If you are getting a pair buy the ones suitable for your weight otherwise you will not be able to compress the springs and then you wont have any bounce at all.
hope this helps

i have not got a pair yet as they are still on there way but i suppose if you where good enough you could do flips on them.
and also yeah get the junior model.
i have orderd the junior model aswell because im 7stone

P.S be carefull when attempting flips and wear protection .

Thanks alot Arthur youve helped me alot :) I was just thinking though. If i got the adult model M60 and maybe WD40d them up a bit would i be able to compress them enough to bounce higher. Just out of interest.

no the WD40 would only  work on squeeks it doesnt make the springs weaker.

Lol my friend asks if he gets the adult versions (hes 8.9stone) will the bar be too high for his knee because he is quite short (no offence dude)
Thanks.

Well as i said before i you should get the ones that fit u for weight and maybe buy ones which allow you to put osme weight on .
but dont go buying ones which are too strong because otherwise again as i said before you wont be able to compress the springs and you wont get any bounce.
