lol. I did manage the gravel ok but it was because I had only had my pro-jumps a few days at the time and was still slightly unsteady. It's amazed me, at first I couldn't stand or anything, needing two people to hold me up. After 15 minutes or so I was ok-ish, then after an hour of wearing them I could walk ok-ish but still slipped sometimes and this week I managed to jump. I think that if the feat were the same size a normal feet they could do gravel much easier as it's a surface area thing with the slipping on it... But then it'd me much harder to move in them cos you can flex your feet but not the hoofs. I almost took them to the lifeboat thing in Rhyl last weekend too. I really want to run in pro-jumps, but can't seem to do it. Is there a trick/technique I should be trying?
Today I had to carry them loads traveling from Derby to Sheffield to Manchester (I never seem to stay in one place for more than a few days in the holidays, really). I didn't want to wear them because I had the hugest bag that my half breaking my neck cos the strap's really thin, so I had to carry them. I ended up half dragging them mostly cos they were quite heavy to be carrying everywhere, the hoofs are prolly really worn down now, lol. The food-selling guy on the train noticed them on the seat opposite me and said he'd seen them, he called them something really weird though, can't remember.
And despite Manchester being almost famous for its rain, it hasn't rained once while I've been here...
Bbmthbloke, I wouldn't DREAM of using them without pads!! I'm not stupid. I don't have a helmet but I'm very good at getting my hands under me when I fall. In fact I've only fallen over once and that was within 5 minutes of trying to first walk in them and the bit the hurt the most was my friend grabbing my arm as I fell not the actual fall. I got the pads off the site, scuffed them first day, better them than me though! lol
TundraH, what do you mean modifications?
