Title: which ones??
Post by: olliestev on October 30, 2006, 01:40:13 PM

hi everyone thanks for reading!!

i wont to get some of these but not sure which model. im around 6ft 2 and weigh about 11.12 stone i think and i am hoping to grow a bit more as im only 15 so i was wondering whether to get the 70 or 80 or 90. (i think i should grow to be about 6'4"+ as i am already 6'2")

Can anyone help?

thanks!

I'm 12stone, just hit 70kg and I'm using 70-90's , this allows any growth to happen without caining the springs.

If you buy below your weight bracket it'll be harder to get a bounce, if you buy over your weight bracket you'll bottom out and maybe even snap the spring. More likely to bottom out though and do yourself in than break.

why is it better to get ones which are harder to bounce and also why is it harder to bounce?

lukey dont you meen if you get ones too weak for yourself you will bottom out and maybe snap the spring.

and if you buy ones stronger than your weight guideline you will find it harder to get a bounce.

I think you should have gone for the next model up (70's) as your probably going to grow into them and you might bottom out on your new jumps. anyway, good luck bockin!

Welcome to the forum mate.

I'd have gone for the 70 ones too.  I weigh 58kg and I can bottom out the 70 ones when I'm running hard.

Dont go worrying yourself about it. You can replace the springs but I think they cost £80 (i dont know if thats per pair or each).

Unless you have years experience as an acrobat there is no chance in hell you'll be bottoming out on them right out the box or even within the first few weeks. I cant guarantee that, but if you do find they are not suitable then you can always contact projump and see what they say.

Are u on msn jack?

dont fall over lol.

no seriously, take it easy. Use a wall or something you can lean on to for your first few steps. Dont try to learn to do tricky things until you have mastered the basics.
