did i hear stiff springs??? ooh my , i think you might wanna grab a cuppa before i begin...
oh and ill have a hot chocolate while ur making some xD
back yet?
good, allright here i start: i was EXACTLY the same as urself (tho im 19). i have a hyperactive background and i do consider myself slighty overweight but fit non the less. i currently weight 68kg and bought M90's thinking : yes im gonna get stronger, im gonna get fitter and ill be able to work them and get major hight.. trust me they are stiffer than you expect them to be... i was a n00b when i got them to and it just really did not work out well.... even tho i was stomping hard for a jump i got no higher than a foot off the ground and that was after 6 hours of trying. i kept at it thinking maybe i just dont have the right tecnique or something, truth be was i was just not strong enough, heavy enough or skilled enough to make full useage of the stiffness.... or compress them even.
take my word for it even if you are good on a tramp go for m80's, that way you can get a good start and then when ur bottoming the 80's out buy new 90's springs and sell the old ones... u will at least have good experience with bocks and know the right way to use em.
once i got fed up ( after about a month and a bit of trying to tame the 90's ) i bought 80's springs and as soon as i fitted them in the frame, i was jumping three quarters of a meter within minutes. now i know how to jump the right way on bocks, i think that if i put the 90's back in i can get more than a foot. lol.
dont make the mistake i did you will regret it... i know i did.. had to spend 75 quid more than i needed to. im keeping the 90's tho for future
hope this helps... most people on the forum know this story and couple of people have tried to help me, i.e. Clive, Glasto, the springers gang...
coventry huh... thats really near b'ham... i think there are a couple of people up in brum if ur willing to go there. ill let you know once i get names..
