Title: the chooice of the stilt size?
Post by: robinangered on May 23, 2010, 12:57:47 PM

im going to order my first adult pro jumping stilt from pro-jump.co.uk.

my old stilts is flyjumper i bought here in sweden, now i need some new and im going for some from pro-jump.

I weigh 98kg and is 189cm tall, shoe size 46c, which stilt size should I choose? will run and jump down from heights of 1.5 m.

M90 / M100 /M110?

Well, I would personally say the M110s, but bear in mind they will be quite stiff to start. But I would have thought that the M100s will be a bit soft for big jumps as you are 98KG. You could call up Pro Jump and get them to put in a 109 or 108 spring in, but I would have thought that with a little practice the 110s should be fine.

Hope this helps.

i want the stilts to be soft, or not just to hard, when im running i want them to go down some and not beeing to hard if you know what i mean  :Crolleyes:

i tried out m120 i think, and the spring didnt even move when i tried to jump on them, it was like jumping on rocks/stone.

 :Cbiggrin: if you say m110, i will order them, its summer now and it's time to have fun  :Ctwitcy:

Hey, I am 16 years old and 6 foot 6" weighing 96 kgs ish

I just ordered the M110 because I will still get heavier but I was wondering if I ordered a size too big or not ??

Thanks

Hi JM,

I'm not as much of an expert as some of the other guys on the Forum, but the M110's sound the right choice to me.  I know plenty of guys who bounce and do tricks on stilts up to 20Kg above their weight.

Especially if you get a little heavier over the next year or two.

Well it's all depends upon the weight and size and height of the particular person, he can afford the weight of the stilts and they should be soft,thanks.
