since i havent got mine yet i can only quote on what i have read, but form all that i have gotten this...

you should order the size up from what fits you so say if your 9stone the m60 (9.44stone) would fit you so you should get the m70 (11stone) this will keep you from bottoming out and might give you better bounce.

they sqweek for a bit when you first get them to sort this just spray some WD40 onto all moving parts.

also the spings need 'breaking in' this takes at most 2 weeks if they are not used much when they have been broken in they bounce much higher.

when you first get your PJs you should rap the springs with 2 layers of electrical tape then a inner tube (cut it the the size of the spring and rap it around) then you rap another few layers of electrical tape around them this keeps the springs safe everyone does it and its essential.

for the feet they run out fastish so you should make some tire socks this video will show you how to make them http://www.xtremeimportz.com/Powerizer_Instructional_Videos.html it is the second one down.

and it should take bout 10 - 30 mins for you to be able to stand and walk.

i hope all this helps you out happy bocking. =]

all depends on if you make them look good or not spend time making them they look fine if you make them quickly they arnt as good but they definatly are essential if you want to save money its make these for your feet or pay around 20- 30 quid for new feet every month or so.

Title: Re: how high?
Post by: Bbmthbloke on July 15, 2007, 04:18:17 PM

Yes you do get more grip with a deep treaded tyre sox. BUT BUT BUT, you , like, me want to go bigger better faster. But go have fun. Is jumping 3 foot more enjoyable than 2'6''? etc 

a/ the 'best' performance comes from the best technique/ posture etc.
b/ th Most fun comes from jumping over /onto things. U get higher by working out how to jump 'over THAT wall'  or 'over THAT bin'
