Hiaa everyone  :Cbiggrin:

Ive fianlly saved the money up to get some PJ+  :Claugh:
And im still unsure of which size?
Im about 60kg .. so I take it I should go for the M70?

And anyone know how long they are on Pre Order for?

Thanks!!  :Cbiggrin:

M70 sounds about right :) but what do you mean by pre order? do you mean for Elites or the newer ones (which I still think should be called EXO's)

The Pro-Jump+ may not be restocked. These will be replaced by the new Pro-Jumps which should be arriving in a couple of months time. The Pro-Jump + is essentially a basic projump but with uprated bindings and culf cuffs instead of a knee bar. At the moment we are out of stock on the bindings but if you really want to get jumping I'd recommend buying a basic pair with calf cuffs and upgrade the bindings when they come back in stock.

Hope this helps.

Its ok, if you have pre-ordered them it simply means you will get an email or call when then are back in stock, you can just ignore it!

Awesome!  :Cbiggrin:
Is the knee bar really as uncomfy as everybody says?
As with knee pads shouldnt it be fine as i have knee pads for them?
Or is the Calf Cuffs waaay comfier & nicer?

Thanks again for your help!  :Csmile:

I think its personal choice to be honest, but the majority on here may say calf cuffs are better but I know a few people who still prefer the knee bar!

Am I right in saying that when changing the knee bar to the calf cuffs that changing the bindings is important as well otherwise it's a safety risk? Or was that just with the old models? I only bring it up because I notice that the other pro jump+ bindings are out of stock (though the calf cuffs are in stock), but I'm pretty interested in getting some calf cuffs. Should I wait for the bindings to come back in stock?

i was wondering why there was such pro bar support lol.

the stock bindings "orange and black" are fine really for while your learning, and i think its more of us old school bockers who complained so much about them that pro jump bought the upgrade bidings.

there IS NO safety issue with using cuffs with stock bindings, as with cuffs and knee bars its just a preference thing

If they are £120 and your not sure.. i would'nt go for them.. I was recommended this site by a stilt group I met, & they assured me everythign was good quality etc etc..

Cant you order them from here?

Hi 3z@r

You have to be careful as there are some stilts called Skyrunners (they go under other names too) that are a bit hit and miss as to quality

Some times you can get a reasonable pair but most of the time they fall apart round you

So if you can get a picture or some more info about them we will be able to help you better

Hey, I live in Aberystwyth! I got my junior bocks in 2007 when I was 12 and then upgraded to the adult version. I was too light really for my 7 Leagues, and not very good at them, so I lost interest. They now sit in my shed and make an occasionally outing every few months. =P

I just logged in and put 'Aberystwyth' in the search to see if anyone'd mentioned me over the past year, and found this thread!

Anyway, I don't really bock much any more, but maybe sometime I'll drag the old stilts out and have a go sometime. I live in Aber so I'll probably see you while I'm out walking my dog or something. Bockers are hard to miss..

I go to Penweddig.(like all the cool people, haha) I'm 16, female, and my names's Aoife, btw.

That's where I used to bock when I used my stilts regularly. Ah the nostalgia. D'=

Anyway, I put 'Hannah' into Facebook the other day and I'm assuming the one on stilts is you? We also have mutual friends. If I remember correctly, you know Calvin and most of my friends that have horses.

So, yeah, I might out my stilts sometime. I definitely will if the Welshbockers come on a trip up here.
