Title: New Generation Pro-Jumps --> Pro-Jump Elites
Post by: webmaster on September 04, 2007, 04:27:36 PM: As most of you already know Pro-Jump will soon be stocking the new Pro-Jump Elite model based on a revolutionary new lighter design. We were hoping these new Pro-Jump Elites would be in stock by now but there is going to be a delay.

(http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/3378/projumpelite3640kb1.jpg)
*The picture shows the current prototype the final design may change.

We are aware that these are already available in America & Europe under various names such as Upwings, AirRunner, Redoxx however we are not 100% happy with them as yet and are not looking to stock them until we are completely happy and are confident that they are an excellent product.

Upon various tests by a number of extreme bockers we have found that they do have weaknesses that would make them dangerous to use for people who are doing stunts. However the issues can be rectified and we are working on modifying the design so that they are the ultimate bocks available on the market.

Not only working on an idea for a MOD pair but I've already got it's name !
FUSION
which sort of gives you a clue has to what the MOD is !?
I've even do a quick mock up picture.

I really think I'd make a pair even if they don't work in the way I hope would look wicked !
Title: Re: New Generation Pro-Jumps --> Pro-Jump Elites
Post by: sprog on September 06, 2007, 11:08:23 PM: Well considering these are already pushed back 3 months, I hope you guys can get them released before christmas!
They do look really nice but I'm still unsure about the new lower portion of the stilts (Lack of spring protection by the hoofs? May scr***e the floor if you bottom out?), and the ability to change the footplate from solid to tilting
Title: Re: New Generation Pro-Jumps --> Pro-Jump Elites
Post by: webmaster on September 06, 2007, 11:52:54 PM: One of the changes made to these stilts is the rubber stopper, which is a lot bigger and stronger than the one on the current projumps. This should help in that department.

So far the removal of the hoof metal has not affected the spring in tests but we will keep an eye on it.

We hope they will be in by Christmas but only if we are happy with them

fingers crossed hey :)

Title: Re: New Generation Pro-Jumps --> Pro-Jump Elites
Post by: webmaster on October 18, 2007, 09:13:56 AM: Have a look at the following thread as you can see them in action http://www.projumpforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=1062.msg12410#msg12410

Upon our tests we found that they do give a better performance than the current versions as they are much lighter but there was a few things we didn't like so we are hoping to rectify that before selling them.

We think its not a good idea to rush them out until we are happy with them ;)
Title: Re: New Generation Pro-Jumps --> Pro-Jump Elites
Post by: XS on October 23, 2007, 06:34:43 PM: I got a chance to try out the current Upwing (elite's name for USA) prototype this weekend, here's some pro's and cons based on my test run.
just a few details to get out of the way.
I weight 89kg, i was on M90 80-90 kg springs, right before i tried them i was trying out velocity stilts (yeah the $3000 ones), it was a good weekend.

they're definately the lightest bock i've worn, and i've worn every thing from velocities to poweriSers to poweriZers, the upwings are lighter.

There are a few oddities about the upwing, the hoof is farther forward (the spring is about 3 inches longer(i think that's the right number) compared to other bocks so where as it was under the middle of your foot before it is now under the front of your foot, this constantly makes you lean forward to keep your center of gravity over the hoof. This feels really weird at first, you don't notice much once you start jumping, i've been told this makes flips feel weird by a fellow bocker there who did flip them.

Also the cuffs strapped up nicely , but the weird foam bits in the cuff rub like crazy and if you are not wearing long pants of full wrap knee pads, they hurt like hell i could only wear them for about 15 mins and my calves were burning with pain. This was echoed by the others who tried them out with shorts and no knee pads, those with pants said they were fine.

The foot bindings were surprisingly more secure than they looked, but i was only on them for 15mins so i can't really say they might not loosen in extended bocking sections, they also have some velcro on there that is meant to hold down the extra strap but it only seems to line up if you have extremely large feet, cause they were too long for my size 12 shoe. The velcro doesn't do anything, just stops a bit from flapping around.

