i think my pro-jump springs may be slightly knackered...
the left one bottoms out every other decently powered jump and they both make a ''im going to break if you do that again'' noise which sounds rather like a tree branch snapping.
so the main question is what should i do and am i going to die if i keep on em!!!?
-
am i going to die if i keep on em!!!?
Yes, a slow and painful death
-
aaaaaaaawwww >:( i always wanted to die via cloverfield monster or a giant t-rex with lazerbeam eyes.
but seriously what should i do?
-
Buy new springs, lol as then you don't have to wait for a new pair to be delivered :thumbs:
-
yeah im near enough skint so thatll probably be christmas oh well, and should i get stronger 1s since im doing more 'extreme' stuff on em?
-
how long have u had them for coz they should b under a three month waranty i think so just give webmaster (naz) a pm and she will sort u out or ring projump and they will sort it :thumbs:
-
ive had them since last octoberish i think so the warranty is well out :(
guess ill just get new springs 4 crimbo but ill get mega heavy 1s so they last 4 ages and i can jump higher ;D
-
You can continue to use them until they are completly dead if you want.
They won't just snap instantly in half, they will just get gradually softer and softer until just walking will bottom them out :D
-
oooooohhh but any idea why its the left 1 to go super soft 1st as i use my right foot mostly
-
im not sure why either cus i ripped my left one to peice but i use my right leg first lol
wat springs did u have? how muhc u weigh?
-
im about 13.5 stone ummm i baught mine a while ago but theyre the equivalent to the m90s bow i think im thinkingabout gettin sum like the 100kg or 110kg ones coz im getting better and am wanting to jump higher than i am now and maybe attampt a flip which 1s would be better???
-
ur about 85 kg and ur on M90s wich id say si abd
im 54 kg and on M80s so...
so id say get 100s or maybe 110s if ur pretty gd at it
-
well it depends what you class as good i dont class myself as good cuz i can just run and hop and kangaroo jump a little bit but i am now working on my kangaroo jumps whenever i am on them.

I am left foot heavy when I bock so I swap my springs over every 4 to 6 weeks it's easy if you know how you only undo 3 bolts on each stilt and it also swaps the hoofs over so they wear evenly to

i never would have thaught of that jason but it will still be awkward on my pjs coz running bottoms out my left foot
-
jason thats GENIOUS swapping the springs over.. i wud never of thort of that! :thumbs:
-
Do it the easy way Jack
Undo the big bolt at the top of the hoof section them you can swing the whole spring away and get access to the two small bolts that hold the top of the spring to the top bracket
Then just swap the whole spring/hoof unit over only takes about 10 mins once you get used to it
