Title: Spring Break
Post by: dark-castles2 on August 17, 2010, 08:27:28 PM

Ok so I ordered new springs and thought Id prep my stilts ready, as I took of the hoof I realised I had sheered a bolt in half (thought nothing of it) then I realised the bolt got lodged in the metal hoof... then it struck me the rattling and crunch I had been hearing for ages, and the Riser Raptors had been joking about was a bolt slowly ripping through my springs causing this damage... Also the metal foot plate has got 6 fractures in the bottom from the bolt :S

P.S. I learnt my lesson about checking over the stilts hope you do to :D

Well we all thought it was a stone stuck somewhere because it originated after we were all trying to throw stones throught the gaps in DC's stilts ><
