsed.....sorry guys, topic locked

Don't let a couple of reviews put you off Pin, I've found that many a times it’s not the actual cuff that’s the problem but the problem is fitting them correctly to the way the user prefers them and it often takes trial and error to get them perfect - Just ask spud!

Once they have a chance to adjust them to the way they like them and give them a good go I’m sure they will be able to give you better feedback, but with users that have cuffs already they often like the ones they already use and like them the way they have set them up even if they are wrong way round (like Sprog, Carl and John!)

wow 120 days ive been away, nuts..
well, it was'nt actually a review anyhows naz, more a pass the parcel
and look at them, and, they are round when fitted, just ask the 35
users who have them...
ANYWAYS
although awaiting another opp on my shoulder, i have still been making them
for my contacts, and the new slim version is much much better
kinda like the straps i made, they got better everytime i made them..
they are now only 50mm, 2 inches wide, they also have 1 full length pad
made of leather or leatherette, now for the sarcastic quote  " this means they are flat not fitted ok lol"
the padding inside is around 8 to 10mm thick, so now they come in 3 parts and not
5 as before, due to not having 3 individual pad sections but one now...
i can also make them in any colour, as long as i can get the threads and
materials to match, but the pads will stay black whatever.
below are some pics of the phat cuff and the slim cuff to compare the sizes
ive stood a zippo lighter next to them so you can see and compare.
and remember, the phat cuff was made in 3 inch and 2 3/4 inch widths
i found the width made no difference whatsoever for comfort, so i made the slim cuff
most of which are in usa now.
PS i will say, i looked at some new pro jump cuffs the other day, they have padding to now and look pretty damn good, the best manufactured cuff yet ive seen, nice 1

I must say the Phat Cuff is the best mod you have made (Pinhead69) as everyone knows already Skyrunner stilts are poorly made and the springs break easy well I had 2 sets of skyrunners since Jan that I finally got time to put together and "Test" it took me until now to do so as I sent them to a friend of mine's house located in Parkersburg, WV as I planned on offering a set to a buddy of mine for his Birthday as a present after I was sure the springs would hold up as I found the frames are good no matter what we do to them.

I fitted my Phat cuff to the kneebar skyrunner stilts and it was funny within 10 minutes I could manage to break the springs on a 60-70KG set as well as later on I broke one 70-80 Blue Skyrunner spring also.

I only weigh around 97 pounds so I know it was the tight Cuff fit as well I knew I was set in the stilts and was never going to have any loose problems when I jump and sure enough I put everything I had into them and I won, lol.

I thank once again the Mod God  :Cnotworthy: for this one.

I also wanted a Blue set for my second set of stilts I put the 7 Leagues Raptor springs on a set of skyrunner Blue stilts as a spare set for myself and they are perfect as I also made a mod of my own to fix bushing problems and the Rod D hoof area bending so easy inwards.

I measured the skyrunner knee bar against my Factory Poweriser Advanced set and made a set of Bars ready for the Phat Cuffs so all is ready for the "Pretty Blue Cuffs"

I know also the stitching will never be a problem as when they are factory sets they just tack stitch them but when we get the ones Pinhead sells they will outlast the Frames and the Springs I am sure.

I am still using the very first Phat Cuff I got from ya by the way and they have no flaws yet even after about 8+ months I think it was I got them off of ya.

The Phat Cuffs provide the following over any factory Cuff:
Adjusts to fit very slim/skinny legs
Adjusts to fit very large/fat legs, no offense meant here.
Now come in any color for the webbing instead of just Black.
Has 2 double D rings instead of 1 double D ring
Has Velcro that you sew on so you get the perfect custom fit every time
Are now slim design that is lighter weight yet super strong
Nice one piece padding for the inside between the Webbing and your leg
Mounting holes are Pre drilled and reinforced to prevent pull through of bolt etc
The Phat Cuff is the new way to be secure every time you put on your stilts
You do not need to remove your pads or shoes to put these on just strap up through the two double D buckles and Velcro closed
The price is much better for a nicely made Cuff rather than a Poorly made Factory one
You can ask for custom changes on these that no one else will do for you
I am very glad to have a Buddy like you (Pinhead69) as where else can you find someone who wants to help so many people and not ask a lot in return other than pay for the materials and a little for his time which I think you undercut yourself to much there though, lol.

Glad to help ya get a "Good" review as I am glad to advertise  :Cchatterbox: and try to let others test your cuff as I know they are 110% safe and proven to work nicely for a long time to come for sure.
