Hi All, were having a training sesion this monday at billy rox and visage night club in huddersfield 7 pm, your all welcome to come and jump around with us, some of the pro-jump display team will be there to give advice and show some back flips etc, ps if you dont have any pjs you can try on some demo's and have a go, chears. >

I would love to come and see this but its a bit of a drive from south wales.
Interesting though, do you often use a nightclub as a training venue? I'd have thought a leisure centre would be more ideal. Unless you drink and jump of course :)

So there is a projump display team.....why aren't there any videos of your work on this site? also if there is a display team, the guys have to be of a decent standard I guess. So you have a great opportunity to make video's of how to do stuff on the stilts for the rest of us that are newbies or even those guys that have been doing it for a while...... if it's not too much trouble

we are working on video it will be posted asap, our standards vary, but for tips on fliping and stunts etc we will help anybody interested just ask, we do traveling around a lot with various shows so were looking for sponsors to help with travel as you can gues it all mounts up, and were always more than happy to invite people with bottle to join us, were a team of mates, guys and girls into performing arts that enjoy what we do, the guy on the pro jump video is one of our team, he was filmed breaking in a new pair straight from the box, we dont pretend to be something that were not, were just happy jumpers who have been lucky enough to be called the pro jump display team, many thanks to pro jump for all the help they have given us.

we wil keep in touch if in your area it would be cool to meet new jumpers beginers and pro, we use the night club but not when its open to clubers, its got lots of different levels and steps etc plus a realy high roof and big stage, the manager is a great guy and lets us have every monday, we also use a gym with every thing from foam pits to tramps, the rest we do at skate parks etc, i would say though please dont try anything adventurouse without proper training and a dedicated helper, and always use safety gear,, do you all know about packing knee and balancing, it makes all the differance, some people we meet dont understand the need for this but its great when we see the advancment it gives them, if you understand this youl know what i mean, chears.

what do you mean by 'packing knee' stevie?
-
we notice that some dont use knee pads & some dont pack themselves in, we find that using shin/knee pads are great we also put a small piece of stiff foam be hind the knee to cushion strap im making some adaptions cheap and easy il send them to pro jump, you can also cut a shape out of foam the size of your knee pad, put it under knee pad and pull strap tight thrugh the back of the rear plate thrugh the spring it packs you in tighter and wont stop the blood, ther are lots of ways to help performance, if you need any more info no probs glad to be of help.
