Just tried my stilts on...

[Gixer]

I've just tried them on, OMFG I'm gonna have to learn to balance and walk again aren't I?  Gonna go read up on adjusting them for best fit as I have very skinny legs and they feel very loose around the knee area   Maybe I should have got the kids size??

Not too keen on having a go without lots of crash mats about first!!!!!!!

It will take you less than about 30 mins to start walking quite confidently on them,so don't sound so worried!

Make sure you adjust the knee bar so its right for you see - I know you have skyrunners but generally speaking most of the info on the forum will be tranferable to any jumping stilts you have. Just double check your manual just incase its slightly different.

About the gap check out the the first steps link in my signiature theres info in that thread which will help and also check out the topic on knee straps in the FAQ.

If you are above 5ft and over 45kg you're fine on the adult ones!

Its a bit off topic so I'll move your post & this answer for you on its own thread

Well done

You do not need the crash mats but safety gear helps particularly wrist protectors and elbow pads. Gone for the full monty and not hurt much but my pride. Spectacularly caressed a lampost on saturday.

Agreed pads are a must especialy wristguards don't end up with a wrist like mine was
