Post by: Bobro on March 23, 2007, 01:08:24 PM: cheers... i will go with buckles on the outside...

will leave this post up for information but i do know why my knee hurts...
i had gotten a little slack with the exersize, so on monday i started again and went for a jog, i was wearing just my trainers. because i land with the side of my foot first this had pulled my knee to the side.. coupled with then bouncing on the flat plates it started to ache...

i have booked some time at the local running shop and they are gonna tell me about my feet and how i land on them so i can by some special running shoes and also adjust my stilts accordingly... honestly i didnt thing altering the tillt on the foot plates would of been so important...

Post by: Kanga Man on March 27, 2007, 11:26:04 AM: I agree with Matt. I get an ache in my right knee when I bounce around. I've started wearing a knee support on that knee and I'm fine now. I stayed off my stilts for a couple weeks (which was hell) just to let my knee heal up and now with the knee support I can bounce around for hours.
