Ok, maybe because it's where I live :P, but I keep getting the usual questions like this;
'Ooh, they're cool, what are they?'
'How much do they cost'
'Aren't they what's on telly'
And then they come out with 'And what are they for?' :(
What are they for? ??? What do you mean what are they for :-\
Still haven't come up with a decent answer as I just trawl off to a 'well they're fun' sort of answer and then they say 'why' ???
AARRGGHH ??? ???
-
To have fun, exercise and just be able to jump stupidly high :P
-
'there is no point to them what soever' that works quite well.
or 'fun whats the point of watching football, playing cricket, sk8boarding drinking beer, its all just a bit of fun'
Oh and if they ask 'how high can you get' i now reply 'depends what drugs my man can get me'
And if asked 'are they fun' rpley 'no magistrate said wear them or 3 months in prison'
They shut peeps up pretty quick ;D
-
You need to carry some projump info cards ;D
-
still doesnt beat the rose fair in wisbech when we told people you can buy 'em at argos and poundland ;D
-
Argos yeah...
BUT Poundland come on!!!
-
When I was searching to buy some last year I seem to remember that Currys online stocked stilts (very vague memory and they were expensive) it was either them or Dixons
I think they were PJ's but I could be wrong
-
Yep it was Currys
-
It was even better because they actually rushed off to look in poundland.... ;D
-
I just say EBAY ;D
My brother say's I buy any rubbish off ebay ???
Nothing wrong with a t-shirt that got flashing LED's on it !? :o ;D
-
I had flashing shoes once... :D
-
Argos yeah...
BUT Poundland come on!!!
toys r us are selling powerizers at £179.99

They ARE Pro-Jumps. Made in the same factory by the same company in china. All they have is a different name stamped on them.

I've noticed that there seems to be three types of shops where you can get PJs. The first and most obvious is jumping stilt distributors like Pro Jump. Then you get shops like Argos where people who have never seen them before can impulse buy them from. And finally you have gadget shops designed for idiot office executives with far too much money to throw around. On iwantoneofthose.com they used to sell the same ones as Pro Jump for about £290. Seems like a rip off to me but then again they also sell a rubber band gattling gun which can fire off 180 rubber bands. All for only £180. Unbelievable. ???
-
not sure its worth £180, but it would be cool!!
-
180 bands at once? That'd be cool.

Was in Town on my PJ's and was showing some poeple the photo of us outside Bockingham palace and they ask if we do that evey weekend ! :o
( Wish we could ! )
Told them that there's small meets most weeks of 5 -10 ( guess ? ) but I'm the only one around here :(
-
You should have tried to tempt them to buy some too! I'm sure there is others near you - but they are in hiding!

I was sat out side my sisters house putting my PJ's on when an old women rushed over to me :o
She looked at them and then said
" Oh they are real !? I thought it was a computer thing for the a TV Ad ! "
I should have said something like.
They are and I'm just a CGI on a green screen ;D
JShe said she just had to wait to see me walk on them .... it was then I noticed I had put them on the wrong feet :-[
But I got up and Bocked off round the corner and swopped them over :D
-
i got asked "are they your real feet?" once... :-\
she was blonde and a chav so you carnt blame her ;D
-
Best one i got was from bouncing around my school, being watched by a teacher who came out and said...."well, what are they for then?" :o
-

Why?????
:) Well it has more hydrogen atoms in it, doesn't it ???
So that should make it lighter really ::) but it gets more dense, so its heavier :)

No I meant Why do you want to know DK
I looked into geting Hydrogen peroxide for a rocket project a while ago (easier to get 100% pure in the states but hard here ) so I wondered Why you wanted Heavy water ??
