lol awwwww, i aint leaving
i have to many friends here... the only reason
i may sell my stilts is that i have no way of getting to meets easy
motorbikes and bocks dont go see lol....to be honest, i never got much chance to use them at meets anyhows...i was to busy setting people up with straps, which i liked...i got a buzz from helping to improve peoples bocking..
and the less i practiced it was like starting again almost, never stop lol....
i could create videos exactly how to make stuff in detail
sizes, lengths, ammount of stitching needed, and where, step by step...
they are not hard if you know exactly how and all the sizes....
buying bulk is expensive for me, and i have to buy bulk to keep prices down....
as you know i dont use crap stuff....and some things are from usa also...
if you made them yourself, you havnt got post and packaging costs to add, you dont have to take into account of bulk orders delivered to you, and what percentage of that to add on, or what paypal will take off you for its convienience.... it all adds up... you all could make perfect copies for around £14 using good stuff.
buying in bulk i can make upto 50 pairs a time...but if only 1 person a week wants some, im left all year round with no dining table as its covered in my buckles etc.....plus a bank waiting to get back what i'd spent
but saying that, already, 4 of you want some, hmmnnnn dont panic, your sorted...
its all thinking out loud at the minute, and obviously if someone is really stuck i would do some for them without question....
people from usa want some, that makes me feel bad, as our prices here of materials and things suck bigtime...
if i lived in usa i could make them half the price, but yet they still ask....
so video's would help in that way...its never been about profit only helping a sport get more enjoyable and easier.... they have helped people jump higher and also flip for the first time, but thats not down to the straps as such, its the extra confidence they give you as you feel more secure, they just helped you get there....you did the work.....
not to mention cuffs are coming on, although i still prefer the added protection of a bar, eventually i think cuffs will be the way to go, one with a knee cup protector would be good, work on that ;-)
really, all my straps are, is an add on to a product that lacked in thought
on one perticular part, and thats all brands....
shame get jumping stilts didnt stay in contact, i had an idea of a permanent
fixture to replace the crappy straps on stilts with my double releases
and this unsecure feeling on stilts would all be over and no need to search for add ons....come on you massive companies lol....
ha, did i mention stilts dont need looped bars, now thats got you wondering...check out the mini bock i made 2 year ago, you will get an idea..(as jason goes "tick tock tick tock")..the idea will definately work, but i cant make it in my shed lol....
is this a novel yet, anyhows, feeling alot better, just needing to rebuild my strength back up, then im back on the prowl muhahahahahahahaa
laters you slaaaagggss
