Title: wrong poweriser
Post by: Mibsportler on May 16, 2010, 09:08:57 AM: hi guys

was bocking the skate park yesterday when a young teenager came by on stilts. he showed me his stilts - kid ones - and told me that 2day was his first day - got them as a birthday present.

so i walked with him and after a couple of minutes he was already running

PROBLEM: i think he got the wrong ones - he is already bottoming them out with only running - do u think that projump take them back and change them 2 adult ones??? only used them 1 day and as a birthday present...

cheers

If he's happy with them, leave it be I say. Also, it depends on his height, if he's under about 5'2" he'll struggle to use the adult stilts, even after modifying the footplate to be higher.

You're more likely to bottom out running than jumping as all your weight is on one spring, not shared between the two like when jumping.

Unfortunately once they are used and there isn't anything wrong with them we can't take them back if they have been used.

Due to the nature of projumps once they are used we can not resell them as new.

It may seem harsh but thats the reason why we try our best to provide as much information as possible on the website and provide a user forum!

Regards

I thought we had all come to the conclusion you some how got two different weight springs. :CGEEK:

That's probably the max air you can get out of kids ones anyway, I've never seen anyone get more than 1ft.

Doesn't always make them exactly the same. One of the guys in Wales had springs numbered the same and they obviously weren't, one was much softer than the other.
