HOW HIGH CAN YOU GO
« on: June 07, 2009, 11:22:02 AM »

      Ive been looking at loads of youtube vids of bockers jumping over cars and doing somersaults and backflips. some videos came from this site actually and i was wondering if the bocks they are using are the same as the adult bocks on this site. Are they? Because if i gonna get some pro jumpers then i wanna know how high im going!?

(psst, don't get ahead of yourself/post a new thread for every question  :Ctongue:)

yes you can go that high on PJs, but it takes a lot of practice, don't expect to strap on and instantly be able to jump a car, the people that do that kind of thing have usually been going for about 2-3 years depending on prior gymnastics experience etc

example: i've been going about 1.5 years, only just starting to land frontflips

learning time ~10-20 minutes to walk, few weeks for first tricks and jumping, then who knows how long for anything else, really does depend on personal fitness, skill, and determination a lot

Do some types of powerbocks go higher/last longer than others?

Play nicely kids :P

You can do the same stuff on all brands of bocks really. More expensive stilts are more responsive and are easier to get lots of height out of but if you don't mind working a bit harder you can do just as much on projumps. As for lasting longer, again, probably about the same depending on how you look after them. Projumps need a bit more maintenance than some others but if you look after them they will last well.

P.S you really should take the advice about starting lots of topics ;)
