Title: Is it really worth it??
Post by: danbent on April 30, 2010, 07:07:19 PM

Im 15 and have been very interesting in buying some pro jumps as i am very in scouting and some off my friends have them. The only thing is i dont know when i would use them :/, I only want them to have a bounce around on and to walk around on, i would walk everywhere on them but are they really worth the money?
Also would i grow out of them too quick as i am still growing quickly?

Any feedback would be nice, Your views on what i should do. Thanks Dan

You want them to have a bounce, walk around, you would walk everywhere on them but you dont know when you would use them?!^^

I mean, if some friends already have them and you like them (I guess you already tried them out), whats the problem? Go for it! :D

Its definately worth it. LOT of fun, great exercise, you can do it with friends.. I mean, what do you want more. ;)

I havent used them yet :(
My friends that have them live in coventry and i dont see much off them now but i would use them alot when im on camp with the explorers :/

I would like to get some but my parents are convinced i wouldnt use them, I think i would use them loads tho :S

People go one of two ways danbent

They either use them a few times and give up or they spend as many hours on them as they can for a long time

It does depend a bit on if you have other people on them in your area as going out in a group is more fun than on your own

I spent the first year totaly alone and then was lucky enough to find a mate just up the road from me

So far 3 1/2 years and I still can't wait to get out on the weekend

So it is really up to you

I would second what Jason said.

I bought mine and had them for a year before using them.  Went to my first meet fairly recently, and I'm now trying to get out every weekend.

I think by the sound of it you'd love it. I thinkthere are plenty of people on here round your way.

Once you get a pair if u use them loads others tend to follow, I had 5 of my leaders and scouts buy some after I got mine
