The first time I used them, I couldn't s**t for days!
Now I can walk for around three miles and run for half! After which I need to stop for an hour a drink 5 pints of water!

Taking a leak is not advised whilst wearing them, unless the people around you have umbrellas!

 ;D

Have been stilt walking for a few years now and finally got my grubby little handson a pair of pro-jumps on Friday afternoon, went to a festie that evening and spent the whole time running and juming around the fields on my pro-jumps  :D

Longest stint was a 2 and a half hours, not too knoackering cos i could rest on a marquee and watch a band for a while in between sproinging!

BUT BEWARE - when i took them off one of the bolts holding the footstraps had worked its way loose!!! Make sure you check yr nuts regularly  :o

Interesting Poll all depends on,  How big your block is? How far it is to the beach, how close are the shops? All of these things are close to me. I even tryed walking the dog but she kept getting in the way.

once ive got mine and once ive got to a good enough level of using them i think i might go for walks/runs on them to have a bit of extra exercise maybe i will do about 2 miles and gradually increase
but i will mainly just try to have fun on them

I can walk more than 10K in them..... ;D and yes with the London meet "Capital Bocking" coming up I suggest anyone going start doing some long walks. I also suggest putting your name down on the relevant thread  ;)

This poll is not very well constucted. Really it should have some distances on it, to the shops may be just a few metres for some people and several hundred kilometres for others.
