id say how good they suit the bocks how much wieght they put into the jump and what make they have as skips and 7league are the best i think while pro-jumps, powerisers and a few others are good for bigginers and people just messing around profesionals they go for skips and 7leagues and some like that

Have a look at the following vids

They all use Pro-Jumps in them so really it's more about user ability! Even if you put on a pair of shining custom made Velocity Motion Stilts you still may only be able to jump very low if you haven't perfected your technique.

As far as im aware they are using Pro-Jumps

Also PoweriSers have beige hoofs - the ones in the vid look black

I may be completely wrong  :o

They cannot be poweriSers as they have a black hoof, and also poweriSers are not made by FlyingLocust, but by Hitech & C, co. of Korea :)

I will agree with you Jump-Up, they look more like poweriZers than ProJumps :)


As Naz said, jumping high is all technique. It all relys on jumping on your heels (not your toes) and using your arms to balance yourself in the air and gain more momentum. It's simply practice :)

you never jump with your toes, always the heels

hmm i take its much easyer with bocks than jsut standing there as when  i just stand there i push off with my toes i tryed from heel and it felt well wierd lol
Title: Re: Jumping High
Post by: Bbmthbloke on July 18, 2007, 09:15:14 PM
if noramlly 'grounded' jumping up and down from heels   u will prob hurt yourself. But on bocks it works  u have to send a compressing force  directly down to the hooves. So you bounce through your heel rather than your toes as normally
