hi
how do i tape the spring. what i mean is how do i wrap it around do i start form the top and work to the bottem of the spring wrapping it around  . bcause i was thinking that if i was to wrap it in the way i have described then will it affect my jumping in anyway? please point me in the right direction!!

thanx

There are as many ways to wrap springs as there are Pro-jumpers it's down to personal preferance

I personally like to wrap mine in rubber (old innertube ) and then cover them in gaffer tape (start at the top of bottom it does'nt matter )

Others like electrical tape/hockey tape and apply anywhere from 1 to 5 layers

You wont affect the working of the spring however tight you tape them

To see more methouds use the search and type something like "wrapping springs"

Thanx

i did my springs by taking the hoove part off and doing length way strips of duct tape as a baselayer and will be doing electrical insulation tape over the top of it in a spiral way up and down a few times. if you go on youtube.com theres a few videos of some people showing different ways to protect springs if you search for powerisers on there i think one of the vids is called armouring your powerisers

A newbie here ( aged 45 ) and just got my new M90s today. Covered the spring in an old bicycle inner tube and then covered this with Duck tape. Should protect the spring and not make me look like a newbie ( until I fall over !)

Welcome sonic! Your springs are well protected. Nice one 

Have fun on your bocks and make sure you protect yourself as well as you have your springs. And we know you are a noob because you replied to a really old thread  lol

If I don't use my Post Code I get a moved to a copy of Boston.

I use cheap sticky tape over cling film

Nuttas fur covers work well because when you hit the other spring or floor they just twist or slide.
