hi im 15 and wieght is 41 KG obviously i am wanting the adult model and just wondering what size 60 or 70 because i really dont want to buckle or what ever it is called when your feet hit the floor thanks :)
-
The 60's will be fine for you, any higher and i think you would find it too much hard work.
PS. your 15 and you only weigh 41 kilograms = 6.45639482 stone :o :o :o

The thing with the jumping stilts is that it all depends on your technique so if you have a very good technique or strong leg muscles then you will eventually bottom them out - Some guys go about 2 or 3 sizes higher but still manage to bottom out.
But as a beginner you will develop the skill with time and I think the M60's will last a while although at the beginning you may find that they are a bit stiff.

I was very fit when I was 16 and weighed in at about 6 stone! I ate like a horse, but I'm hyperactive, so always on the go!
I agree, the M60's should be a good start point, and hopefully last a while!
Good luck bouncing Trendkill!

if your really small then go for the Juniors.. but if you have slightly longer legs than the average 8-10 yr old.. then go for the adults smalles size

How tall are you? if you are about 5 foot you should be ok on adult 60kg ones
Also check out this thread for more info http://www.projumpforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=1054.0

u should be ok with adult m60's because you can lower the bar for your knee height and you can put summat under your shoe like nephew did to raise ur foot so in theory ull be ok ;D
