there isn't an entry for 'around the garden 10 times.'
i've just finshed work and nearly had them on for a go but the rain has this very second started chucking down... >:(
-
I tried running into town yesterday, 2 miles. It killed me.. Now aching al over and I've come down with flu ???
Damn it
-
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!

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
-
Yeah mine bolt did that but just loctighted it and screwed it back in seems all good now.
Stay safe people.

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.
-
second day on them and I walked 2 miles-including uphills and downhills!!!- well impressed with myself!!!!
-
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 learnt to walk on my first day. Its quite tiring though.
-
I've walk about 3 miles around Skegness ! I say walked because I've only today got the speed thing sorted out ;D
Don't forget London meet's coming soon and that only a 6km route ! Come along :)
-
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 ;)
-
yup i'll be there should be ok with distance i did a charity run on them which was 10 miles! that killed me as i had no practise just kinda tuned up! lol but yeh im gonna get out on mine today hopefully for a bit and get walking around agen i havnt used them all winter lol
i just hope i dont fall at londonas i cant get bak up without using something big or another person!
hehe

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.