I don't know how many hours were put in on the pair i was using, but the hoof was worn a significant amount, more than my current pair of 2007 poweriSers and the upwings definately didn't have as much use time as mine have. So hoof wear still looks to be a problem. :(

The other big thing i didn't like was when i try to jump my legs feel like my knees are being forced apart from each other, it was uncomfortable and awkward. I'm not sure why this is, and others did notice the same thing.

One thing to note was that i was using M90 springs, i'm 89kg ish and i wasn't comfortable trying to bottom them out due to the weird knee pressure. I felt that i was getting good height for the spring, but i really don't know how high i was going with only half to 3/4 compression.

One great thing about them is they were dead quiet, and all the pivots look very solid so that doesn't seem like they'll squeak like other bocks.

To get a real feel for them I'd need more time on them but an initial impression is they're a solid desgin with a few minor issues a few potential flaws, but its yet to be seen if those flaws like the bolt through the spring will really be a problem.

one more flaw is the spring protection, it's cloth, and shreds fairly quickly, apparently they come with a wax pencil or something so you can draw on them, no one knows why.

They do really have magnets in the cuff inserts, they claim it helps circulation or something silly, it's all a joke to me.

wow long post, that's all i got for now.
Title: Re: New Generation Pro-Jumps --> Pro-Jump Elites
Post by: webmaster on October 23, 2007, 07:07:42 PM: Thanks for a good review on these Nick

Here's my personal take on it...

Quote
I weight 89kg, i was on M90 80-90 kg springs, right before i tried them i was trying out velocity stilts (yeah the $3000 ones)
Again on these I would be recommending people to go at least 10kg higher.
Oh and you are lucky things getting to try the VMS out - You must be in an elite minority now! 8)

Quote
There are a few oddities about the upwing, the hoof is farther forward (the spring is about 3 inches longer...
Our testers didn't mention this but I will try to get their thoughts on this point for you. They actually thought these were much more easier to use and felt more natural.

Quote
Also the cuffs strapped up nicely , but the weird foam bits in the cuff rub like crazy...
Actually our testers said the following about that too: "The extra padding inside the calf cuff is not necessary and digs into your legs if you use whilst wearing shorts"

Luckily the Magnetic Foam Padding comes off so if you don't like it and you have shorts on just take it off. Its recommended you use Knee Pads with these as it will fill the gap and make it feel a lot more secure.

Quote
The foot bindings were surprisingly more secure than they looked...
Again we agree on this totally, our testers did found these very comfortable however thought the strap itself was too long. Having good quality snowboard bindings on these would Rock though ;)

Quote
... but the hoof was worn a significant amount...

The ones our testers tested had a black hoof but they thought it looks different and longer lasting - only time will tell and I will be disappointed if its not been rectified.

Quote
one more flaw is the spring protection
Yeah you're right... I thought it looks good but won't do the job - the protection does need to be better.

Quote
...but an initial impression is they're a solid design with a few minor issues a few potential flaws, but its yet to be seen if those flaws like the bolt through the spring will really be a problem.
There is a few flaws in the design and I wouldn't recommend anyone with the prototypes to do stunts on them. The design is very solid and they are very well made. Also they aren't noisy which is great!

I think personally that if the few issues that need sorting are sorted adequately then this will be an excellent product.

Woah I think thats one of my longest posts :o

Title: Re: New Generation Pro-Jumps --> Pro-Jump Elites
Post by: Bbmthbloke on October 23, 2007, 08:39:26 PM: thanks to you both. I think the perfect stilts( besides the $3K velocity stilts -- tho as the dollar is going they are getting more and more affordable ;D) would be a bit from all brands, just like mountain biking.

