hey, shoe size does not matter, and neither does height really, you probably wanna get Pro-Jumps(make of stilts) costing £135

You need to look at the weight size if he is 13 stone you will want to get him Pro-Jump M90 stilts, i found it easier to order mine over the phone (01772792600).

http://www.pro-jump.co.uk/pp/Buy-ProJump-Stilts/Adult-ProJump-Stilts.html

thats the link to buy online, if they dont have any instock online phone up and ask, they may have some lieing around.

Hope this helps

:D Men are easy, just find the most dangerous and wierdest thing you can find, or the most bloodiest game.... its simple, or maybe just take us to the pub :P

Women want all sorts, make up, shoes, hand bags, etc. the list goes on forever :P

Avoid buying bocks from
ebay. You are likely to get something poor quality or badly used with no warrenty. Get projumps. They will last longer and save money in the long run.

Get pads from anywhere. Just not too cheap or they wont work too well.

For a beginner I suggest bocks from the pro-jump website, and a set of wrist, elbow and knee protectors to be on the safe side :)

The knee/shin pads on the PJ website are great if you are using the kneebar ( I dont know the new name but what were the pit-dirts). Any quality wristies are fine and elbow if you want.

Wrists and Knees are an absolute minimum when learning in my opinion.

I still wear both everytime I go out and I've been bocking for over 3 years now

it's your choice, but i wouldnt boast about it. Doing so is not any bad for yourself but for people that read this.

I've been bocking over 3 years and in that time I've seen so many broken wrists and smashed knees that I never risk going out without pads.

you won't start falling over till you try really hard tricks (suprisingly not front flips or back flips)  But stuff like OCS and Double back scratcher

Well i can front flip on trampoline no problem, near perfect back flip too. Yeah i imagine bringing legs down to the right angle after double back scratcher may pose a few problems, haha.
The only way i dont land backflips is when i open from the tuck too early and my feet slip under me.
