I don't mind about the money if they are worth it

Don't forget that the springs also cost a lot more to replace. I'd say exos. They are extremely good stilts for the price. I've not used skips really so I don't know but maybe skips are better, but £600-£700 better? (I'm not sure of the going rate) I doubt it.

i own both and my powerskips just sit in the boot of my car

Exos are by far the better choice. - Better spring response and a lot cheaper to repair.

only think i can think that is putting me more towards power skips is i have heard people say that the exo's you tend to be leant more forward

The only way you will notice the difference of geometry between the two is by having used one and then changed to the other

If you start out on Exo's you will not even know the difference

I have used Skip frames with Skip springs and with PJ springs
I have also used Exo's and Exo-Pro's
I even had a set of 7's once

I now use a set of Skip frames with Exo springs on them (The perfect bock for me)

The Exo spring is far better for me than any other I have tried

The simple answer is to listen to Paul-Self he should know (If you ever see him bock you will realise why  :Cbiggrin:)

One last reason is that you can buy 4 pair of Exo-Pro's for the cost of one set of Skips

The center of gravity is slightly forward. I notice it in the air. But as with learning to bock the first time, you'll adjust.

I mean I wasn't able to do aerial tricks right off on this model like I could on powerisers due to my center of gravity being forward while I was in the air. But it doesn't take long to adjust.