Fab that the 1st knowlegable review is from XS. He is a great bouncer, is dedicated to this sport and is totally unbiased ( I hwould h8 to say a bad word to peeps I like who sell this things -so never ask me what to buy). Also has no interest in the UK market ---the test he refers to were in New York City last weekend ( I couldnt get time off work so couldnt bit bullet and spend money and go grrr)

But fingers crossed he gets to post some video , 1 guy was flipping on a traffic island in time square -till the NYPD asked him to move on. Also there may be a rare siting of the lesser spotted 'BillC' , now he is theman who invented the 'tyre sox' which many of you use.

So XS when you get some post the vids x
Title: Re: New Generation Pro-Jumps --> Pro-Jump Elites
Post by: XS on October 24, 2007, 04:05:00 AM: sry but i've got no vids of the upwings, it was dark by the time we got to them and my cam doesn't work in the dark. the vid of the rest of the day is all on the guys from getjumpingstilts. As for velocities being the perfect stilt i'd have to disagree, and i think their owner would too, the springs are glorious, but the rest of the stilt, its a powerskip with cuffs and different food bindings, not worth and extra $1.8k. I think being on them has convinced me that i need to get the money for skip springs but Skip frames are not for me, the support rods were so close together that they crushed my foot. I'll stick with my PR 2007's with skip springs as my dream bock of the moment.

Or yeah and to add DK... they only come upto 110kg so unless your "Fusion" mod works may not be suitable for you :P

More of the fact that the arm is connected to the spring!!! I hope that this problem is sorted out, as I see the units being a one use job!! Unless they can be changed, then what expectancy can you be looking at for the springs?

Post by: webmaster on December 03, 2007, 10:07:47 PM: The ones we tested were smooth, not noisy at all so if you saw some that were noisy maybe they have a problem with them!

These will be available from us when we are hapy with everything so until then I'm afraid no more news.

Most of the ones that people have already are earlier versions that some sellers sold.

Title: Re: New Generation Pro-Jumps --> Pro-Jump Elites
Post by: Spud on January 20, 2008, 07:35:16 PM: No. Its more of a bribe to keep you there. And it works. I only get the £10 aswell and so do loads of people but it really does keep people there. My ema goes into my savings account and I use my money on random college bits like printing DV tapes ect.

Post by: Spud on January 20, 2008, 10:30:36 PM: I dont like duras. A bit heavy I think but the first stilts I ever went on. (other that them buckets under your feet lol)
Title: Re: New Generation Pro-Jumps --> Pro-Jump Elites
Post by: Sx Nutta on January 20, 2008, 10:47:39 PM: dura's are light, and buckles are above the feet
Title: Re: New Generation Pro-Jumps --> Pro-Jump Elites
Post by: Spud on January 20, 2008, 10:50:57 PM: When I used them I found them heavy and clumpy. But maybe I was just small lol

Title: Re: New Generation Pro-Jumps --> Pro-Jump Elites
Post by: Jason on January 22, 2008, 10:37:19 PM: Yep I had a go on Durastilts at work the smaller ones are light but the higher you go the heavier they get but at least you can stand fairly still with PJ's it's move or fall :haha:

Post by: Spud on January 23, 2008, 10:02:53 AM: Thats all stilts exept dura's. I like having to move. Keeps you moving on them so it is good for poi and stuff... my feet are usually moving then anyway as I like to do turns. Didnt like learning though :biggrin:

