Bought some of the fluorescent tape from here http://www.gaffertape.com/product-7159.wtl

Quote

An ultra high visibility and durable cloth tape. Our 'American Grade' fluorescent cloth tape is one of the brightest and most attention-catching tape available. Designed for temporary marking of hazardous or designated areas. Still being visible even in low light situations and glowing under UV/Black Light makes this product ideal for marking stage areas, store isles, sports hall lanes and for use in TV & Film set construction and decoration.

Mine are the orange ones and the pink ones are my GF's new Pro-Jump+ can't belive she has better bindigns than me

had to get her those to fit her tiny feet lol

The bindings are really nice but you have MK3 hoofies!

The tape looks really good. And the PJ+ looks really nice too. Not having that orange there makes a big difference.

I have two pairs of the hoofies, she cant have them

Yea they do look nice all black, but I got the orange to go with mine

Hi everyone not sure anyone else has tried this yet but my dad ordered 50.8mm heatshrink off ebay (£9 for 3 metres including delivery) then he took off top of spring slid it on and used his heat gun to shrink it in place this is the result in pic.

peeps wot have seen 'withnail and I' may know the answer

First of all that looks amazing!

I do however have a question. I'm fairly new to all this and as it turns out I have the same orange powerizers. I never really looked into modding etc when I first bought mine and now after seeing this I'm thinking I'd really like to do the same (maybe a different colour to purposely clash with the orange) but I am worried about how this will effect jumping. My spring covers (the slim plastic that came with them) has taken a bit of a beating. Did you gaffertape over the covers or directly onto the spring and have you noticed any change in the performance?

Also if I were to go about doing this is it as simple as just giving the spring covers a wrap or two of gaffertape?

Nero · « **Reply #17 on:** September 16, 2009, 08:45:08 AM »

yes mate its as simple as that, i dont know anyone who has hindered their springs with tape.

I've heard of them but I don't know them.

Have left a message on youtube asking about them so maybe I can go learn from them

Athoul · « **Reply #21 on:** September 16, 2009, 01:03:32 PM »

Signing up on their forum is your best bet:

What time do you go down there? Is it on Sunday and Saturday because Saturdays I usually have my daughter and this Saturday happens to be the day I move >.< Sundays however are great as I have every Monday to myself usually so I can rest up

Oh I also got some Yellow and Silver gaffer today and did mine but it looks very scruffy lol
