Title: 11 Stone = M80 or M90?
Post by: Rude Dog on December 20, 2008, 09:15:48 PM

Considering the amount of info on this site and that this question has been answered many times before, if I'm forking out a fat whad of cash on some bocks and pads I need to know the coo people.

I'm getting my projumps in Jauary so I need to start making my plans now really.

Any other tips you got, pass on your knowledge!

well that translates to 69kg, so either really, 80s would be easier to learn on, but you'd be bottoming them out a lot once you got used to them, 90s would be harder to learn on but there's more potential for height in the end, so a don't know on that one from me

other things, pads pads, more pads, bit of sense, quick release kneestraps or webbing to strap your knees in, if you'renot going for cuffs that is, don't think there's much more critical info

I'm 11 stone and I bought the 90's :) they seem great so far, I've held on to a wall and had a jump and they are very springy :)
Mind you I'm not very muscley, so whilst I hope to lose weight I hope to gain muscle, which weighs more than fat - e.g. I probs. won't be getting lighter.
I'd take bits like that and what you want to be able to do on them into account if I were you :D

in that set up you get, the pro-jumps with the spring weight you need, with a calf cuff instead of a knee bar and the new pro-bindings which are stronger than standard pro-jump bindings =]
