This may bring memories for many but i went for my first "big" jump around today having had the jumpers for near enough a month. Took my mrs 4 year old daughter out with me and it was only a matter of time until it happened. I thought it would have hurt but i somehow managed to dive into a forward roll and take out a bin with me and then fell another 3 times and didn't hurt myself surprisingly. Stupidly though i wasn't wearing safety gear as i couldn't find it but for future reference, wrist guards i see, is a must!
Anyone had any dramatic falls yet? I was going to try some flips etc on the grass but it was way too soft to get decent height. Only a matter of time.......... :Straddle5:

You should always keep your pads with your stilt !?
If you can't find your pads .... doesn't matter !?
Because you can't find your stilts :biggrin: :thumbs:

true, the pads are with my skates which are still up at my dad's house (somewhere). haven't gone to get them since moving in with the mrs. Maybe a trip to the old home is needed? :rolleyes:

i was the same as you, didnt wear protection, i bailed in the middle of a roundabout LOL screwed me wrists and me knew for a few months, i was runnin, got a bit to c*cky, caught the floor with me stilt and down i went. still took me a year to get the protection LOL :thumbs:

I got protection even before I got my bocks, and only really wear my wrist guards, but my new calf cuff design has a integrated knee pad system built in, so I am always wearing knee pads!! :banana:
