We always say it worth go up one maybe two weight sizes.
They maybe harder to bounce but once you start you'll find you'll not bottom out.

I agree with naz, about the 70's, I was 62kgs when i got my 70's, but I now 64kgs and am using 90kgs springs, as I get better power out of a higher weight set

Weight is the main factor and some people should go 10kg-20kg over their weight.
Has you get better you even want to go even higher, but for now 10-20 will be best. :thumbs:

My first pair are 110's and am about to start using my +140's

:laugh: Hello i'm new here... I too was wondering which size I should get. i'm a bit underweight (13 years old, 37 kilo) so first I will try to gain weight. I really want to get good at this so I want good jumping power, but i've never done this before. First buying +10kg and if I get better +20kg wont be possible, because I really can't afford to spend almost 800 Euros. Please reply. :laugh:

hi there and welcome.

1st where are you. In makes a difference as stilts may  get called different countries ( so it will get confusing for you if we dont use the name for your country).

2nd How tall are you?

Hi people
i am ordering my pro-jumps tomorrow and i was just wondering if you give me some advice what size to get?
i am 50kg! so wat 1s would you suggest 60s or 70s ??? i would like them to last though as they are quite expensive for a kid of my age (14)!

70's, i was 55kg, when i got my 70's and i just grew out of them too fast, you should be fine on them though. :)

Yeah i'm only 65kg... but i went for the 80's because i would bottom out 70's far too quickly.
And if you were to grow out of your spings you don't have to buy new stilts... just new springs, which is just over half the price of the stilts.

:)

Thank you for replying! :banana: Bbmthbloke I live in the Netherlands (Hilversum) and my height is something like 1.52 meters(I'm small). I just tried to get my location in the Pro-Jump Map, not sure if it worked. I hope you will reply soon ;D

edit: I forgot to say, but i'm planning to first gain weight till i'm just below 45kg, i'll probably grow a bit in the meantime. I certainly don't want the junior version, I see that as wasting my money. I want to do stunts and stuff, not just bounce half a meter into the air  :-\
