Buying

[sillyboys2]

I met a person today and he said that you but the stilts by weight!
But i dont know what he means by that. Like is it the junior,adult and that or what?

i have PoweriSer Advanced 5070 stilts. Sod the fancy beginning, look at the 5070. This stands for anyone who weighs between 50-70kg. It is all in kilograms. Are you looking to buy a pair? If so, do do do, it is worth the money, trust me. THEY ARE AWESOME

You do buy bocks according to your weight...so the springs are the right strengh for you. There is stuff about it on the projump website.

Poweriser pros have the calf cuff but from what carl said the rest isnt that great. I guess it's all personal oppinion. I want calf cuffs

[Greggles]

thort u dident like calf cuffs spud

I heard the opposite, when i took them down to the gym i was told that it is the best overall pair of Bocks you can buy at the moment without wasting loads of cash. I personally want a pair of S-Rexs though

[Greggles]

yer go s-rex lol i got some now there lush

[chocl8]

The guide below gives a good idea about what weight is suitable for a new buyer interested in Pro-Jumps for further help see the following topic  http://www.projumpforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=1054.0 …



Pro-Jump’s in terms of quality, spring response and taking in to account the cost of £135 delivered, probably makes them an ideal choice for new comers to the sport. PoweriSer Pro’s have the cuff but recently questions have been raised about the spring quality and there are frame issues however the manufacturer are looking for a solution so this should be rectified soon, prior to this the poweriSer frame also had no issues. 7’s cost almost twice as much as Pro-Jumps, the spring is meant to be slightly more responsive, the spring cover is better, there is no proof to suggest the frame durability is any more than the other brands available on the market.

There's plus and minus points from all manufacturers so really buyers need to decide what factors are important to them and decide what the best buy for them is.

There is no stilt that is perfect, not even Powerskips so that's the first thing all bockers must sadly come to terms with 

Hope this helps.

I have been looking into getting another set soon and although I agree with a lot above I too have heard that the new Powerisers are having a few problems

I tried a pair of S-Rex's and found the spring action nice but I could bottom them at will within an hour of getting them (yes I'm heavy) so if you don't weigh to much they seem good but my 17st is to much

But me I am going for my 4th set of Pro-jumps (Carbons) I can bottom my last set but I have to do something silly Like jumping off a 4ft wall and putting power into them  (not one of my better jumps)

Oh and 2 of my sets of PJ's are up and running while the third is in use as spares

bottoming your bocks is'nt always a bad thing, as then you are getting maximum energy from your spring.

but you don't want bottom them out too easy either.

no, bottoming out your bocks is a bad thing. As this means that any potential energy is lost through the footplate into the spring and then into the ground meaning u will not jump high at all

[acroair]

lol   you will learn!

I agree with Chris on this one, bottoming out your springs isn't always a bad thing.

Some people bottom out there springs a couple times and then decide that it must mean that they need the next weight up and therefore buy new springs, when they bottom the next weight out they want the weight about that.
Its finding the balance between the effort you have to put into bottoming them out as well as the fact that your bottoming out.

I've been on raptors for nearly a year now and have been able to bottom them out for nearly a year now aswell, but i've only just decided to get stronger springs because I loved the fact that i could put soooo little effort into my jumps and a get an easy couple of foot air.

With the T-rex's i'm going to upgrade to, yes i can get higher on them but i have to put a lot more effort into bocking which will probably mean in the long run i will get tired much quicker.

Thats my 2 cents, for what its worth

Theres a FAQ on the bottoming out question that can be found here http://www.projumpforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=1047.0 but Rich has just about summed it up 

[Jason]

I do agree that bottoming out now and then is not a problem I do it on my PJ's every now and then

But when you bottom out when you stop from a run (one footed) and bottom out at will it's time to upgrade to a higher spring weight
