Although this is still my second post on here, alot has happened since last post! I discovered the hard way that the foot pads on my stilts were worn out while whilst running a few months back, and just recently i got around to putting on some homemade Tyre socks (thanks for the instructions, Pro-Jump.com!), and they work really well. So with a few minor modifications and replacement parts, my bocks are back in commission and I'm out running again!
