Title: Types and makes of stilts...
Post by: TheWhiteYeti on August 31, 2012, 05:15:40 PM
Hello guys,

  I own a set of Projump Exo Pro stilts and I was wondering what other manufacturers and types of stilts that are available. I know of powerizers, but that is about it.

  Thanks,

  Ryan

In the reasonable price league PJ's are about it at the moment as all the others are selling the older models

Powerskips are in the just sub £1000 area
Speedjumpers are a very nice frame and use the same spring as PJ's also in the just sub £1000 area last time I heard

There are 7 leagues but they have sort of priced themselves out of the market and seem to be hard to get over here
Also the springs are a bit soft for the larger bockers

Anyone else think of any more

Here are the relevant links from a quick google.

http://www.speedjumper.de/fwp/jumper (http://www.speedjumper.de/fwp/jumper)

The 7 Leagues website appears to be down though... I do quite like the Speedjumper tilt on the footplate, with access to a mill you could probably mod most existing models without too much effort, so long as they don't sue for copyright.

Think you have it the wrong way round there mate  :Cbiggrin:
Powerskip have the moving footplate

And yes it is possible to alter them but easier to do it the way I have

This way you get the best of both worlds (a moving footplate and cheap springs)

I machined the footplates as well (I am a cheapskate  :Claugh: )and they don't sell them seperately

I do apologise! I got a bit confuzzled. That's a really good mod man! It's the way I was thinking of doing it! Very impressive.
