OK so I know this would be a Chinese knock off (esp. since it's being sold from China)... but um is this just an un-named brand? It's not Air-Trekkers and it's not Powerisers so uuummm, wtf?

SKYRUNNER ALERT!
Chinese knock offs lol. There are loads of stilts made in china that are decent quality like your projumps and stuff. Your risers are made in korea I think. But skyrunners are well, not good, in most countries are illegal and they are often poor quality.
I doubt that listing will be around too long ;)
The links to skyrunners are not allowed. But you didn't know what they were. I have taken the link down and put a pic of what was on the listing up. Naz, if thats not ok then can take that off.

thanks u spudaroo

Yeah I know lots of versions come out of China but those look like crap lol. So they are the imfamous SkyRunners (have since looked and yeah I see that they are)? With "fancy" velcro-ish looking straps lol. Yeah sorry about linking didn't know and didn't know how to post just the pic. since I was at work at the time (photo uploading sites are blocked here). Thanks for changing it though :)!
BTW eBay had just had a bunch of people start selling these from China, Thailand, and even a pair being sold from in the USA. I thought this was illegal?
SkyRunner Australia was going to sale me a pair too knowing I was in the USA.

I think these are skyrunner pros or something. There are a few different versions. As for posting pics I didn't host it. just copied the location on the ebay link.
It is illegal to sell skyrunners in patent protected areas you are right but it can still happen. most illegal sellers and ebay listings are dealt with pretty fast.

Didn't think about that lol. Oh wow a PRO piece of crap, how nice :Cwink:! I'm wondering if you get your body cast complimentary or is that extra :Claugh:?!?
Well hopefully eBay catches it soon, think I should report them or leave it be? I mean if they break easy then it's way dangerous for folks to be using these!
Anywho I found two interesting sites. Esp. helpful I guess to a newbie bocker (yes I know I still am one too hehe) looking to buy...

It won't be ebay who take it down. It will be the patent holder ;) probably anyway.