Title: Re: New Generation Pro-Jumps --> Pro-Jump Elites
Post by: masterking09 on February 08, 2008, 01:32:07 AM: just wondering if there is any new news on the elites.
Title: Re: New Generation Pro-Jumps --> Pro-Jump Elites
Post by: Sx Nutta on February 08, 2008, 01:54:54 AM: The elites are still under R&D, until Pro Jump, are 100% happy with them!!
Title: Re: New Generation Pro-Jumps --> Pro-Jump Elites
Post by: Jonny on February 10, 2008, 01:11:59 PM: omfg :censored: these look amazing! If i pre-order these do i HAVE to buy them as soon as you guys are selling them? because i might not have the money in time
Title: Re: New Generation Pro-Jumps --> Pro-Jump Elites
Post by: Dark Knight on February 10, 2008, 01:38:01 PM: I'm right in thinking they don't make a 120kg elite ?
Title: Re: New Generation Pro-Jumps --> Pro-Jump Elites
Post by: wiimii on March 25, 2008, 10:43:00 PM: i might have to get some of these, my new springs don't fit my pro-jumps

any idea on the price??
Title: Re: New Generation Pro-Jumps --> Pro-Jump Elites
Post by: TomH999 on September 19, 2009, 09:31:20 PM: What ever happened to the release of the Elite stilts?
Title: Re: New Generation Pro-Jumps --> Pro-Jump Elites
Post by: Athoul on September 19, 2009, 09:44:32 PM: They had a couple major design flaws which projump found though testing them out themselves and therefore they wouldn't sell them until they were completely happy with them.

I've heard that there is going to be a new model released sometime but you'd have to get Naz to hazard a guess as too when.
Title: Re: New Generation Pro-Jumps --> Pro-Jump Elites
Post by: sprog on September 19, 2009, 09:56:22 PM: I think it's the same as before... "When we're happy with them"
Title: Re: New Generation Pro-Jumps --> Pro-Jump Elites
Post by: Jason on September 19, 2009, 10:07:12 PM: Better to wait until they are ready than to get them early and have them break :Cbiggrin:

In other word be patient :Claugh:

Title: Re: New Generation Pro-Jumps --> Pro-Jump Elites
Post by: Bbmthbloke on July 14, 2010, 06:34:06 PM: release of a new pair of stilts....and wotever make, none seem to have got it rite ( its all hope over expectation) its kinda think of a date, hope its better, know its probably 3 times worse, un u had money on it and were hoping 4 best.

So basically dont hang back buying ya stilts xx
Title: Re: New Generation Pro-Jumps --> Pro-Jump Elites
Post by: XS on July 14, 2010, 08:28:56 PM: They've been available in the US since last winter and you all should be glad that Naz and her test team are still plugging away at them to make them the best they can be. They're pretty good now, good enough that i bought a set, but there's still a few small things here and there that if Naz can get them to fix everyone will like them even more.
Title: Re: New Generation Pro-Jumps --> Pro-Jump Elites
Post by: webmaster on July 14, 2010, 10:37:04 PM: XS has it spot on, my biggest concern was safety thats why we have done such lengthy testing on these, I know no stilts will be perfect and some mods will always be needed here and there - but you have to try your best as a seller to ensure they are safe to use. We have established that now but there is still a few bits we aren't happy with so we are hoping to get that sorted or at least try our best too.
Title: Re: New Generation Pro-Jumps --> Pro-Jump Elites
Post by: Locky on July 14, 2010, 11:05:59 PM: I feel a bit daft saying this but there were times a few years ago when I publicly ripped into projumps because of white spacers falling out and feet that didnt last a weekend but I have to say Naz is right on the money with this. She is taking care of every practical detail well beyond anything I expected. You guys have no idea how much work she is putting into getting these new stilts right and I hope when they are on sale that everyone appreciates it because I cant see any other retailer anywhere in the world putting in the work like she is.

If noting else it gives you more time to save up, anyway, If its taken this long then their going to be good! :Cyes:

Post by: Jason on July 15, 2010, 08:38:24 PM: You'll have to try harder SNuD :Claugh: only 2 films quotes mentioned :Cbiggrin:

You could have got "Wax on Wax off" (Karate Kid) in there somewhere

Or "Impatient you are Ready you are not" (Yoda)

Any more folks :Claugh:

Seriously thought there will be faults with any new stilts but I must agree with Locky the amount of work Naz has put into them if there is any justice in this world they should be perfect
