Hi there

Yes the rubber on its own is available however I've not had the chance to put it up on the website.
Just the rubber bit for the feet is £7.50each or £14 for a pair including standard delivery. You can call up to order it on 01772 792 600.

You mite want to make some tire socks to save you needing to buy spare hoofs

Only make tyre sox if you have to, they dampen the bounce.

It makes enough of a difference for me not to use them if I dont have to...

fair enough. I think it's probs what you used too. I wonder why it dampens bounce. I wouldn't have thought it would make a difference but i guess there is a science behind it.

Tire socks may or may not affect bounce, I think it depends on the actual tire you use along with your sock design.

We don't seem to have bolt-on type feet in the US yet... Is it possible to import some?
I'd need the whole foot frame section.  With extra pads..

The type of rubber can make a diffence !?
Off road tyre are sofe and will absorb a little ( and it is a little ) of the bonce but that is so small as not to be noticed !?
Tyres do stop the rubber wearing out  :thumbs:

You should be able to get these for any US dealer who sells Flying Jumper or PoweriZer model jumping stilts.

Yeah we've got them, we actually had them before the UK.  They came on the PoweriZer Pro, but i think they're standard on the originals now to, so any Flying Jumper dealer should be able to hook you up.
