Hi folks. Ive just got back from Bocking with my good buddy Swebounce in Spain
*. Thought Id let you know what he and a few others do regarding transporting 'risers.
1st off Swebounce and emil ( another swede) use big Golf transporting bags. These have the advantage of being big enougth to put quite a bit of luggage in ( including cheap booze --well Id have thought so , dont know if they did) and they have little wheels so 1 may drag them about easily.
A few guys each had poweriSer bags and a few 7league stilt bags ( possibly not available easily in this country as these people were German and Austrians). I used a Flyjumper bag I borrowed off a mate. Two people, who also flew out from the UK, had no bags! Carried stils to airport then strapped them to their ordinary luggage at airport! Seemed to work judging by the flips they were pulling.
Though I think the best solution was probably Wolfgang's. He got two of his workers to drive from Austria in a Mercades van with the stilts!!!!
* Yep, I got to bounce with the man himself. I have to tell you it is quite something to be standing around chatting with friends and the guy pulls 7 flips in front of you. Yes it was caught on several video camers and some still cameras ( including 1 guy laying on the gound shooting up). Im sure some of the stuff will be seeping onto the net soon ( if it hasnt already)
