Title: A price reduction, perchance?
Post by: chocl8 on October 12, 2007, 06:42:10 PM
OK, so i'm on M70's at mo, been on them since Xmas, but have been bottoming out for a serious while, its not a major problem as they havn't broken or anything, however when i'm bouncing to my full potential to do tricks etc. i find that i will bottom out at the worst moment and go flying off in a dodgy direction, anyway, that doesn't really have anything to do with the next bit, but anyhoo...

Correct me if i'm wrong, but after all the posts i've read about the different brands of stilts etc. I'm pretty sure that poweriZers and Pro jumps are made in the same factory, just with different colours etc? So, if say on springz.com or whatever, they have a pair of M90 springs for £80, i just wondered why the Pro Jump M90's would be £90?

Not trying to be difficult, just thought that since i havn't had any problems with my pro jumps, i'd like to stick with the company thats been good for me!  ;D

prob a good sign u bottoming out ---means your technique is getting better, when im jumping well i bottom on my left stilt.   re prices companys free to set what they will.  1 company may set price to lure peeps in others not to bothered by the hassel of spares market and feel safe letting peeps go off to cheapest option.

its called the market place

Pro-Jump offer a price match promise on all their items on the delivered price.

It's tru we only give a 28day warranty but from experience we know our springs do last, if the spring is defective they usually break within a few hours.

So would pro jump M90's and PoweriZer M90's be identical? seeing as then it would then be eligible for your price match promise?

Most of the replacements are fibreglass, its just pop luck at the moment if you get the new ones!

They have similar springs but are wider..

The price wont be decided till they come but you'd be looking more around the £200 mark or higher.
