Stupid knee straps!

[monkey_boyuk]

hey guys im the newbie bocker these days!!!!

any ideas apart from lacing my legs to the darn knee bar of how to strap myself in properly using straps supplied!!! ive looked at the manual followed it letter by letter and im still as wobbley at the knees as if id just snogged lucy pinder! i can walk fine jump fine and run (not at full speed) as they just dont feel tight enough around the knees?

really frustrating

oh and to the guy who bocked indoors and banged his head i constantly do that on my doorframe on the way out the house ud of thought id of learnt by now but obeviously not im currently sporting a slight gash to my head


sooooooooooooo any ideas would be nice oh and the rain isnt too bad just do not walk ur dog on them not a good idea ladies and gents!

Hiya to the forum.
How big is your legs, sounds odd but the hoops are one size fits all so you may have lots of room !?
If you push your knee pads in ( I hope you have pads ) and still find it loose you culd try wrapping a tea-cloth around the foam to bulk it up ( like some have ).
There are also a PINHEAD strap that could be helpful ( Just do a quick search on this forum ).

Just found this for you

One important thing !?

Bocking in doors isn't the good idea, your more likely fall on the edge of a coffie table the the sofa 
If you know what your doing then bocking in door is .... still not a good idea

they sorta fit just a little loose. and my legs are well umm average not fat not thin? guess i may have to go down the pinhead strap side. although i am loving my power risers il be honest got them purely for the giggle but they are becoming a good excercise aswell!!!! so i can keep fit and have a laugh!

The knee straps that come with the stilts are not overly useful.
I offer alternative quick-release bindings..  see here:

Well unless you want to serious f**k your knee up and potenially be out of bocking for a year or so.
Without wrist pads you can easily break your wrist as shown in this picture of jason. Yes he know has a metal plate and several screws in his wrist.

Would you punch a brick wall or hit a hammer on your knee cap ?
NO !?
But you don't mind punching the floor and cracking your knee cap when you fall over which you WILL one day.

I got bored of revising so i made these from whatever was lying around  .......

zendalfire  you are a legend of a man! i pretty much have that stuff lieing around in my house seein as i have a dog!!! looks like il be bocking this weekend folks! oh and bocking in the rain is not fun purely because i got very wet! and just to prove the original straps are dangerouse one snapped while i was running and nearly sent me flying good job im not bad as i did not fall   still no knee pads yet but il buy some soon

I would have that stuff lying around if I had a normal dog and not a whippet lol. Somehow I dont think whippet/greyhound collars will work. Even so. The reason the zenstraps are great is that the stuff is so easy to get hold of.
